First of all, long-term intake of food rich in edible essence may lead to liver cell damage, abnormal liver function, hepatitis and other diseases. At the same time, the excessive use of edible essence may also produce toxicity to the kidney system and reproductive system, resulting in a decrease in the number of sperm, a decrease in sperm activity and a disorder in the regulation of sex hormones. In addition, some synthetic food flavors, such as artificial flavors and margarine, may increase the risk of cancer.
However, the content of edible essence in food produced by regular manufacturers is generally within the safe range and will not cause great harm to human health. Therefore, in daily life, we need to pay attention to the diversity of diet, and don't eat too much food containing food flavors, especially synthetic food flavors. At the same time, for children and adolescents during their growth and development, they should try to eat less food containing too many edible flavors so as not to affect their health.
