 Eating royal jelly has the risk of allergy, and this miraculous "effect" lacks scientific basis

吃蜂王浆有过敏风险 神奇“功效”缺乏科学依据

  Royal jelly, bee pollen, propolis, honey and other bee related health products and foods are regarded as "pure natural" health products by many people.

  It is said that after meals, it can cure diseases, enhance sexual function, fight against aging and cancer.

  However, these "effects" lack scientific evidence, which is actually not obvious, but these products have potential risks such as allergy, which can seriously endanger life.

  Young people under 25 should not eat royal jelly casually.

  Bee pollen comes from flowers and is the powder brought back by bees when they collect honey.

  In recent years, bee pollen has become the star of "healthy food". The merchants claim that bee pollen is "omnipotent nutrient food", "diluted artificial medicine bank", "externally applied cosmetics", etc. They say that it contains a variety of essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals for the human body, as well as a variety of enzymes and coenzymes several times more than other foods. It can cure dozens of diseases, resist aging, enhance mobility and sexual ability, and also reduce weight, fight infection Anti allergy, anti-cancer

  However, there is no mystery about the nutrient composition of bee pollen, and some cheap general foods also contain a lot of nutrients;

  Bee pollen does not contain so many enzymes, and these enzymes will be digested after being eaten into the human body, and will not play the role of metabolic regulation of enzymes;

  The various "effects" of bee pollen also lack scientific basis. Several studies have not found that bee pollen has an impact on the competitive status of swimmers and long-distance runners.

  Royal jelly is the product secreted by the salivary glands of worker bees and the food of bee larvae. The queen bee responsible for laying eggs has been feeding on it since childhood, so it is named.

  Royal jelly is also described by businesses as a health product with "special nutrition", which can provide "special energy" and has therapeutic effect on many diseases.

  These statements are wrong, because although bee pollen and royal jelly contain antibiotic like substances, they actually do not have the effect of antibiotics after consumption.

  On the other hand, royal jelly and bee pollen are potentially dangerous to human body and can cause allergic reaction.

  Some people are allergic to pollen such as ragweed, dandelion, sunflower and chrysanthemum.

  Asthma, urticaria and anaphylactic shock may be fatal after consumption of relevant bee pollen or royal jelly.

  Of course, people often exposed to these allergens may desensitize, but the probability is very small.

  The amount of bee pollen ingested through the digestive tract is uncontrollable, and "desensitization" is unreliable.

  Propolis is a kind of resin like brown or purple substance, which is mainly used by bees to build honeycombs.

  According to "Baidu Encyclopedia", propolis "has a flat nature, bitter, pungent and slightly sweet taste, has the effect of moistening the skin, promoting muscle growth, diminishing inflammation and relieving pain, and can treat stomach ulcers, oral ulcers, burns, skin cracking pain and other diseases".

  The propolis industry has a variety of antibacterial and anti-tumor properties. However, propolis is not useful in practical combination therapy, but it can directly lead to allergic reactions, such as contact dermatitis after touching the skin.

  As for honey, it is an information safe food on the whole. However, it also has many potential adverse effects on the lives of some patients with allergies, diabetes, anticoagulants, etc.

  Bees in the wild will be exposed to various other pathogenic bacteria and chemical environmental pollutants, and related technical products may also be polluted during processing.

  Thousands of bottles of bee pollen, royal jelly and propolis mixed by a natural green food company in Montana, USA, or were recalled due to the detection of excessive heavy metal lead.

  According to the data of the World Health Organization, children and adults should keep their "free sugar" intake below 10% of their total energy intake, including honey.

  Teenagers under 25 years old, especially minors, should not eat royal jelly at will. Honey containing royal jelly should also be eaten carefully.
