(1) Babies under one year old should not eat honey: honey will contain Botox, which can cause poisoning symptoms of infants, and infants younger than 6 months are more likely to be infected with this disease. Poisoning symptoms often occur 8 to 36 hours after eating honey or food containing honey, and symptoms often include constipation, fatigue and loss of appetite. Although the probability of botulism infection in infants is very small, doctors still suggest that honey and its products should not be given to children until they are 1 year old.
(2) People with diabetes can't take honey. Every 100 grams of honey carbohydrate contains about 35 grams of glucose, 40 grams of fructose, 2 grams of sucrose and about 1 gram of dextrin. Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides, which can be directly absorbed into the blood without digestion after entering the intestine, so that blood sugar is increased, and sucrose and dextrin can be absorbed after a little hydrolysis. Therefore, the effect of honey on raising blood sugar is particularly obvious. From this point of view, diabetics can't take honey.
(3) Patients with liver cirrhosis should not drink honey. Generally speaking, patients with hepatitis B are very suitable for drinking honey, because the monosaccharide provided by honey does not need to be decomposed and synthesized by the liver, which can reduce the burden on the liver, but patients with liver cirrhosis cannot drink honey because it will aggravate the fibrosis of the liver.
