Peninsula Metropolitan News May 3 (Reporter Jing Yi) In recent days, a message that “6-year-old girls drink honey out of their precocious puberty every day” has spread online, causing many netizens to worry about containing estrogen in honey. However, according to several experts, the level of sex hormones in bee products is minimal, lower than many common foods, and it is not directly related to precocious puberty in children.

According to online news, I heard that a cup of honey water can improve my body every day. A mother would give her 6-year-old daughter a cup of honey water every morning and bring it to school to drink. I heard that royal jelly was more effective in honey and she also got royal jelly. Can be drunk for three months, and her daughter's breasts actually developed into "little buns." She quickly brought her daughter to the hospital. The doctor diagnosed as false precocious puberty, the incentive may be due to long-term drinking honey water. Fortunately, after a month of treatment, the symptoms improved significantly. "Honey and royal jelly have hormones and should not be given to children. They will lead to precocious puberty!" The news quickly spread online, and some parents also forwarded to parents, causing parents' concerns.

Is this really the case? Nutrition and food safety expert Ji Guangfeng said that the most important ingredient in honey is sugar, which accounts for more than 80% of the total, followed by water, with less than 1% of other ingredients. No reports of animal sex hormones have been detected in honey and pollen. Because pollen does contain phytohormone components, honey may contain a small amount of plant hormones, but these components are very different from the hormones in animals. Plant hormones do not have the same effect on animal hormones.

According to Dr. Zhong Kai, the National Food Safety Risk Assessment Center, all animal products have a very small amount of hormones. However, in fact, honey and other bee products contain much lower levels of hormones than eggs. Yang Hong, director of nutrition department at Haici Hospital, also said that clinical studies have found that food is not the main reason for precocious puberty, and honey is not directly related to precocious puberty in children.

Does the royal jelly have a "ripening" effect? ​​Que Guangfeng said that the composition of the "maturation" bees of royal jelly is not a sex hormone, but an active protein called "Royalactin". When people take royal jelly orally, the protein will be digested and cannot remain active, so there is no need to worry about its effects on the human body. The test found that trace amounts of sex hormones did exist in royal jelly, but its content was too low to affect human physiology.

Director Yang Hong said that as long as it is not eating excessive royal jelly, it will generally not cause harm to the human body. However, since the active substances in royal jelly are more than ordinary honey, infants and pregnant women must be used with caution.

Yan Guangfeng said that the only thing that should be guarded against food choices is obesity caused by eating too much food. Studies have found that overweight may affect precocious puberty.
