What happens if you drink spoiled honey

Honey is one of the most popular products sold on the market. It has certain effects on some aspects of physical health and is a health food. I believe that the honey many people buy is the processed honey sold on the market, which has a certain shelf life. So what effects will it have on your body if you accidentally drink spoiled honey? Let’s take a look at the dangers of drinking spoiled honey.

What are the characteristics of honey after it goes bad?

1. There will be a taste of alcohol fermentation and sourness

When honey goes bad, alcohol is produced, so it has the taste of alcohol fermentation. It also has a sour taste because acetic acid is produced when honey ferments.

2. A large number of bubbles will appear

When the quality of honey is good, many small bubbles will appear on the surface, but when it deteriorates, large bubbles will appear. And there will be a long flat phenomenon.

3. Honey starts to become thinner

Honey will become thinner after it goes bad, because the sugar in the honey begins to decompose and water is produced, so the honey will become thinner and thinner.

Can you still eat honey if it's spoiled?

1. Honey can still be eaten after it deteriorates, because the sugar in honey will produce a substance that is extremely harmful to the human body after it deteriorates. It can especially cause great damage to the liver and stomach. Not only will you not absorb the proper nutrients after eating it, but it will also affect your health.

2. Honey spoilage and expiration are different concepts. We must distinguish them clearly. Honey spoilage means that its properties have changed. For example, its taste becomes sour and its texture becomes thinner, etc. These are important manifestations of honey spoilage. In addition, some honeys produce a large number of bubbles after becoming thinner, which is also an important manifestation of honey spoilage. Honey in these situations must not be eaten anymore.

3. If the honey has only exceeded the shelf life stated on the package and its shape has not changed much, this means that the honey has not deteriorated and people can continue to eat it without causing any harm to the body. If you feel that it has exceeded its shelf life and is unsafe to eat, you can also make this honey into a facial mask and use it. Its beauty benefits will not be discounted.

Honey can no longer be eaten after it has gone bad!

The reason why honey goes bad is that bacteria and air enter the honey and multiply in the honey. At this time, the yeast in the honey also begins to increase. People may have diarrhea after eating it, and it is not good for the stomach and liver. Therefore, it is not recommended to eat it.
