As a common drink, mead has no special benefits or effects and can only be used as food to provide the body with carbohydrates and other nutrients. Each 100 grams of honey contains 321 calories, 75 grams of carbohydrates, 0.4 grams of protein, 1.9 grams of fat, and 3 milligrams of vitamin C. Moderate consumption of mead can provide the body with some carbohydrates and energy. However, mead contains alcohol, which is a class 1 carcinogen that can cause cancer in many parts of the mouth, digestive tract, and liver, as well as acute gastric hemorrhage, alcoholic cirrhosis, and other diseases, so mead is not recommended. Alcohol is bad for your health and is not recommended in any form.
