– Madness
However, several TikTok users report according to NBC News that they have felt bad after eating honey in large quantities. Now experts are warning against the trend.
– Honey is great, and eating it in small amounts as a sweetener is a healthy relationship with food, but using it to get a lot of followers and a lot of attention and eat it in excess is crazy, says Kristin Kirkpatrick, a registered diet expert at a clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, to NBC News.
“Should have taken the damn vaccine”
Good for health
TikTok users should therefore think twice before emptying whole bottles of frozen honey, experts warn, according to the channel. Large amounts of honey can cause diarrhea, stomach cramps, bloating and other side effects.
Small amounts can still be good for health. Among other things, a glass of warm milk with honey before bedtime can be good for both the psyche and sleep. Because this is not just a myth – according to research, it should work.
Nutritionally, honey is equivalent to sugar in terms of energy supply, and also has the same adverse effect on dental health, writes Large Norwegian encyclopedia. However, the high content of fructose in honey means that you get a smoother and more stable blood sugar content when ingested than when consuming sugar.
