Which foods and medicines contain higher aluminum

Aluminum-containing compounds: potassium alum (potassium aluminum chloride), ammonium alum (aluminum chloride) has been widely used in the food industry, the pharmaceutical industry also uses aluminum hydroxide as a treatment for diseases such as hyperacidity, gastric ulcer, etc. Antacids, gastric mucosal protective agents, etc. With the study of patients with Alzheimer's disease in the medical community in recent years, it has been found that the aluminum content of these patients is much higher than that of normal people. For a time, aluminum has become a street-crossing rat.

In fact, in the use of aluminum tableware, trace amounts of aluminum ions are dissolved in water, but if used properly, less than one milligram of aluminum per liter of water (food) dissolved in water will not affect people's health. Because metallic aluminum naturally forms a tough aluminum oxide film in the air, food cannot come in contact with cutlery. Some people have calculated that drinking all the aluminum pot boiling water in a year, the intake of aluminum in the body, is not as good as a lot of aluminum in the fritters. However, if aluminum products are used to cook foods containing acidic, alkaline or large amounts of salt, the situation will be different, because the acid, alkali and salt will destroy the film. This will not only destroy the dishes, but also make more aluminum dissolve into the water. ,affect health.

Which foods contain aluminum

Natural alum (crystallized potassium aluminum chloride) and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) are added to the flour and when heated, a large amount of bubbles are generated, making the pasta more fluffy and palatable. Such as fritters, cakes, coke circle, crisp and so on, according to the relevant department tests, the amount of aluminum in each oil stick up to tens of milligrams!

Sweet, fluffy cakes are delicious and people like to eat, but most of the cakes have to be made with “spraying powder” to make the cake fluffy and soft. Baking powder is made of alum and baking soda with a small amount of spices. A small portion of the cake contains more aluminum than a fritter.

There are exceptions. In recent years, regular food factories have made soft cakes using aluminum-free foaming agents or purely physical methods. This cake does not contain aluminum and can be eaten with confidence.

Pasta such as bread and steamed bread are loosened by biological fermentation. The bread after fermentation contains not only aluminum but also beneficial ingredients such as lactic acid and vitamin B. Peach, cookies, biscuits and other baked pasta, the bulking agent is mainly ammonium bicarbonate, after baking all volatile gas, food basically no residue, and food is safe.

Flocculation of food through alum

Alum has a good flocculation and is often used as a water purifying agent by the public. Modern large urban formal waterworks do not need alum, but some small-scale waterworks that use surface water sometimes add some aluminum salt flocculants to the water to accelerate sedimentation of sediments and other suspended matters in the water, making the tap water contain more aluminum. ion.

Some starchy foods such as vermicelli, vermicelli, vermicelli, jelly, and cold skin are often added to alum during production. After the alum's flocculation, vermicelli and jelly will become very cramped and will not be easily boiled in boiling water. For example, the real "Longkou fan" is made of mung bean starch, but it is possible to add no or less alum. The counterfeit "Longkou fan" must add alum to reduce costs and switch to corn starch production. This poor quality fan has a bitter taste after the entrance.

Some inferior vermicelli, hawthorn cakes, artificial jellyfish, and poor quality jelly were also added to Alum in varying degrees to improve toughness and reduce costs.

It should be pointed out that there are two kinds of foods (healthcare products) that must be added to alum during processing. The finished products will also have some residual aluminum: one is jellyfish, which must be added to accelerate protein after salvaging out of the sea. The coagulation and degradation of jellyfish toxins. Therefore, it should be washed repeatedly with water before eating. The other is spirulina, Chlorella, people in the culture solution by adding alum or other aluminum salt flocculant, flocculation and sedimentation before they can be separated from the culture solution.

Unscrupulous traders use Alum to gain weight for dry goods

Some black-hearted traders added alum to the higher-priced dry foods and seasonings and dried them in order to increase the weight of the cheap alum and injure the consumers and earn huge profits.

The surface has shiny crystals of fungus; the surface of a shiny crystal octagonal (anise), the crystal is the crystal of alum. The auricularia with alum was not produced, and the taste was very poor. The foods seized were white fungus, Chinese caterpillar fungus, pepper, cloves, cinnamon, etc. It is best to go to a regular shop to purchase these foods.

In some tourist spots along the coast, traders have added large quantities of alum to dry sea cargoes, such as sea cucumbers, abalone, scallops and shellfish. Although they have been rinsed for several dozen times, they are still bitter and difficult to swallow. Since alum enters into a condensed matter with proteins, it is difficult to wash off with water.

Aluminum-containing drugs should not be long-term dependent

Some western medicines also contain aluminum components, and some are still quite a few. For example, "aluminum hydroxide gel" for treating hyperacidity and protecting gastric mucosa, "Weishuping (aluminum hydroxide compound)", "Gaweiping" and the like. These drugs will also bring about side effects such as deposition and enrichment of aluminum in the body of the patient when the pain is relieved. Western medicines containing aluminum also have analgesic "aspirin" and "liposemic aluminum salts" and "nicotinic acid aluminum salts" that regulate blood lipids. As the saying goes, "it is a drug three-point poison." Patients should not forget their side effects when taking these drugs, and they should not rely on long-term dependence.
