Virtal TikTok #FrozenHoney Challenge Could Result in Diarrhea
Another day, another viral TikTok trend.
The latest trend on the social media platform is called the #frozenhoney challenge, but some experts are waring that it’s not healthy- or safe.
For the fad, TikTokers take videos of themselves putting honey in an empty bottle, freezing it and then pushing the jelly out of the bottle to eat. Sounds harmless, right?
Dana Hunnes tells USA TODAY that the trend isn’t great, due to the high sugar and carbo combo in honey. It can even make you sick.
“Depending on how much you’re taking in at one time, it could make you sick because it would pull so much water into the digestive tract that you could have diarrhea,” Hunnes, a professor at the University of California’s Los Angeles Fielding School of Public Health, told USA TODAY.
Ewwww!
