Yes exactly. This is an interesting finding that warrants more research, but high concentration in a Petri dish does not reflect what happens in the body.

I have a rule of thumb. If experts and doctors recommend pregnant woman to not eat or drink anything, it's probably better to stay away from it.

Yeah, I'm probably not going to stay away from honey.

There's no recommendation against honey for pregnant women, only for infants. There's some concerns about bad quality honey from unknown sources though. So as long as you eat the good stuff..

Ah, I might be misremembering that. Thanks.

I have some pretty local sources for (afaik) pretty good honey that I like.
