Decreased renal function: Under normal circumstances, protein, a plant that people eat in the body, undergoes metabolic changes, and finally most of it becomes nitrogen-containing waste, which is excreted by the kidneys. When people get old, the ability of kidneys to excrete waste decreases. At this time, if people do not pay attention to diet, eat a lot of cocoa butter and take in too much plant protein, it will inevitably increase the nitrogen-containing waste produced in the body, increase the burden on the kidneys, and further reduce the renal function, which is not conducive to health.
Promote the formation of arteriosclerosis: American medical experts point out that cocoa butter substitutes are extremely rich in methionine, which can be converted into cysteine under the action of enzymes. Cysteine can damage endothelial cells of arterial wall, and it is easy to deposit cholesterol and triglyceride on arterial wall, thus promoting the formation of arteriosclerosis.
Lead to iodine deficiency: The raw material for making cocoa butter substitutes contains a substance called saponin, which can not only prevent atherosclerosis, but also promote the excretion of iodine in human body. Long-term excessive consumption of cocoa butter substitutes can easily lead to iodine deficiency and iodine deficiency disorders.
Causes indigestion: Cocoa butter substitutes are rich in protein. Eating too much at a time not only hinders the absorption of iron, but also easily leads to protein's indigestion, abdominal distension, diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms.
