honey toxic/poisonous when baked?

Question

a woman who is vegan once told me that honey is toxic/poisonous when
baked, i have never heard this, and i am a chef. not to mention, i
have ate many honey cakes and other pastry items with honey in them
and have lived to tell, what is the basis for this claim, or is she
just full of it?

Answer 1

My partner is a Beekeeper in South GA & she was raised a vegatarian and still is one,,, and her mother always cooked with honey!!! Noone in her family has died from it yet!!!
Her dad uses the honey to make baked granola & that is some good stuff~!
not sure why that person told you it was toxic

Answer 2

The only thing I have ever been told about Honey is that is poisonous to children under the age of 2 years old.

Answer 3

Honey is sugar. And does baked sugar kill you? Nope...She is just full of it. I have a recipe that my great-grandmother gave me and it uses honey instead of granulated sugar. She lived to be 102 years old. I don't think that is what killed her. To a vegan, meat is toxic. But, there are some varieties of bee honey you do not want to consume. What you buy in the market is safe for human consumption. No need to worry.

Answer 5

I've baked with honey, and never heard this. Honey can be fatal with babies because their bodies can't break down the bacteria. Other than that, honey is fine.

Answer 6

I use honey in baking, too and my family and I are still alive.

I have also heard not to give it to children under the age of 1 but other than that, it is fine.

Answer 7

Some nectars are poisonous to humans but not to bees, so the resultant honey would be toxic.

However, honey made for human consumption is never made from any of those nectars.

Answer 8

i know honey can be dangerous to babies.

Bu cooked? i still don't think so, but i got about 718, 000 hits for this on google, so some people think cooked honey is dangerous.


I think you should call or email one of the companies that produces/bottles honey.
