With its slight laxative effect, honey prevents constipation. And being a body sedative, it promotes abundant, sound, refreshing sleep. The easy absorbability of the proteins, minerals, and vitamins in honey enable the developing infant to build a healthy nervous system, prevent it from becoming a fussy baby. Honey is the outstanding natural sweet to use in infant feeding. Tolerated by most babies, it furnishes the baby with a sweet, minerals supplementing those found in milk, a small amount of protein, an antiseptic, and a mild laxative. The minerals found in honey provide the infant with part of the needs of a growing body. They include copper, iron, silicon, manganese, calcium, chlorine, sodium, potassium, sulphur, phosphorus, and magnesium. The following findings by Drs. The 35-40 million kilos of honey produced by our cooperative is what makes up the Forever Bee Honey you see on the shelf. Schultz and Knott of the Department of Pediatrics of Chicago University on the value of honey in infant feeding are of great interest: “Honey is quickly taken into the body because of its dextrose content, while the levulose, being somewhat more slowly absorbed, is able to maintain the blood sugar.

Honey has the advantage over sugars which contain higher levels of dextrose, since it does not cause the blood sugar to rise to higher levels than can be easily cared for by the body. With its easy and widespread availability, palatability and digestibility, honey would seem to be a form of carbohydrate which should have wider use in infant feeding.” The doctors studied the influence of honey added to the diet of ten healthy infants during the first six months of their lives. They studied the value of honey as compared to other formula sweeteners, using the general well-being of the infants, the number of stools per day, and the weight gains as their criteria. Forever Royal Jelly consists of an emulsion of proteins, sugars, lipids and some other substances in a water base.
They found that honey does not cause diarrhea. Another reason honey is beneficial in the child’s diet: it helps preserve the calcium in the feeding formula.

Three Chicago doctors, E. M. Knott, Ph.D., C. F. Shuckers, M.D., and F. W. Schultz, M.D., reported in the Journal of Pediatrics an experiment that showed honey to be a preserver of calcium superior to the commonly used corn syrup. They tested the infants each day for calcium retention by the feeding of the two types of carbohydrates under comparable conditions. The doctors found that the average retention of calcium was always higher with a honey-sweetened formula than one sweetened with corn syrup. To cut down the fretfulness of a young child who is cutting teeth, the sedative effect of honey is valuable. Pain brings on a higher blood-phosphorus level in the child’s body. Honey lowers this phosphorus level and replaces it with sleep-inducing calcium. Give a child less than one year old only one fourth of a teaspoonful of honey at bedtime, following this with a little drink of water.
