A: Wrong. Honey contains no hormones, only royal jelly contains hormones. Children can safely take honey. Modern research shows that children often eat honey, which can promote their development, make their teeth and bones grow fast and strong, and enhance their resistance to diseases. Someone observed: Let two children, one eat food containing honey and the other eat food without honey. 1 month later, the hemoglobin content of children who ate honey increased by 13%, while that of children who didn't eat honey only increased by 4%.
2. 1 There are two reasons why babies before the age of 0 can't drink honey: 1. Babies will be infected with Botox in honey; 2, it will destroy the microbial balance in the intestine and cause gastrointestinal dysfunction.
A: Wrong. Just because of the accidental honey poisoning incident in the United States, it cannot be determined that honey is the breeding base of Botox. In fact, honey itself has a strong bactericidal power. Honey has low water content, high sugar content and acidity, and it is difficult for bacteria such as Botox to survive and reproduce. The active enzyme in honey is a catalyst for food, which can promote children's gastrointestinal function and stimulate appetite. Honey has therapeutic effects on anemia caused by iron deficiency, copper and manganese in children, jaundice in newborns, vomiting, infection and constipation in infants.
However, domestic experts have repeatedly stressed that babies before 1 year old are fasting honey, which is due to the poor overall quality of honey in China: fake honey accounts for almost half of the honey market; In real honey, concentrated honey accounts for more than 80%. There are few pure and high-quality natural mature honey, and most people don't understand the concept of "natural mature honey". Therefore, for the sake of safety, experts directly recommend that children before 1 year old should not take honey.
3, honey is sweet, children will hurt their teeth, so children had better not eat honey.
A: Wrong. The sweetness of honey will not damage the enamel of children's teeth. German dentists suggest that parents can use honey instead of sweets such as sugar and chocolate. Swiss pediatricians suggest that you can apply some honey to your gums when your child teets.
4, honey has a refreshing effect, so it is best not to drink honey before going to bed at night, for fear of causing insomnia.
A: Wrong. This is the magic of honey: drinking it in the morning can refresh and replenish energy. Drinking at night can soothe the nerves and promote sleep. You can also drink it with milk. The drinking method can be as follows: after getting up in the morning, pour a cup of boiling water, add two spoonfuls of honey when the temperature is lower than 60 degrees, and then drink. Before going to bed at night, take two spoonfuls of honey in your mouth, and slowly let the honey slide down your throat to moisten your throat. Drinking this way not only helps hypnosis, but also helps to treat diseases such as chronic pharyngitis.
Some people say that drinking too much honey is not good, so I only dare to drink one spoonful every day.
A: Wrong. The dietary restriction of honey is beyond the reach of most people. Under normal circumstances, adults can drink 20 -30 grams, and 50 grams is enough. If used to treat diseases, you can take100g. The concept of100g means that a bottle of 500g honey can be drunk in 5 days. Few people can finish a bottle of honey in 10 days. The author often takes more than 50 grams without any problems.
6, honey contains sugar, I am losing weight, so I dare not drink.
A: Wrong. This is also the magic of honey. Sugar is the main component of honey, accounting for about 80% of the total honey, of which fructose and glucose account for 85% ~ 95% of the total sugar, and sucrose accounts for about 5%. White sugar is mainly sucrose. Eating too much will make people fat. Honey is mainly fructose and glucose, but also contains protein, amino acids, vitamins, inorganic salts, organic acids and enzymes. Fructose and glucose are monosaccharides directly absorbed by human body, which can quickly restore physical strength and relieve fatigue. Moreover, the B vitamins in honey can also convert body fat into energy and release it. So although honey is sweeter than sugar, it won't make people fat. As early as BC, it was recorded in Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica that honey is "long and strong, wise, not old, and prolongs life". The so-called "Homo sapiens" means to lose weight without getting fat.
7. I heard that honey is good for the elderly, but my father has diabetes. Honey contains sugar, which will aggravate the condition of diabetes. Therefore, it's a pity that dad can't drink honey.
A: Wrong. This is also the magic of honey. Honey can not only aggravate the condition of diabetic patients, but also treat diabetes, but only if it is good honey, high-quality pure natural mature honey. Fake honey and inferior concentrated honey are forbidden for diabetics.
The diabetes research group of Beijing Hospital has got an empirical scientific answer in the screening of traditional Chinese medicines for lowering blood sugar. Through the screening of 50 kinds of single traditional Chinese medicines, 35 kinds of traditional Chinese medicines have hypoglycemic effect, among which 1 1 has obvious hypoglycemic effect, and honey is one of them. So it can be said that honey is sweet but can cure diabetes. In fact, Zhang Zhongjing, a holy doctor in the Han Dynasty, first mentioned using honey to treat diabetes in Synopsis of the Golden Chamber. There is also a folk prescription of "treating diabetes with eggs and honey". It is reported that the British Diabetes Monitoring and Management Center has treated hundreds of thousands of cases of diabetes with honey, and the cure rate is over 90%. To this end, the British medical community warned diabetic patients that eating honey is beneficial. Dr. Williams, chairman of the British Diabetes Monitoring and Management Center, explained that according to his clinical data, an insulin-like substance named "polypeptide -P" can be proposed from honey and royal jelly. This substance has been tested on diabetes in animals and humans for nearly 10,000 times and has the same medicinal effect as insulin.
8. Honey has a laxative effect. I often hear friends say that honey can cure constipation, so I bought a bottle of jujube honey, hoping to cure my constipation.
A: Wrong. Among all kinds of honey, only jujube nectar is fasted by constipation patients. The best honey for constipation is acacia honey and Chinese milk vetch honey, while jujube honey can not only cure constipation, but also aggravate the condition of constipation.
9. I heard that motherwort honey is especially good for women. Now pregnant, I plan to continue to drink motherwort honey.
A: Wrong. Pregnant women can take honey, preferably acacia honey, and jujube honey is not recommended because it is easy to cause constipation. Motherwort honey is very good for women, and it is a kind of honey suitable for women to eat, but pregnant women must definitely ban it, because motherwort honey promotes blood circulation and is not good for the fetus.
10, I saw the grading of honey on the internet, and honey is divided into four grades. I usually choose the first grade honey when I buy honey, because the first grade honey has the best quality.
A: Wrong. Honey can be divided into four grades according to the color, fragrance, taste and physical and chemical characteristics of different kinds of honey, except for the classification of first grade honey, second grade honey and third grade honey. But this grade mainly depends on color and fragrance, not nutritional indicators. Light honey with clear fragrance is higher, while dark honey is lower. But in terms of nutritional value, honey with darker color often has higher nutritional value. First-class, second-class, third-class, fourth-class and so on are not standards of quality.
Second, 10 common sense error in purchasing savings
1, there are generally no fakes in the supermarket, so I went to the supermarket to buy honey, at least to ensure that it is real honey.
A: Wrong. This is the biggest common sense mistake. If fake honey is rampant, it is hard to say it in supermarkets, especially big supermarkets, such as Wal-Mart and Carrefour. Because it is extremely difficult to identify fake honey, even the quality inspection agencies of authoritative departments are not very sure about high-level fraud. Moreover, supermarkets do not have the ability to identify fake honey, and now supermarkets can be put on shelves as long as they pay the entrance fee. Every time I go into the supermarket, I can always find a lot of fake honey. What is particularly ridiculous is that the content of a "honey" in Shanghai detected by Liaoning Industrial and Commercial Bureau is zero, which means that this bottle of "honey" is pure syrup, but the author recently saw this fake honey in a supermarket in Jingsan Road, Zhengzhou City, and the price is 13.8 yuan. Honey in specialty stores is much more reliable than that in supermarkets.
I buy honey according to the brand. The higher the popularity, the more reliable it is. As Ge You said, I believe in the masses.
A: Wrong. The eyes of the masses are not always sharp, especially honey, which is difficult for ordinary consumers to distinguish between true and false. Brand means reliability, but it is not absolutely reliable. A few years ago, a well-known honey company in Beijing was found to have a syrup content of over 50%. After the blow, the enterprise was devastated. Another southern bee product enterprise took this opportunity to grow rapidly and become a veritable overlord of China bee product enterprises. But last year, a report in China Fortune magazine exposed many irregularities of this enterprise. Brand does not represent 100% reliability.
The price is in direct proportion to the quality. I usually choose the most expensive honey, at least psychologically.
A: Wrong. Price is not directly proportional to quality. Good quality honey will definitely be expensive, but expensive honey may not be of good quality. A leading bee product enterprise, the product price is expensive, which is more than twice as expensive as similar bee products. However, the quality of this enterprise's bee products is not good, and it is still concentrated honey, but it has to sell the price of natural mature honey. According to related reports, before the company planned to list 195g organic linden honey, it proposed two price points: 19 yuan and 28 yuan, and then reported them to the chairman. Finally, the chairman set the price as 38 yuan, and in the second year, he mentioned 4 1 yuan.
I usually pay attention to the place of origin when I buy honey. For example, Henan is the main producing area of acacia honey, and Xinzheng has many jujube trees. I also prefer to buy jujube honey in Xinzheng.
A: Wrong. Where there are many jujube trees, jujube nectar is not necessarily good. Unfortunately, Xinzheng was selected as one of the four major fake honey producing areas in China. The other three are in Hebei, Shandong and Guangxi. The owner of a honey export unit told reporters that Japanese businessmen hope to import a batch of high-quality jujube nectar from Henan. The boss went to Xinzheng and turned around. On a whim, he was disappointed. Since then, he advised Japanese businessmen to die.
The honey I bought from the beekeeper can't be fake. I saw the honey that the beekeeper shook out of the beehive with my own eyes.
A: Wrong. Peddlers selling fake honey in the streets have become a * * * knowledge. But many people still think that the honey shaken from the bee farm at the scene will never be fake again. Seeing is believing, and the honey that shakes out is not necessarily good honey. Many people report that the acacia honey bought from the bee farm is too thin, and the bottle will rise at home, and the bottle cap will be pushed away by fermented gas. This is because the honey sold to you by the bee farm is real honey, but it is immature honey with high moisture content, which is easy to ferment and deteriorate, and you can't drink it if it deteriorates seriously. Moreover, most bee farms only let honey collect nectar in the flowering season, but feed syrup to produce honey, which is called molasses. More beekeepers sell honey on the roadside with beehives, and simply sell fake honey boiled with syrup or starch.
6, I buy honey, first look at whether the honey is thick or not, thick is good honey, not thick is bad honey.
A: Wrong. Thickening is not a criterion for judging truth or falsehood. If you can't tell the truth first, how do you know that the thick honey you bought is good honey? Go to the store to buy a bottle of maltose and open it. Thick and transparent, it is sweet to eat in the mouth, but it is not honey.
7. There are many ways to identify true and false honey online. I think if you learn this, you can buy real honey and good honey.
A: Wrong. Most online methods are unreliable. For example, by drawing pictures to identify true and false, it is true honey that can be drawn into slender silk, not necessarily true. Maltose can be drawn into very long and thin filaments. Some people say that dripping on toilet paper to see how fast it permeates can also identify the true and false, which is not reliable. Maltose permeates slowly. Some people say that smelling the fragrance, real honey has a very pleasant taste, which is not good, and the fragrance can be added.
A slightly more reliable way is to eat the taste of real honey for a long time through the taste, so that you can feel obviously different when you eat fake honey and inferior honey. Moreover, good honey will have a sore throat, because honey contains alkaloids, but syrup does not. In addition, we need to remind everyone that domestic bee products enterprises basically produce concentrated honey, so the identification methods promoted in the market are all promoted by these bee products enterprises, and of course, things that are unfavorable to concentrated honey will not be promoted.
8. The honey I bought is solidified. I heard that honey with sugar is easy to solidify and I dare not drink it.
A: Wrong. This state is more scientifically called crystallization. Crystallization is another form of honey, just like water turns into ice when it is cold. Crystallization does not affect the quality of honey, as long as there are suitable conditions, all honey is crystalline. Only some honey is easy to crystallize, such as linden honey and rape honey, and some honey is difficult to crystallize, such as acacia honey and jujube honey. Crystallized honey, honey with uniform crystallization from top to bottom is good honey, and the crystallization state from bottom to top is a sign of poor honey. Crystallization is not the standard to judge whether honey is true or false.
9. I don't like to eat crystallized honey. I heard that heating will make it melt. Since changing from liquid to crystalline does not affect the quality, changing from crystalline honey to liquid honey will not affect its quality.
A: Wrong. Heating and melting will destroy some active substances in honey and affect the quality of honey. And when honey is drunk with water, it is best to use warm water not exceeding 60 degrees. If the temperature exceeds 60 degrees, it will also destroy the active substances inside. Therefore, crystallized honey is crystallized to drink, and it is best not to melt.
10, the honey bottle label indicates the shelf life of two years. This bottle of honey in my house has been kept for two years. It should have gone bad and can't be eaten.
A: Wrong. Two-year shelf life is the standard required by the state. In fact, there is no shelf life for truly high-quality pure natural honey, and it will be fine for ten or eight years. But be careful not to expose it when storing, and seal it with honey, because the opening will absorb moisture and smell in the air, which will easily lead to deterioration; It is best to use glass bottles, which are not easy to store for a long time and will also affect the quality of honey; The temperature should be lower, preferably below 20 degrees. Most of the honey on the market now is concentrated honey, so the shelf life is correspondingly shorter, according to the standard of two years, but you have honey at home, which expires in just two years, so it's no problem and you can eat it.
It is easier to tell whether it is natural honey or concentrated honey!
1. After natural honey is left for a period of time, a layer of tiny foam will appear on its surface!
2. Pure natural honey is easy to crystallize, and the higher the concentration, the faster the crystallization. Honey sold in the market does not crystallize. Pure natural honey is often misunderstood, but pure natural honey does not crystallize.
3, natural crystalline honey, honey likes to crystallize at the temperature of winter (13- 15 degrees), and the state is lard or particulate. 90% of honey will crystallize (except lemon), and the higher the concentration, the faster the crystallization (except linden honey and rape honey). High-concentration honey will crystallize as a whole, while concentrated honey and blended honey generally will not, and the crystallized honey will gradually melt in hot weather. Crystallization is not necessarily good honey, but honey mixed with sugar will also crystallize. Just grind the crystal with your fingers. If it looks like sugar, it is doped with sugar. If it is ground into powder, it is without sugar. .
