Mistakes when using honey affect health

HƯƠNG SƠN (EAT THIS NOT THAT) |

Honey is a natural food source full of nutrients. However, using honey incorrectly or abusing it can be harmful to health.

Using honey for children under 1 year old

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have warned that honey may contain botulinum, a type of bacteria that causes poisoning. Young children's immune systems are not yet developed enough to fight this bacteria, making them at high risk of poisoning.

Honey heated at high temperature

According to research published by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), honey when heated above 60 degrees Celsius can create Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a substance that is believed to be harmful to cells. Using heated honey can have negative effects on the digestive system and long-term health.

Consume more than recommended amount

WHO has recommended that the recommended intake of natural sugars (including honey) should not exceed 10% of total daily calories to avoid the risk of overweight, obesity and diabetes. Excessive consumption of honey can lead to high blood sugar levels, which is harmful to the heart and general health.

Using fake, poor quality honey

Reports from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have shown that some honey on the market is adulterated with chemical sugars or preservatives, which are harmful to health. Buying honey from unreliable sources can lead to the risk of consuming poor quality products.

Honey has many benefits if used properly. However, mistakes in its use can be dangerous to health. Raising awareness and following the recommendations of reputable health organizations are essential to protect the health of yourself and your family.
