If someone eats such honey, there will be symptoms of poisoning such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. Feeding it to bees is easy to kill honey.
If honey is kept in an aluminum container for a long time, the acidic substances in honey can dissolve aluminum. If people eat this honey for a long time, it is easy to cause diseases. After studying the behavior of animals, experts found that aluminum can significantly reduce the contents of norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin in the brain, reduce the ability of learning and memory, and even cause "Alzheimer's disease" and "mental retardation". It is further confirmed that aluminum can also change the histochemical activities of enzymes in liver cells and proximal tubules of kidney, resulting in changes in the activities of succinate dehydrogenase and adenosine triphosphatase, which play an important role in metabolism, thus seriously interfering with the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Ultrastructural observation also confirmed that aluminum can cause the rupture, dissolution and collapse of mitochondrial cristae in liver and kidney cells.
Therefore, non-metallic materials such as glass bottles, wooden barrels and crocks should be used for honey containers, and metal containers such as iron, lead, zinc and aluminum should not be used. If metal containers must be used for transportation, plastic or coating should be sprayed on the inner wall of the container to prevent the honey from directly contacting with the metal containers, so as to ensure the quality of honey and human health.
