Miel en dieta paleolítica
La miel se ha apreciado como un alimento desde el comienzo de la historia, e indudablemente desde mucho antes.
Cuando se usa tópicamente para tratar quemaduras, por lo general la miel se aplica ya sea directamente en la herida en una capa delgada, o en forma de un vendaje remojado en miel.
Las dosis orales de miel para propósitos medicinales varían de 1 a 5 cucharadas soperas varias veces diariamente.
Como un alimento ampliamente consumido, se cree que la miel es bastante segura. Sin embargo, los bebés menores de 12 meses no es aconsejable que consuman miel, a causa del riesgo de botulismo infantil.
La miel puede contener cantidades ligeras de polen. Sin embargo, parece que la alergia a la miel es poco común entre personas alérgicas al polen.
