Ms. Wang from Jiangxi asked: My daughter is 18 years old, she used to have dry and bleeding stools, but last year she started eating honey and her stools got better. However, I heard from a friend that eating honey can lead to breast cancer, is this true? A: To answer such a question first let’s understand honey: honey is honey made from nectar harvested by bees from the flowers of flowering plants in the hive. The ancient book has a description of honey: “Shennong Ben Cao Jing” to “stone honey, bee, beeswax” as the top quality, pointed out that “in addition to a hundred diseases, and a hundred medicines” role, and “more to take a long time to take no harm. ” Honey contains a variety of inorganic salts and vitamins similar to human serum concentrations, iron, calcium, copper, manganese, potassium, phosphorus and other organic acids and trace elements that are beneficial to human health, as well as fructose, glucose, amylase, oxidase, reductase, etc. It is nourishing, moistening, detoxifying, whitening, laxative and laxative. The composition of honey is very complex and has been identified with over a hundred substances, and of course honey will contain a small amount of estrogen. Many people will be afraid to say that honey contains estrogen, and that estrogen can lead to breast cancer. In fact, many foods in our life contain estrogen, they are: soy and its products, wheat, black rice, lentils, onions, apples, pomegranates, ginkgo, fennel, sunflower seeds, coffee, flax seeds, cereals, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, onions, wine, peanut butter and many other foods contain trace amounts of estrogen. Does the consumption of all these foods lead to breast cancer? Actually, the amount of estrogen in honey is also very trace. Therefore, drinking honey water does not lead to breast cancer. Moreover, various studies have shown that honey has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-hypertensive, cardiovascular and blood sugar regulating effects, and plays a role in anti-metastatic and anti-proliferative effects in various cancers. Finally, let me tell you some tips to prevent and treat breast cancer: Tip 1: Be in a happy mood. If you are in a good mood, your ovaries will keep ovulating normally and your progesterone will be secreted normally, so your breast will not be enlarged due to the unilateral stimulation of estrogen. The second secret: a healthy diet. Follow a “low-fat, high-fiber” diet, eat more whole grains and vegetables, control animal protein intake, and pay attention to supplementing with appropriate trace elements. Secret 3: Important pregnancy and breastfeeding. Pregnancy makes sufficient progesterone secretion, which can effectively protect and repair the breast, while breastfeeding can make the breast fully developed, and after weaning good degeneration, not easy to increase. The fourth secret: regular checkups and proper exercise. Do a monthly self-examination of the breast and regular mammograms at professional institutions. Secret five: a harmonious sex life. Harmonious sex life can regulate endocrine, stimulate the secretion of progesterone, increase the protection and repair of the breast, orgasm stimulation can also accelerate blood circulation, to avoid breast hyperplasia due to the poor operation of qi and blood.
