Maybe I'm wrong, but don't you think if honey were inherently 
dangerous for infants mothers would know? So many babies have been 
raised on milk and honey over time, or had their pacifiers dipped in 
honey that if the problem were real that it's mothers who would pass 
that knowledge down to their daughters?

Or was it all started by the USDA trying to cover their butts in the 
honey giveaway program.
