Al-Marsad Newspaper: Despite the many benefits that bee honey provides to public health, there are groups that are prohibited from consuming it due to disease considerations.
Dr. Karim Gamal, a clinical nutrition specialist in Egypt, explained that the groups prohibited from consuming bee honey are:
Children under one year old
Jamal said that bee honey is forbidden for children who have not completed their first year, because their stomachs have great difficulty in digesting the sugars in it, which puts them at risk of colic and bloating.
And he continued, there is another reason why bee honey is harmful to children under one year old, which is that it contains Clostridium, a bacteria that may cause infant poisoning.
Diabetics
He pointed out that bee honey is considered a healthy alternative to white sugar for diabetics, however, it must be consumed in moderation, because excessive consumption may lead to a sharp rise in blood sugar.
Patients allergic to honey
He explained that people who suffer from honey allergy are completely prohibited from consuming bee honey, because it stimulates their immune system and stimulates it to produce histamine, which causes the appearance of an annoying group of symptoms. For information, click here.
People with weak immunity
And according to the “Only myhealth” website, people with weak immune systems, such as the elderly and those with autoimmune diseases, are prohibited from eating bee honey, because their bodies are unable to fight the Clostridium bacteria, which puts them at risk of food poisoning.
