Preface
Do you know? There are many foods that we eat daily in our lives. may seem harmless to our health, but in fact, long-term consumption will cause irreversible damage to our health.
And many of them are synthetic junk food. The merchants themselves don’t eat these things, but we and our families eat them every day. Come and see what they are.
7. Beef and mutton rolls
Winter is coming, and snowflakes have been falling outside the windows in many areas recently. In this season of "fairy spirit", it is a joy to have a warm hot pot with your family. The sense index soared directly.
The main thing to eat in hot pot is shabu-shabu, among which meat is the best, especially the red and white beef and mutton rolls. A thin slice can be eaten after being simmered in the hot pot for more than ten seconds. It is fresh and refreshing in the mouth. Smooth, not too delicious at all.
But now many people like to buy ready-made beef and mutton rolls. Although the appearance looks very good, some meat rolls are actually synthetic and not real fresh-cut meat.
So how do we distinguish the difference between fresh-cut meat and artificial meat rolls?
, look at the texture
Freshly cut beef and mutton rolls are red and white, the meat is firm and exudes a light fragrance; the synthetic ones are different.
Although there is no shortage of red meat and white meat, but the grain boundaries will be extremely clear, and some even fall apart before being cooked. This kind of meat can basically be synthetic meat.
. Smell
Real beef will emit a faint fragrance, and mutton will emit a faint smell. In order to be more like real meat, synthetic meat will add beef and mutton flavors.
Especially mutton, synthetic mutton either has no mutton smell, or has a strong mutton smell . When choosing meat, we can choose based on the taste.
, look at the price
In order to compete for the market, most synthetic meats will choose to engage in price wars, which will lead to some people who do not know the truth to choose to buy, but such meat is not beneficial to our bodies. The taste is far inferior to fresh meat.
So when we buy, we can compare the prices. If is far lower than the market price, then we should not buy the meat no matter how cheap it is.
6. Duck blood
Duck blood is a kind of magical food. People who like it love to eat it, but those who don’t like it won’t touch a bite. I am exactly the kind of person who loves to eat duck blood.
In summer, a plate of fried duck blood with chili peppers, paired with beer, is cool and pleasant; in autumn, a bowl of warm duck blood vermicelli soup will keep you warm from the cold; in winter, have a hot pot and cook some duck blood for tenderness Spring teeth.
But the troublesome thing is that duck blood is easily adulterated. In order to reduce production costs, some businesses will use other animal blood to make duck blood.
"How can there be so many ducks to bleed you?" When a blogger deciphered the duck blood production process, he discovered that we are lucky to be able to eat duck blood made from the blood of other animals. There are many in the market Duck blood is blended with blood powder.
Blood powder is not only fake, but also very easy to produce bacteria. It can be added with various additives such as carrageenan and duck flavor. The duck blood made in this way looks the same to the naked eye as the fresh duck seen in our hot pot restaurants. Blood makes no difference.
If you want to buy real duck blood, you should choose from these three aspects:
. Real duck blood is easy to pinch and crush, while fake duck blood will be smoother and tougher; . Real duck blood There will be holes of uniform size on the surface and inside of duck blood. Even if there are holes in fake duck blood, they will be of different sizes;5. Jelly
Jelly is a very common snack. Not only children love to eat it, jelly is also the "heart favorite" of many adults.
But jelly is also a synthetic food. It is a blend of drinking water, additives, carrageenan and various fruity flavors.
Eating too much jelly is not good for your health. is not only easy to get angry, but can also cause sore throat, inflammation, stomachache and other adverse effects.
4. Starch sausage
Starch sausage is a kind of street snack that children and young people especially like to eat. It is golden in color and attractive in taste. It can be found in playgrounds, shopping malls, snack streets, university towns and many other places. Sales are good.
and the popular "10 Starch Sausages in Autumn" in the past two years, all demonstrate everyone's love for starch sausages.
However, starch sausage contains a lot of additives such as meat flavors and preservatives. It is also a synthetic junk food . Eating too much will not only cause obesity, but also cause irreversible damage to our bodies.
3. Flour food
Living conditions are getting better and better. With the rise of the Internet era, more and more local delicacies are being discovered, such as Liuzhou snail noodles, Hunan rice noodles, Nanchang mixed noodles, and northern sweet potatoes. Pink and so on.
but do you know? Some of the vermicelli, vermicelli, etc. sold on the market are not made of pure grain, but are mixed with some colloids and additives.
Therefore, we must learn to read the ingredient list when purchasing, so as to avoid buying artificial vermicelli to a large extent.
2. Crab sticks
Many mothers like to use crab sticks as complementary food for their babies. believe that crab sticks are very nutritious, but in fact, crab sticks are not made of crab meat.
The crab sticks we saw are very close to crab in appearance and taste, but in fact crab sticks are synthetic food made from surimi and leftovers.
In order to pursue a delicious taste, some additives and flavor enhancers will be put in it. Foods like this are not allowed to be eaten by babies, not even adults.
1. Honey
Honey is a natural drink collected by bees. It can not only be used to make various delicacies, but can also be soaked in water to drink. Honey water has many benefits for the human body, Not only can it relieve inflammation and cough, moisturize the intestines and strengthen the body, it is said to also beautify the skin.
However, it is extremely easy to buy fake honey. In order to make profits, many businesses will mix white sugar and honey. It looks the same as real honey, but in fact it is no longer pure honey.
But this is not bad. Although it has no health benefits, at least it will not cause any harm to the body.
Some unscrupulous businesses, in order to control costs, will use pigments, flavors, and gum additives to make honey for sale. Honey like tastes similar to real honey, but it is truly synthetic junk food.
There are still some unscrupulous merchants selling such honey on the market, and it is difficult for people who don’t drink it regularly to identify it. Next, I will teach you three ways to identify honey.
The first is to look at the color, the color of real honey is earthy yellow, which is darker, while the color of fake honey is orange and lighter;
the second is to smell the smell, real honey has sweetness at the same time Floral scent, is not just sweet, but adding honey will have a flavor of essence;
The third is to taste, this is naturally impossible to achieve in supermarkets, but if you buy it in a store or a beekeeper, , can ask for a taste.
Real honey has a sweet taste and will not cause any discomfort in the throat even if you eat it on an empty stomach. Fake honey has a flavor of essence. In some cases, you can even feel the granulated sugar that has not yet melted when you eat it.

These synthetic junk foods , some are rough in workmanship, some are not hygienic, and some have too many additives. It can be said that even businesses will not eat them, but these are our daily lives. Foods that can be seen everywhere and are eaten all the time,
