Aluminum Sulfate Health Risks
On the Health Hazards of Alum
In recent times, the application of alum has become more and more widespread. However, the world is more ignorant of its potential health risks, and this is a detailed discussion.
Alum, the chemical name is potassium aluminum sulfate, is used in many fields of life. When purifying water, it can promote the sedimentation of impurities in the water and clarify the water. In food processing, it is also often used as an additive, such as when frying fritters, which can make the fritters puffy and crispy.
However, alum contains aluminum, which is a major health concern. The human body consumes too much aluminum, which is difficult to excrete. Accumulated in the body, it can damage the nervous system. In light cases, it may cause memory loss and delayed response, and in severe cases, it may cause Alzheimer's disease. In children, their nervous system is still developing, and excessive intake of aluminum is especially harmful, or affects intellectual development.
And aluminum also has adverse effects on bones. It interferes with calcium and phosphorus metabolism, and long-term intake can cause bone mineral density to decrease and increase the risk of osteoporosis. The elderly are already fragile and should be avoided.
In the digestive system, alum may irritate the gastric mucosa. Long-term exposure can easily cause gastritis, gastric ulcer and other diseases. If accidentally ingested in excess, it may cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and other symptoms.
Furthermore, the use of alum in food processing can improve the taste and appearance, but at the cost of health. Businesses pursue profits or add excessive amounts, resulting in consumer health damage.
To sum up, although alum has many advantages in life, its health risks should not be underestimated. The world should be aware of its harm and use it with caution. Food regulators should also strictly supervise the use of alum in food processing to ensure people's healthy diet.
