I published the magical health care of honey on 2017-6-21? , comment on a video titled "The Magical Health Care of Honey". Although the title of the video is "health care", Dr. Jiang Shoushan in it is talking about "medical effects" (Note: It is legally not allowed to claim that health care products have medical effects). What's worse is that the six medical effects he said are all contrary to scientific evidence.

Reader Gordon asked in the response column of this article on 2023-8-12 whether honey cannot be heated. The article he attached was posted on Heho website on March 13, 2021, Why can't honey be heated? Research: Honey heating will increase "Radical methylfurfural"! .

This article is actually recommending a book titled "Honey Rehabilitation Laboratory: Herbal Honey Self-Transformation Methods for Herbal Honey", and the author of the original English work of this book is Dawn Combs. In fact, the author of Heho's article is Dawn Combs.

The first chapter title of this article is "Why can't you heat honey?", and the passage inside is: "Ayurvedic medicine believes that adding honey to more than 40° C will produce toxicity, which is what is called "abortion" (ama) - it will attach to the mucosa and become a glue in a similar body. Ayurvedic master Charaka wrote more than 500 years ago: "It is the most irritating thing to do if you don't take honey and cause poisoning." 'In this medical system, the heated honey is seen as one of the most difficult to excrete the body. ”

Anyone with a little scientific training should be able to see the two problems in this paragraph immediately. First, Ayurveda is an ancient medicine in India, and there are many strange prescriptions and techniques in it. Even doctors in India think it will harm their health. Please read my

rinsing mouth with oil? Detox?

Liver cervical stone removal method? The magical liver stone removal method is recommended by Wang Kangyu, Jiang Shuhui, Mei Xiangyang, Euro Ying, Weng Xiangchun, Second, Ayurvedic medicine has no possibility of any possibility of heating honey more than 40° C will be toxic because the temperature unit of the celsius was created in 1742 (the inventor was Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius).

As for the article "You must not heat honey" mentioned in this article, Clemson University in the United States published All about honey (all about honey), and it taught people how to use honey to replace sucrose when baking. Internationally renowned chef Martha Stewart also posted on 2022-10-29 How to Replace Sugar With Honey, Maple Syrup, and Other Unrefined Sweeteners in Baking. From this we can see that what Dawn Combs said is "You must not heat honey" is completely nonsense.

Heho The second chapter title of this article is "Heat honey to destroy nutrients, which will also cause 'Rhythmic methyl furfural' to rise", and the few sentences in it are: "Heat a solution with a main ingredient (such as honey) to produce 5-Rhythmic methyl furfural (HM) F), …… Why should we care about the number of methylfurfural? According to current research, methylfurfural may be a carcinogen. The experiment in white mice brought alarms that the dose of methylfurfural needed to produce toxicity and carcinogenic effects is likely to be far lower than expected. ”

HMF It will naturally form in sugary foods and drinks (including coffee, bread, beer, juice) over time, and under high temperature and acid conditions, its formation will accelerate. In other words, HMF does not only occur when honey is heated. Please see The role of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in food and recent advances in analytical methods published in 2022.

The impact of HMF on health is still only some laboratory research data, and some are positive and some are negative. The following article even describes HMF as a nutrient. 2021: Dose- and Sex-Dependent Changes in Hemoglobin Oxygen Affinity by the Micronutrient 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural and α-Ketoglutaric Acid (Doing and Sex-Dependent Changes in Hemoglobin Oxygen Affinity by the Micronutrient 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural and α-Ketoglutaric Acid (Doing and Sex-Dependent Changes in Hemoglobin Oxygen Affinity by the Micronutrient 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural and α-Ketoglutaric Acid dose and gender dependence on blood red protein oxygen and dysfunction).

The Taiwan Food and Drug Administration posted on May 12, 2020 that honey heats more than 40 degrees C will be toxic. Is this true? , one of the paragraphs is: "There is no clinical trial to prove that HMF is toxic to humans. It is toxic to "honey heats exceeding 40 degrees C". Without a clear scientific argument, we should be cautious and cautious, and do not easily believe it easily."

Heho This article was published 10 months later than this article by the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration, and it also provides links. In other words, Heho knew that "heating honey more than 40°C will produce toxicity" was a lack of scientific evidence, but he still chose to publish such misinformation, or recommended such a book of illegitimate science. It is obvious that the consequences of profit are nothing to say. (Note: I have published many articles criticizing Heho, please search and browse by yourself)
