Well, I'm glad I know that now. It doesnt mean that I shouldn't ingest honey while pregnant, right?

I just looked on babycenter, it says:
"Yes, it is safe to eat honey during pregnancy. Honey poses a risk to infants under 1 year old because it may contain spores of bacteria that cause botulism. Botulism bacteria thrive in areas with low acidity. In infants, these spores can survive and cause disease because the acidity of a baby’s digestive tract is not high enough to destroy the spores. The acidity of an adult digestive tract is high enough to kill the spores, so a pregnant woman who eats honey is not putting her baby at any risk."
But the other two say to make sure its pasteurized. Of course the kind that I have isn't xP Either way I don't think it'll hurt the baby, just make me sick, which I have a feeling I am anyway lol
