PLN 23

While reading blogs on the CNN website i can across an article that caught my eye at once, the article was posted as Study: Honey help's kids cough. The article was very interesting, it started out by saying a teaspoon of honey seems to help a kids cough sooth and help them sleep throughout the night. Also that for health purposes children under the age of 6 years old should NOT use cough or cold medicine because of the high risk health risks, and that parents with children of this age instead of giving them cough medicine they would advise parents to use honey. Except if you have a child of 1 years old or younger because of the obvious risk of them choking on such a thick substance, and suffocating to death.
This article is important to me because personally i don't like OTC (Over the counter) cough medicine or any type of cough and cold medicine because of the nasty taste and the fact it doesn't quite help. So from reading this next time i get a cough or a cold ill just take a teaspoon of honey or maybe more just because the stuff is so good!
This article is also important to the world because it could really help the kids of the world stay healthier, and reduce the amount of kids get even more sick by taking OTC drugs and other medicine .
