High salt content: Salted sea cucumber requires the use of a large amount of salt in the production process, thus salted sea cucumber has a high salt content. High salt intake may have adverse effects on human health, such as increasing the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and kidney disease.
Contains nitrite: Salted sea cucumbers may contain nitrite, a common food additive used to prevent bacterial growth and maintain the color of food. However, nitrites are converted into substances such as nitrite and nitrosamines in the body, which may have potentially harmful effects on human health, such as carcinogenic effects.
