 People to this day feed their infants honey, and they die. It is still not 
 universally accepted that the bacteria in honey is deadly to infants who 
 cannot digest it, although it is harmless to adults. My MIL, didn't know 
 that, my own mother either, I knew for some odd reason though, read it 
 somewhere before having children. Thank goodness.
 
 And as for the learning experience, thank you too!

    I think the information is getting pretty wide-spread these days, 
though--I've heard it for years, from many different sources. But just for 
anyone who isn't up on this--it's only *raw* honey that is a problem. Cooked 
honey, such as in a cake or cookie, would be fine.
