Will eating honey generally cause children to mature early?

As children grow up, we always give them appropriate nutritional supplements. Honey is a common one. It not only regulates the gastrointestinal function of children, but also provides the various nutrients needed by children. However, many people say that children will have precocious puberty if they eat honey. Is this statement correct? We will now mainly understand it through the following text, starting with understanding the nutritional components of honey.

Honey generally contains only trace amounts of vitamins, including vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin K, niacin, pantothenic acid, folic acid, biotin, choline, etc. Among the nitrogen-containing compounds, there are proteins, peptones, amino acids, etc. It also contains enzymes such as invertase, catalase, amylase, oxidase, reductase, and acetylcholine. The ash mainly contains magnesium, calcium, potassium, sodium, sulfur, phosphorus, and trace elements such as iron, copper, manganese, and nickel. Organic acids contain citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, acetic acid, formic acid, etc.

Pollen does contain plant hormones, but qualified honey does not contain hormones, so there is no scientific basis for the claim that eating honey will cause precocious puberty in children. On the contrary, it is good for older children to drink some honey water every day. It should be noted that honey water is not suitable for young babies, because some honey can contain botulinum toxin, which can produce highly toxic botulinum toxin. The intestinal barrier function of infants is poor, and endotoxins can enter the blood through the intestinal wall and cause poisoning in infants.

When babies drink honey, they should be controlled. There are two reasons. One is that today's honey brewers neglect hygiene, which causes various bacteria to invade the honey. Therefore, it is better for babies under one year old not to drink honey. After one year old, the baby's intestinal flora is established and it will be safer to eat honey, but the amount of food intake should be controlled to avoid excessive intake of estrogen.

Through the above introduction, everyone can see that eating honey will not cause precocious puberty in children. However, no matter what kind of food it is, it should not be given to children frequently, let alone too much. In children's nutrition, we must ensure that the nutrition is comprehensive and the diet is rich. Try to feed children a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits so that children do not get insufficient nutrition.
