Generally, fried food looks brown and lovely, and smells fragrant. Most adults like to eat it, but children should be cautious. Infants under 2 years old had better not eat, and children over 2 years old can only occasionally' eat or eat less'. The reason is: (1) The boiling point of oil is much higher than that of water, so frying food at high temperature will destroy almost all the vitamin B in food and lose nearly half of the vitamin B2. On the other hand, fried food contains high fat, and too much intake will make you feel full, which will reduce the intake of vegetables, fruits and other foods. Therefore, eating fried food will cause nutrient loss and imbalance. (2) Most fried foods contain less water, are hard, and are not easy to chew, while the digestive ability of children's gastrointestinal tract is weak and difficult to digest and absorb. In addition, protein and starch in fried food are wrapped in oil, which reduces the contact with protease or amylase, makes it difficult to digest, increases the burden of gastrointestinal tract, and easily causes indigestion, and children will feel stomach discomfort after eating. (3) The heat energy provided by fat in-day diet should account for 25%-30% of the total heat energy in the whole day. However, children who often eat fried food, the daily heat energy provided by fat obviously exceeds the above indicators, so it is easy to become obese. (4) The oil used for frying food will turn black and deteriorate after repeated use, and the repeated use of high-temperature oil will produce carcinogens, which is harmful to the health. Therefore, children should not eat fried food, but should use steaming and boiling methods to make food. [put away]
