In the early morning of the city, small street vendors are always crowded. Mr. Sun, 40 years old, buys from a specific vendor every day before going to workTwo steamed buns or Mantou for breakfast. This habit has been going on for several years because for him, these steamed buns are both affordable and delicious, in line with his busy pace of life.

But one day, while Mr. Sun was preparing to leave with his steamed buns as usual, he happened to see a notice next to the vendor, with a few simple words:Use of food additives.This sentence stopped him from walking. A question welled up in my heart:Is the steamed bun I eat every day really safe?

Mr. Sun has food poisoning

After finishing his steamed buns that morning, Mr. Sun felt in a good mood.However, when he arrived at the company and started today's work, the situation exceeded his expectations.

Before 10 am,He felt a bit dizzy and began to find it difficult to concentrate.He rubbed his temples, thinking it was fatigue caused by staying up late working for several consecutive days. Subsequently, a wave of nausea struck, accompanied by several instances of retching. He tried drinking some water in the hope of alleviating his discomfort, but soon,He felt chest tightness and his breathing became difficult.

This sudden illness shocked him, but he instinctively told himself:Perhaps it was a cold last night, after all, it has been a bit cold lately, and he also remembers being caught in the rain before.So, he decided to persist as much as possible and wait until noon to go to the pharmacy to buy some cold medicine.

But as time passed, the symptoms did not alleviate, but instead became more severe. At 11 o'clock, he realized that his fingertips had started to turn blue, and he knew it wasSymptoms of hypoxia. At this point, his colleagues also noticed his abnormality and suggested that he go to the hospital immediately.

Mr. Sun realized at this moment that the situation could be far more serious than he had imagined,His body felt as if he was being pressed down by a heavy object, and his legs were so soft that he could hardly stand up.With the help of his colleagues, he immediately called a taxi and hurried to the nearest hospital.

Upon arriving at the emergency room, the doctor immediately conducted a series of examinations for him. From the initial symptoms and the breakfast he described,The doctor suspects that he may have been poisoned by certain substances in the food.Mr. Sun vaguely remembered that the taste of steamed buns that morning was slightly different from usual, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

After a series of emergency measures, Mr. Sun's vital signs gradually stabilized. But the doctor told him that further examination must be carried out immediately to determine the cause of the poisoning and provide targeted treatment. At this moment, Mr. Sun's heart was filled with doubts and fear:What the hell is going on? He has eaten steamed buns so many times, why is this happening this time?

The trouble caused by aluminum bubble powder

The aluminum content in your body far exceeds the normal value, which is an acute aluminum poisoning. What food do you often eat recently

Every morning I buy steamed buns or Mantou for breakfast at the roadside stall. "

Dr. Zhang Wei nodded:"I suspect that aluminum foam powder is used as leavening agent in these steamed buns and Mantou. This substance can make pasta look whiter and softer, but it can be consumed for a long time,Aluminum can accumulate to dangerous levels in the body

Mr. Sun looked at Zhang Wei in shock, with mixed feelings in his heart. He couldn't believe that what had always been considered traditional and healthy food could be so dangerous. He asked inexplicably:But I have been eating these for many years, why did this suddenly happen.

Mr. Sun's wife also walked in at this moment and looked at Mr. Sun's anxious expression. She said anxiously, "Our family often makes steamed buns ourselves, but this has never happened before,

Doctor Zhang Wei said seriously, "Indeed, in pursuit of the taste and appearance of food, XuMany small workshops and non-standard food manufacturers use a large amount of aluminum baking powder, resulting in a significant increase in aluminum content in food.

Mr. Sun was already alert at this moment, realizing that his habitual habit of buying breakfast had brought him a life crisis. The doctor also popularized science to Mr. SunThe harm of aluminum foam powder.

The harm of aluminum foam baking powder to human health

1. Risk of aluminum poisoning:Long term consumption of food containing aluminum baking powder may lead to the accumulation of aluminum in the body. When the content of aluminum exceeds a certain limit, it may lead to aluminum poisoning. The symptoms of aluminum poisoning include headache, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, memory loss, and mental disorder.

2. Damage to the nervous system:Aluminum is a neurotoxin that poses great harm to the nervous system. It can affect the synthesis and release of neurotransmitters, leading to memory loss, delayed response, hand tremors, insomnia, and other neurological diseases.

3. Impairment of liver and kidney function:Aluminum cannot be digested in the body, and most of it needs to be excreted from the body through the liver and kidneys. When excessive aluminum is ingested, it can cause excessive burden on these two organs, leading to a decrease in organ function, which may further lead to cirrhosis or renal insufficiency.

4. Disrupting nutrition in food:Aluminum baking powder may form insoluble salts with some nutrients in food, such as calcium, phosphorus, and zinc, reducing the bioavailability of these elements. In this way, even if we consume sufficient nutrients, our body may not be able to fully absorb them due to aluminum interference.

5. Impact on bone health:Long term excessive intake of aluminum may lead to calcium loss and increase the risk of fractures. Aluminum may also affect the mineralization process of bones, leading to a decrease in bone density.

6. Impact on the digestive system:Aluminum bubble baking powder may react with stomach acid in the stomach, causing the acid-base balance in the stomach to be disrupted, leading to digestive discomfort such as stomach pain and bloating.

For the sake of good health, we need to always be vigilant,Pay attention to additives in food, especially potentially harmful substances such as aluminum baking powder.When purchasing food, you should carefully check the food label and avoid choosing food that contains aluminum baking powder or other harmful additives.
