Manuka Honey

[janet88]

emerald:

Thanks janet_lee88.


Any idea if this honey is suitable for pregnant mom?

TIA.

I am not too sure about pregnant women though...some doctors do not encourage babies/kids below 6 to take honey. But manuka is not ordinary honey. Sorry cant help.

The promoter for HNZ said to take a teaspoon every morn on empty stomach and then drink a little water after that. This way, it does not dilute the manuka.

Pregnant women can take honey. But do not give children less than 1 year old due to fear of child botulism. Cos honey might contain the botulism spores, which is found in nature, will grow in the intestine and release in botulism toxin. Cos the infant stomach not strong enough to inhibit the spores from growing so dont give to infant. Try to wait longer to give infant lah. 1 year is average but all individual unique. so dont give so soon lah. Botulism can be serious.


Adult stomach strong, so no prob. can eat including pregnant lady.

i notice 1 difference abt manuka and normal honey… i put them both outside on different location in kitchen… within 1 day… the normal honey attracts ants… but manuka is cleared from ants… why huh?? DH said cos of the antibacteria thingy in manuka… but when u eat both are sweet honey… how come ants dont go to manuka… then i tested, leave only manuka outside… take away the normal honey… still i find only 1 ant circling it… but not onto it… anyone can explain… just curious…

could it be cos the manuka bottle has a better seal/cover?
