Hi 露比媽咪,
懷孕中的媽媽可不可以吃蜂蜜，這問題我之前也問過相關的業者喔！
其中Api牌給我的回答我覺得比較可以接納，他們是跟我說，蜂蜜對於懷孕中的婦女是不會有什麼不良的影響的，當然對胎兒也是一樣的，只是對於懷孕的媽媽，他們會建議一天大約兩匙的量就足夠了。
他們還有提供美國對於蜂蜜的相關研究報告給我看喔！
Can pregnant women consume Active Manuka Honey?
懷孕中或哺乳中的婦女可以吃蜂蜜嗎?
According to the National Honey Board it is safe for pregnant or nursing women to consume honey. There is no evidence that the honey consumed by pregnant women could affect the unborn child.
根據國家蜂蜜委員會National Honey Board的資料顯示，懷孕或哺乳期的婦女食用蜂蜜是安全的。
Honey is not a problem for mom to eat. The gut flora of adults and children over a year old are able to fend off the botulism spores that may be present in honey, and render them harmless. Since the spores would be killed in your gastrointestinal tract, they would not make it into your bloodstream and therefore cannot be present in your milk.
一般認為，由於蜂蜜中可能含有肉毒桿菌孢子，不應給一歲以下的嬰兒吃，因此懷孕中或哺乳期的婦女也不應食用，這個觀念是有待改變的。因為凡是一歲以上的孩子及成人，身體的消化系統都可以消化處理肉毒桿菌孢子，這些肉毒桿菌孢子不會在成人的酸性消化道中萌生，因此不會進入胎兒或母乳中。
A baby's gut can't defend itself against the botulism spores, and so they can colonize the intestinal tract, germinate and release botulinum neurotoxin. As a result, honey is not recommended for babies under a year old. It's recommended that you avoid giving baby anything that contains honey, or make sure that the cooking process kills any botulism spores that might be present. To kill botulism spores, the food must be cooked at 240 degrees Fahrenheit (this requires a pressure cooker) for at least 15 minutes. Botulism spores are very heat resistant - it takes more than six hours of boiling at 212 degrees Fahrenheit to kill the spores. The toxin is less resistant - boiling foods (at 212 degrees Fahrenheit) for 10 minutes will destroy the toxin.
然而，嬰兒的腸道尚未成熟，無法抵禦肉毒桿菌孢子，這些孢子可能留在腸道中萌生，進而釋放神經毒素，因此，不要給一歲以下的嬰兒任何蜂蜜製品，或者要確定在烹調這些蜂蜜製品的時候確實殺菌。肉毒桿菌孢子相當耐高溫，含肉毒桿菌孢子的食物，要在至少240度F(116度C)的高溫下(需要用壓力鍋)煮至少15分鐘才能將其消滅。肉毒桿菌毒素則需要在212度的溫度下煮10分鐘才能消毒。
