Botulism spores are tough to kill (even with heat) and given the immature immune system in babies, I wouldn't risk it. Hi Greta,

I am interested in making my own baby food. Is it safe to give a baby honey that has been cooked, as in this recipe? Ellie Krieger’s honey roasted sweet potatoe recipe sounds delicious.

So if you have high cholesterol, honey wouldn't be good for you. My sister reseached honey and found that it rises your triglycerides, which is associated to cholesterol.

I use it in hot beverages, in bran muffins, and anywhere sugar is called for. My surgeon suggests it in place of sugar because it has great benefits for healing! Love it!!!!!!!!!!

It is dark and a mild honey. I like it better than any, however not always available in all regions of USA. If you live in Florida or that region, try Palmetto honey! It is dark and a mild honey.

I've tried all those acne gels and they don't have near the amazing and noticable results as just using a little dab of honey. Makes sense though since it's a natural antibacterial. My teenager was ecstatic with the results when I told her to try it and I've tried it on those little hard hurtful zits too.

It seems to work just as well as OTC medicines. I use honey as a remedy for sore throats and coughs. It seems to work just as well as OTC medicines.
