Now people's living standards have improved, and various health care products are emerging in the market. I believe everyone is familiar with a product, Cordyceps sinensis, which claims to be anti-cancer. Eating it often can prolong life. Its price is also ridiculously high. Calculated by grams, some products cost as much as 6,000 yuan in 10 grams. It is said to be a big scam, mainly because its nutritional value and price are far from each other, and even there are not many nutritional ingredients.

Cordyceps sinensis looks like a bug. After all, this Cordyceps sinensis is a dead insect formed after the insect is controlled by Cordyceps sinensis. Many people claimed that Cordyceps has high nutritional value, mainly because it contains a substance called "Cordyceps acid". People exaggerate that it can fight cancer and prolong life. In fact, after research, this kind of "cordycepic acid" is essentially "mannitol", which is just a very common chemical raw material.

Mannitol is widely used and can be found in some drugs. For example, Kaiser Dew, which we usually treat constipation, contains this ingredient, but everyone should know how much Kaiser Dew is worth. Therefore, it is a scam to sell it at a very high price like Cordyceps.

In addition, some people say that the nutritional value of Cordyceps sinensis is not only cordycepic acid, but also something called "cordycepin". However, experts have not found cordycepin in Cordyceps sinensis after experiments, so the outside anti-cancer propaganda is also nonsense.

Therefore, the value of Cordyceps sinensis is not as magical as advertised. It's just a very common product. Eating more is not only bad, but also harmful to your health. Don't be fooled by Cordyceps sinensis.
