Who is not suitable for drinking honey?

First, diabetics: Many people regard honey as a substitute for sugar. In fact, the main component of honey is sugar, but the main component of white sugar and rock sugar we usually eat is sucrose, and the sugar contained in honey is mainly glucose and fructose. Glucose in honey can even be directly absorbed and utilized by the human body, which makes blood sugar rise rapidly, so diabetics should try not to drink honey water.

Second, babies under one year old: too young children are not suitable for drinking honey because their stomachs are still fragile. Once fructose intolerance occurs, it is easy to have symptoms such as diarrhea. In addition, a lot of honey is easy to be mixed with some microorganisms or bacteria. For the baby's immature digestive system and imperfect immune system, honey is not a good food. In addition, if children always like to eat honey, they may have bad eating habits like sweets.

Third, patients with liver cirrhosis: Although patients with liver disease are generally suitable for drinking honey, because the main sugar in honey belongs to monosaccharide, and monosaccharide can be directly absorbed, the liver does not need to participate in decomposition and synthesis. But patients with liver cirrhosis had better avoid it, because honey may aggravate liver fibrosis.
