Honey is a very beneficial food substance, but it is important not to exceed the safe dose of this product. Endocrinologist Dr. Natalia Tananakina mentioned the amount of honey that can be consumed daily. She stated, "The safe daily dose of honey for adults is about one to two tablespoons." It is important to choose natural honey without added sugar or other additives. According to the doctor, it is essential to remember that honey and products containing it can cause allergies, as well as being a high-calorie product.
It is noteworthy that when honey is heated to above 40 degrees Celsius, it loses its valuable properties and can form harmful compounds. Its use is prohibited for those who are allergic to bee products, as well as for patients suffering from diabetes and obesity. According to the Russian newspaper "Izvestia," honey is considered one of the most beneficial foods for the immune system. Just two tablespoons of honey provide the human body with all the important vitamins and minerals needed to strengthen the immune system, as honey contains fructose, glucose, maltose, sucrose, and vitamins B, K, and C.
