However, when the "3. 15 party" exposed the production process of spicy strips, I believe everyone will no longer have a preference for spicy strips.
▲ The production environment of spicy strips
In fact, it is not the first time that spicy strips have violated the rules. 20 18 "Wei Long spicy strips", the leader of spicy strips industry, and several brands of spicy strips were found to be unqualified. The unqualified reason was that sorbic acid and dehydroacetic acid were illegally added. These two additives are contraband in "seasoned flour products".
Among the spicy strips exposed in this "3. 15 party", the one that impressed me the most was "Shrimp Pulling Eggs". This spicy strip was identified as exceeding the standard by the US Food and Drug Administration in Beijing on 20 14, and was taken off the shelf for treatment. Children also have symptoms such as nausea and vomiting after eating.
It is worth noting that the biggest group eating spicy strips is primary school students. If they eat food with excessive additives for a long time, it will do harm to the liver and nervous system of the human body. These chemical flavoring agents are randomly added to spicy strips without any detection, which will bring great health risks to developing children.

Is eating spicy strips often harmful to human body?
According to the above, spicy strips are foods with high salt, oil, sugar and additives. Even the spicy strips produced by regular manufacturers are still unhealthy food from the perspective of health and nutrition.
Next, let's see what harm eating spicy strips will bring to us:
1, resulting in unhealthy eating habits. Long-term consumption of spicy strips will lead consumers to be overweight and unwilling to eat healthy and light food, which will lead to chronic diseases such as diabetes and hyperlipidemia.
2, leading to the child's developmental delay. Children are in the stage of rapid growth, and all organs need a lot of nutrition. However, although the energy of spicy strips is high, after high-temperature frying and puffing in the production process, the protein is denatured and a large number of unsaturated fatty acids are destroyed. A large number of additives can't effectively provide children with the nutrition they need. Long-term consumption will also damage children's gastrointestinal absorption function and affect the absorption of other food nutrients. In the long run, some organs of children may be stunted or incomplete, and eventually there will be symptoms such as short stature, mental retardation and decreased resistance.
3. Induce hypertension. The sodium content in spicy strips is high, and excessive sodium intake will lead to high blood pressure. It can be seen that spicy strips are "dangerous" foods that induce hypertension.
In addition, the salt content of spicy strips exceeds the standard. According to the World Health Organization, the daily salt intake per person is 5g, and the dietary guidelines for China residents are "6g for adults and 4g for children". However, even the small packages of 25g-30g contain 3.75g-4.5g of salt, while the large packages of 60g and 120g contain up to 9g and 18g of salt.
It can be seen that the child eats a small bag of spicy strips, and the salt intake has exceeded the standard. Adults eat a big bag of spicy strips, and their salt intake has exceeded the standard. Therefore, even if it is a regular spicy strip, eat less or not.

Why are spicy strips so attractive?
The most attractive thing about spicy strips is nothing more than "taste bud stimulation".
I believe that friends who have eaten spicy food have this feeling. Even if they can't eat spicy food, they will still be panting and sweating to eat a bite. This is because when spicy food stimulates nerve endings in the tongue and mouth, the nervous system of the body will appear reflexively. The heartbeat is accelerated, the secretion of saliva and sweat is increased, and the gastrointestinal peristalsis is doubled.
At the same time, exciting stimuli will release endorphins from the brain. If you eat again, the brain will think that there is pain coming, so it will release more endorphins. Endoprotein can promote the secretion of dopamine, another substance in the brain Dopamine is a kind of brain endocrine, which is equivalent to the material basis of "reward system" in everyone's body. It is a substance similar to adrenaline, which can affect a person's mood and make people highly excited in a short time. So the hedonistic brain makes us addicted to spicy food.
Therefore, under the double stimulation of taste buds and brain, it is difficult for us to refuse "spicy strips".
