They eat frozen honey as a Tik Tok challenge, and specialists raise an alert

A new trend has arrived on TikTok, the Frozen Honey. Users should freeze the honey in a plastic bottle and ingest it the next day.

The creator of this challenge was Daveyrz, a tiktoker with over 5.5 million followers who makes videos with slimy substances. He decided to try something new and freeze a bottle of honey.

In his TikTok video, he squeezes the frozen bottle and takes a bite of the honey, which is shaped like a viscous toothpaste. Later, the tiktoker continued to add honey dyes to achieve different shades of color.

Millions of users have already joined this challenge, but without knowing the consequences that this could entail. Eating large amounts of honey could have many negative effects such as diarrhea, upset stomach, and dental problems due to the excess sugar.

This was explained by dietitian Sarah Rueven to the New York Times. “When you eat something that is so high in sugar, you’re going to have an equally high insulin response,” Rueven added.
