Can eating too many mints lead to infertility? There is no evidence that long-term consumption of mints will lead to infertility.
However, it cannot be ruled out that the problem of food safety may be caused by other chemicals in the food itself, which is not absolute, but related to individual differences.
Eating too many mints (brushing teeth is not particularly serious) can lead to oral ulcers, tooth decay, elevated blood sugar and even diabetes.
Can eating too much mint lead to palace cold? At present, there is no evidence that eating mint can cause palace cold, but eating too much mint can cause palace cold.
According to the principle of traditional Chinese medicine, it seems reasonable that some mints (or over-the-counter drugs that are often eaten as mints) contain borneol, but borneol is cold and sucrose is sweet and cold.
Because of the acquired reasons, such as playing with water, being in a cold and shady place for a long time, blowing air conditioning during menstruation, liking to eat cold food or being attacked by cold pathogens in cold winter, all these will lead to cold pathogens condensing the uterus and leading to palace chills. However, women who are cold in mint and lack of coldness in their own constitution may increase the possibility of causing palace cold if they eat too many crabs; However, mint is pungent, sweaty and gas-consuming, and long-term consumption may also lead to qi deficiency and palace cold.
What happens when you eat too many mints? Take the sugar-free mints of Green Arrow as an example, and analyze their components:
Ingredients: food additives (sorbitol, magnesium stearate, acesulfame K, lemon yellow aluminum lake, sucralose), edible spices (including natural mint spices).
Nutrients (per serving): energy: 24 kJ, protein: 0g, fat: 0. 1g, carbohydrate: 1.2g (sugar 0g), sodium: 0mg.
① The sweetness of sorbitol is lower than that of sucrose, and its metabolism will not cause the increase of blood sugar, so it is more common in the production of sugar-free candy. Excessive intake may lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction symptoms such as gastrointestinal pain.
② Magnesium stearate is often used as food coating agent. As mints are hard-pressed tablets, magnesium stearate can be used as an auxiliary agent in the tabletting process. Acesulfame K is an artificial sweetener, and its sweetness is about 130 times that of sucrose. Intake of food containing excessive acesulfame K may cause liver and nervous system damage.
(3) Lemon yellow aluminum lake is a kind of food pigment, so the color of this mint is yellow, and it will slowly release lemon yellow in acidic and alkaline aqueous solutions.
Sucralose is a widely used sweetener, and its sweetness is 600 times that of sucrose. It has no energy, good safety and pure sweetness, and is one of the best sweeteners at present.
⑤ Edible spices provide mint flavor when eaten.
6 Next, look at the nutrients. It is worth noting that although each serving contains 65,438+0.2 grams of carbohydrates, the metabolism of these carbohydrates and other sweeteners will not lead to an increase in blood sugar, so such products can also be called sugar-free foods.
Are mints addictive? "Addiction" may be a stronger interest in mint spices used. As long as it is not eaten in large quantities for a long time, it should not cause harm to the human body according to the amount of each serving. In fact, I've tried eating on an empty stomach, so I suggest not to eat too much.
It's absolutely okay to eat occasionally, but you can't eat one can a day like this. Just take about five pills a day. Don't eat too much and hurt your mouth ~
