However, in the face of mountains of moon cakes at home, many citizens just regard eating moon cakes as their daily task. They eat moon cakes for breakfast and afternoon tea. Some people even take a moon cake back to work for lunch at noon. Experts remind that moon cakes are high in sugar, oil and fat, and eating too much is extremely harmful to the body. For patients with gallstones, cholecystitis and gastrointestinal diseases, eating moon cakes may also induce the onset of diseases. There is a lot of cholesterol and oil in low-sugar moon cakes. Although many manufacturers are now promoting low-sugar moon cakes, on the surface, the sugar content has decreased, but the cholesterol and oil content have not decreased at all. Moreover, although there is no monosaccharide in the filling of sugar-free moon cakes, the skin of the moon cakes is still made of wheat and other flour and rice, so diabetics should be careful to eat them, and at the same time deduct the intake of flour and rice on the same day according to their own intake of moon cakes. It is worth noting that sugar alcohol sweeteners used in sugar-free moon cakes will cause diarrhea if eaten too much, and the reduction of sugar will lead to an increase in oil content, which is more likely to aggravate the symptoms of stones. In addition, teenagers should pay more attention if they have gallstones. Eating too many moon cakes may cause acute pancreatitis. The symptom of this disease is severe abdominal pain, which may be life-threatening if you don't see a doctor in time. Similarly, patients with gastrointestinal diseases should be careful when eating moon cakes. If they eat too much, they will cause heartburn, acid reflux and other uncomfortable symptoms. A moon cake = 6 cups of milk. Chronic patients should be careful. For most people, moon cakes are harmless, but for patients with cholecystitis, gallstones, diabetes, hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases and gastrointestinal diseases, moon cakes are not good things. Because moon cakes are high-fat and high-calorie foods, a medium-sized moon cake contains more calories than two bowls of rice, and the fat can be equivalent to six cups of whole milk. Moreover, the content of fat, sugar and cholesterol in moon cakes is extremely high. Eating too much at a time will lead to high blood sugar and indigestion, and it will also stimulate the gallbladder and cause gallstones. This is because after eating a lot of greasy and sweet moon cakes, the human body needs to secrete more bile to digest these foods. If the secreted bile cannot be emptied in time, it is easy to form stones if it stays in the gallbladder. Too much sugar will automatically turn into fat, leading to obesity. Hyperlipidemia, metabolic abnormality and obesity are all risk factors for gallstones, especially for obese middle-aged women. Don't eat moon cakes more than 1/4 at a time. Even for healthy people without any diseases, eating a quarter of moon cakes at a time is almost enough, not more than half at most. In addition, some experts pointed out that moon cakes can be divided into five categories from the health point of view: high-fat moon cakes: representative: lotus seed cakes and egg yolk moon cakes. People suffering from cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, hepatobiliary diseases, gallstones, cholecystitis and pancreatitis are not suitable for eating. High-sugar moon cakes: Representative: Wuren moon cakes and bean paste moon cakes. Contains a lot of sucrose, which may cause pulpitis for people with dental caries. Sugar-free moon cakes: representative: sugar-free coconut moon cakes, sugar-free bean paste moon cakes and sugar-free black sesame moon cakes. Although there is no sucrose in the stuffing, the mooncake skin is made of flour and rice, so diabetics should be careful. High-energy moon cakes: representative: ice cream moon cakes, coffee moon cakes and chocolate moon cakes. "Three highs" and obese people should eat carefully. Fruit and vegetable moon cakes: representative: pumpkin moon cakes, laver moon cakes, laver moon cakes, tea-melted moon cakes and matcha moon cakes. Sugar is high, and diabetics should be careful to eat it. One day, after eating a moon cake, gallstones recurred. The Mid-Autumn Festival has not yet arrived this year, but when it comes to the experience of being hospitalized for eating moon cakes last year, Aunt Zhao, 58, still has a lingering fear. Aunt Zhao's son is a civil servant and her daughter-in-law is a teacher. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, her home is always full of moon cakes sent by others. Last Mid-Autumn Festival, Aunt Zhao, who had just retired from her hometown in Henan, came to Guangzhou to take refuge in her son. The first time she tasted Cantonese-style moon cakes, she found them delicious. In addition, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and more and more moon cakes are piled up at home. Aunt Zhao was worried that mooncakes could not be eaten after the shelf life, so she began to eat mooncakes as breakfast and afternoon tea every day. "At most, she eats one almost every day." Aunt Zhao said that she ate like this for about a week. One morning, when Aunt Zhao took out the moon cake again to cook porridge, she just ate half of it. Suddenly, she felt a stomachache and her face was wrong. Her son rushed to the hospital and was examined by a urologist. The reason is that Aunt Zhao ate too many moon cakes, which led to the recurrence of gallstones.
