Honey is the bee product most familiar to human beings. It is produced by honeybees collecting nectar from the flowers of plants and returning them to their nests. Its color and aroma properties vary according to the nature of the collected flowers, seasons, and regions. It contains more than 60 kinds of inorganic and organic substances, glucose, fructose, enzyme values, proteins and 18 kinds of amino acids.
Honey, sweet, delicious, nutritious, uniform, ruddy complexion, relieve fatigue, nourishing yin and impotence, modern medicine can be used to treat heart, liver, spleen, kidney, lung, intestine and other organ diseases. External use can treat burns, frostbite, and nourish the skin.
However, at present, three people are considered unfit for drinking honey.
1. Children under one year old should not eat honey:
Honey is rich in nutrients and is a popular food. Many new mothers also add some honey to the complementary foods of infants to regulate their taste and increase their nutritional value. However, experts pointed out that infants and young children under 1 year old are not suitable for eating honey.
In the process of brewing and transporting honey, it is susceptible to contamination by Botox, because the bees may take pollen and honey contaminated by Clostridium botulinum to the beehive during the pollen process. The botulinum spores are highly adaptable and can survive at high temperatures of 100°C.
Due to the weaker gastrointestinal function of the infant, the detoxification function of the liver is also poor, especially in infants younger than 6 months. Botox is prone to multiply in the intestine and produces toxins, causing poisoning.
Symptoms of poisoning often occur 8 to 36 hours after eating honey or containing honey. Symptoms often include constipation, fatigue, and loss of appetite. Although the chance of botulinum infection in infants is very small, doctors still recommend that you do not give him honey and its products until the child is over 1 year old.
In addition, experts also reminded that infants and young children over the age of 1 should also be careful when drinking honey, and the amount of food should be reduced as compared with adults.
2, diabetics can not take honey:
Each hectogram of honey carbohydrate has about 35 grams of glucose, about 40 grams of fructose, about 2 grams of sucrose, and about 1 gram of dextrin.
Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides, enter the intestine without digestion can be directly absorbed into the blood, so that blood sugar, sucrose and dextrin can be absorbed after slightly hydrolyzed, therefore, honey's glycemic effect is particularly evident. From this point of view, people with diabetes cannot take honey.
3, liver cirrhosis patients can not drink honey:
In general, hepatitis B patients are very suitable for drinking honey, because the monosaccharide provided by honey does not require decomposition and synthesis of the liver, can reduce the burden on the liver, but patients with liver cirrhosis can not drink honey, because it will increase liver fibrosis.
Note: Cold medicine is easy to fight with honey

Many cold medicines, such as Tylenol, crack, fluocin, cold, etc., contain antipyretic analgesic acetaminophen. When it encounters honey, it forms a complex that affects the body's absorption rate. Reduce fever.
In the same way, all proprietary Chinese medicines containing honey, such as cough syrup and Chuanbei tincture, should not be taken along with the above-mentioned cold medicine.
In addition, honey mainly through the lungs to achieve antitussive effect, cold caused by cough caused by more than exogenous, not tonic, it is best not to drink honey.
