Judging from the medicinal value, in the Pharmacopoeia of China's history, gold has many medicinal values, such as treating children's shock, epilepsy of five internal organs, unconsciousness, calming the mind and calming the nerves. Herbal rejuvenation: soothing the liver and regulating qi, calming the heart and tranquilizing the mind, nourishing kidney water, dredging meridians, benefiting joints, breaking accumulation and eliminating gangrene, and treating epilepsy and acne in children. About 5000 years ago, Egyptians used gold in dentistry to install gold teeth for patients with severe tooth decay; In ancient Rome, doctors used gold to treat skin diseases, and wounds covered with gold no longer festered; In the history of modern medicine, gold has been used to treat immune diseases, especially rheumatoid arthritis. In the study, it was also found that gold has the functions of antioxidation and inhibition of specific enzymes. Li Shizhen of Ming Dynasty in China believed that gold was taken in pills wrapped in tin foil to break the cold and dispel the wind.

However, it is not recommended to use a pot filled with gold for cooking. Although gold used as food is not ordinary bricks, bars and rings. Gold used as food raw materials must be processed gold foil. According to legend, Ge Hong, an alchemist in the Jin Dynasty, created the gold foil process, which refined pure gold through more than ten processes, so that gold of different sizes became uniform, as thin as cicada wings, and the molecular structure was easy to separate, achieving the purpose of easy digestion. However, how much gold foil can an adult eat at most a day? At present, there is no scientific evidence to prove that a large amount of accumulated gold is harmful to human body, because in ancient times, only people have recorded the use of gold to make tableware, and it has not been circulated that some people's daily tableware is pure gold. It can be seen that the use of gold-containing cookware or tableware is not worth promoting.

Therefore, I am personally opposed to cooking with gold-containing pots, but if you mean those pots in Taobao that are under the banner of "gold", you personally like them! Those pots are only coated with a golden non-stick coating (what is more false is that transparent plastic pots are coated with a golden layer), and any statement about health, heat preservation and energy saving has no reasonable scientific basis.
