Medical research on aluminum-containing foods shows that aluminum can kill brain cells and damage the brain. Popcorn and preserved eggs have high lead content, so parents should give them less. Aluminum-containing foods often give children foods with high aluminum content, which will cause memory loss, slow response and even dementia. Therefore, parents had better not give their children food with high aluminum content, such as fried dough sticks and oil cakes. Research by the World Health Organization shows that the daily intake of aluminum per kilogram of body weight should not exceed 1 mg. Zhong Er
According to the survey of the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the average daily aluminum intake of Chinese residents is 34 mg, which is safe for adults, but it has exceeded the tolerance of children. According to experts, children are more vulnerable to the influence of puffed food with excessive aluminum than adults. However, children are the most loyal consumers of puffed food.
Danger: Excessive aluminum is a health killer. It is understood that aluminum is a low toxic metal element. It is not a trace element needed by human body and will not cause acute poisoning. However, if the aluminum contained in food exceeds the national standard, it will cause harm to human body. Only 65,438+00%-65,438+05% aluminum can be excreted, and most of it will accumulate in the body, which will combine with protein, enzymes and other important components of human body, affecting various biochemical reactions in the body. Long-term intake will damage the brain, leading to dementia, anemia, osteoporosis and other diseases, especially for the elderly, children and pregnant women with weak physical resistance, and may lead to children's developmental retardation.
When eating puffed food with aluminum exceeding the standard, aluminum will accumulate in the human body, causing pathological changes in the nervous system, interfering with people's thinking, consciousness and memory functions, and may cause dementia in severe cases. When the content of aluminum in human body is too high, it will affect the absorption of phosphorus. Insoluble aluminum phosphate formed in the intestine is excreted with feces, and phosphorus deficiency affects the absorption of calcium (insufficient calcium phosphate is produced), leading to the loss of calcium deposited in bone, inhibiting bone formation and osteomalacia. Excessive intake of aluminum may also lead to osteoporosis and easy fracture.
Beware: Fried dough sticks, French fries and other foods containing aluminum additives are one of the main sources of aluminum intake. Fried dough sticks are a kind of food that many people often eat. Alum and soda are often added in the production process to make them contain more aluminum. Vermicelli, bean jelly, oil cake, French fries, steamed bread and bread made by unnatural fermentation with baking powder containing aluminum all contain aluminum. At present, the aluminum-containing food additives produced and widely used in China mainly include potassium alum, ammonium alum and compound aluminum-containing additives. Although the national standard does not stipulate the content of aluminum in food additives, it stipulates that the content of aluminum in food should not exceed 100 mg/kg. ?
Some drugs containing aluminum hydroxide, while treating human diseases, also make aluminum quietly enter the human body. ?
Aluminum pot, aluminum pot, aluminum pot and other aluminum or aluminum alloy products are also the source of aluminum entering the human body. Especially when cooking, adding vinegar to taste will accelerate the dissolution of aluminum.
