Speaking of food additives, we all know that there is such a term, but many people do not know exactly what the illegal additives will bring to the human body. In many food additives, we are exposed to more aluminum additives in our daily life, so the problem is, what is aluminum additives?

Food and drug administration staff said, "the representative of aluminum food additives can be said to be alum." Alum has a long history of use. In the past, alum was used to fry sesame and fried dough sticks at home. Studies have shown that a small amount of aluminum will be quickly metabolized after entering the human body. If excessive intake, aluminum will accumulate in some tissues and organs, causing toxicity. The greatest harm of aluminum is to accumulate in brain cells, induce brain nervous system lesions, resulting in memory decline, decline, slow action. The second is the damage to the skeletal system. Excessive aluminum intake can reduce blood phosphorus, accelerate the loss of calcium, phosphorus and fluorine in bone, inhibit the synthesis of bone matrix, and cause bone softening, osteoporosis, fracture and other damage. Aluminum can also cause immunosuppression, affect the number and function of T cells, and increase the possibility of disease. Excessive intake of aluminum in pregnant women may affect the development of the fetus, and even cause abortion. Based on these understandings, the World Health Organization (who) formally listed aluminum as a hazardous substance harmful to health in 1989 and demanded strict control. It was proposed that aluminum should not be consumed more than 2 mg per kg body weight per week.

The steamed bread or dough sticks made with alum are fluffy and delicious, and they sell well. They are more delicious than those made with yeast or old flour. For the sake of interests, some vendors are not willing to ban alum, and secretly deal with regulators. Therefore, in addition to supervision, consumers should realize the disadvantages of aluminum additives and eat less fried dough sticks and steamed bread on the street.
