What happens when you eat too much jelly? What is the harm of jelly?
What harm does eating too much jelly have?
I believe everyone has eaten jelly when they were young, and everyone thinks it is delicious. Many children like it, even some adults like it. So what is jelly made of? What harm does eating too much jelly have?
I. Pigment essence
In fact, most jellies are not made of real fruit juice. Unless you make it yourself, you rarely sell it outside, because the cost of juice is high, while the cost of pigments, flavors and sweeteners is much lower, and most of them are synthetic pigments and flavors. These substances are not only nutritious for people, but also may produce some toxins, especially for children, which will greatly affect their normal growth and development after eating.
Second, all kinds of chewing gum.
Jelly can be condensed into semi-solid because it contains a kind of colloid, such as gelatin, fish meal, sodium alginate and agar. These chewing gums are natural foods with high dietary fiber. Although it can absorb intestinal impurities and clean the intestines, these gums are not easy to digest, especially for children with bad stomachs, which will also affect the absorption of protein and fat. Although you can lose weight, it is not easy for growing children.
Third, tracheal obstruction.
Another harm of jelly is that when children eat jelly, it is not easy to dissolve and digest, and once they are not careful, they will be inhaled into the trachea, because jelly is soft, easy to form blockage, difficult to discharge, and easy to cause suffocation. Once you miss the golden five-minute treatment time, the child will suffocate, so don't let the child eat jelly while playing, but scoop it up with a spoon and eat it after eating. Or simply don't give children jelly to avoid danger.
The efficacy of jelly
Do you already know the harm of eating too much jelly through the above introduction? In fact, the efficacy and function of jelly is also worth learning, but you must eat jelly in moderation!
1. Most jellies use seaweed gum, which is a natural food additive and nutritionally called soluble dietary fiber. As we know, fruits, vegetables and coarse grains contain certain dietary fiber, and their main nutritional function to human body is to regulate intestinal function, especially to moisten intestines and relax bowels.
2. Adding oligosaccharides to some jellies can regulate intestinal flora, increase beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium, strengthen digestion and absorption function, and reduce the probability of illness. According to the survey, it is a common phenomenon that most people in China consume high-fat and high-energy foods in their daily diet. It is a good choice to eat more jelly to promote digestion when vegetables and fruits can't be supplemented in time.
Another advantage of jelly lies in its low energy. It contains almost no energy nutrients such as protein and fat, so it is safe for women who want to keep slim.
