I am often asked by kidney patients whether it is okay to consume honey for kidney patients. There are a lot of misconceptions about eating honey, and a lot of good honey loses its tonic value due to unreasonable storage. The so-called honey is actually the bee from the plant flowers to take about 75% of the water content of the nectar or secretions, deposited in their second stomach, in the body under the role of a variety of transformation, after about 15 days of repeated brewing of various vitamins, minerals and amino acids rich to a certain value, while the polysaccharides in the nectar into the body can directly absorb the monosaccharide glucose, fructose, water content of less than 23% stored The honey is stored in the nest hole and sealed with beeswax. The main component of honey is a supersaturated solution of sugar, which will crystallize at low temperatures, the crystalline part being glucose and the non-crystalline part being fructose. For most kidney patients, unless they are allergic to honey or have abnormal sugar metabolism, they can consume honey normally. However, many people have more misconceptions about the process of consuming honey. Key Points 1. Honey needs to be taken with warm water and not boiling water. 2, honey can be used to treat children’s cough drops, but babies should not be exposed to honey. 3, drinking honey can be laxative in fact you are intolerant to fructose and can no longer use it for laxative purposes. 4, honey surface fine froth is a good thing, that honey contains enzymes rich and began to have activity, not only can drink, and good quality! But if the foam is coarse and smells like wine it suggests it has gone bad. 5, honey mainly consists of 65%-80% glucose and fructose two natural monosaccharides, and glucose will crystallize, fructose will not crystallize. You can tell the quality of honey by the amount of crystallization you get, you know! 6. Honey should not be kept in the refrigerator. The honey will be stored in the refrigerator and will crystallize and precipitate glucose. This not only affects the taste, but also makes people mistakenly believe that the honey is bad.
