Fan, the elderly should not eat too much

There are many people who like to eat vermicelli. Some can eat a large bowl at one time, and even eat vermicelli as a staple food to satisfy their hunger. In fact, this way of eating is unscientific. Because during the processing of vermicelli, about 0.5% alum is added to the powder slurry.

The added alum and powder slurry are agglomerated and rarely separated, and as the vermicelli is formed and dried, the alum content will increase. As we all know, alum contains a lot of aluminum salts, so vermicelli is an aluminum-containing food. If you eat a lot of vermicelli, you will consume a lot of aluminum.

Aluminum is toxic to the human body in many ways. As early as 1989, the World Health Organization officially designated aluminum as a food contaminant and required strict control. According to scientific tests, the daily allowable intake of aluminum per person is 1 mg per kilogram of body weight.

According to measurements, we can consume about 4 milligrams of aluminum through daily use of aluminum tableware, and more than 10 milligrams of aluminum through regular consumption of lead-containing food. Starting from this calculation, you can roughly calculate. The upper limit of vermicelli that a person can eat per day is very small. Taking fans as a staple food is undoubtedly tantamount to "chronic suicide."

For the elderly, aluminum can cause Alzheimer's disease. Looking at those Alzheimer's patients who are drooling, unable to answer three questions, and unable to take care of themselves, are you still willing to eat big bowls of vermicelli?
