Honey is generally not recommended for children under the age of 1 because it is most likely to have botulism in storage and transport. Botulism is very toxic and can easily lead to neurological problems and in severe cases, paralysis and lead to poisoning. This is why honey is generally not recommended for children under 1 year old. There is also the fact that the estrogen level of honey cannot be controlled, and high levels of estrogen can lead to precocious puberty in children, or changes in hormone levels affecting hormone function, and it is not recommended for children under 1 year old to eat it. Honey is also not recommended in large quantities during the growth and development of children. Generally older teens and up can use it as well as adults. Therefore, honey is not recommended for children under 1 year of age. For children over 1 year of age, it can be taken in small amounts when needed and is not recommended in large amounts because honey is very sweet and can have an effect on the child’s teeth.
