How Much Honey Can You Eat Per Day: Doctor's Answer
What adult or child would refuse honey?
Still, it is a tasty treat that perfectly complements desserts, teas, or even some cereals. However, it is worth remembering that this product also contains sugar, which means that honey should be added to the diet with caution.
Adults should not consume more than six teaspoons of honey per day.
Natalia Kruglova made this statement in a conversation with representatives of the publication “ Moscow 24 ”.
She noted that each teaspoon contains about 5-6 grams of sugar. Therefore, such a delicacy can be eaten if there are no other sweets in the diet.
Kruglova noted that honey that has not undergone heat treatment can be included in the diet. In this case, the product will contain more nutrients.
The specialist said that not everyone can eat such a treat.
For example, babies under one year old should not be given honey.
Here we are not only talking about the allergenicity of the product, but also it is necessary to take into account that it may contain botulism spores. They may be in small quantities, but for the child's body it is still noticeable.
