Is it harmful to your health to drink corn paste often?

Corn paste is a kind of porridge food with corn as the main raw material, which is common in the breakfast market in southern China. It is rich in starch, protein, dietary fiber and other nutrients, but if it is eaten in large quantities for a long time, it may also have adverse effects on the body.

First of all, corn paste has a high calorie, which is about 120 kcal per100g, which is equivalent to two eggs or a bowl of rice. If you don't pay attention to controlling your intake, it will easily lead to obesity and other problems.

Secondly, because corn paste needs to add a lot of sugar and oil in the production process, it also contains more sugar and fat. Excessive intake of these nutrients may increase the risk of diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia.

In addition, if the corn paste is not preserved properly or the processing process is unsanitary, it is easy to be polluted and cause bacterial infection. Therefore, it is suggested that you should choose regular businesses or control food hygiene yourself when buying and eating.

Finally, although corn paste is rich in nutrition, it cannot replace other staple foods and protein sources. If corn paste is the staple food for a long time, it will lead to unbalanced nutrition and affect health.
