One teaspoon of honey contains approximately 5-6 grams of sugar. said “Moscow 24” nutritionist Natalya Kruglova.
According to him, based on a safe daily sugar dose of 30 grams, you can eat no more than six teaspoons of honey a day as long as no other sweets are consumed. However, there is no restriction on the duration of use of this product.
“There is a myth that it promotes weight gain, so it should be eaten only in the first half of the day. This is incorrect. Kruglova explained that the overall calorie content of the diet has a greater effect.
The doctor recommends choosing honey that has not undergone heat treatment. The largest amount of nutrients is retained in this product. But children under one year old should not be given such sweets.
“On the one hand, this is due to the allergenicity of the product. On the other hand, botulism can also involve spores. They are unlikely to be present in large numbers, but it is still important for the child. At the same time, their presence in adults will not lead to any clinical symptoms,” concluded the nutritionist.
