A few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mr. Wang in Hefei has received many boxes of moon cakes from relatives and friends. For the convenience of storage, he took out the moon cakes and put them in the refrigerator, hoping to keep them for a long time. "Some people say that moon cakes are' health killers', and my wife can't eat them because of high blood pressure, so I eat them alone every year. I think this is a traditional food, which is quite good. " Mr. Wang said.

So how to eat moon cakes with the double labels of "health killer" and "traditional food" is healthy? Zhao believes that moon cakes are a traditional food that can be eaten, but it depends on the variety and quantity of food. "Traditional moon cakes are a collection of high fat, high sugar and high energy. It is no problem for healthy people to eat in small quantities during festivals. For some people with basic diseases, the consumption should be strictly controlled. "

In Zhao's view, moon cakes have many flavors as snacks, but they can't be used as staple food. They can be eaten in small quantities when enjoying the moon, which can be enjoyable. For people with basic diseases, you can choose some moon cakes made by special techniques, and it doesn't hurt to eat a small amount. However, even healthy people should emphasize the control of food intake and not eat it as a staple food.

Sugar-free healthy moon cakes are mostly gimmicks.

You can't just look at the shelf life when choosing moon cakes.

In his view, the quality of moon cakes depends not only on the shelf life, but also on preservatives. "My understanding is that all the ingredients in the production of moon cakes are relatively good and must meet the current food standards. Such moon cakes are good moon cakes. Food additives can't be demonized, and it is no problem to add them properly. The longer shelf life will not cause waste, and it is also in line with the current concept of saving food. "
