Can you still drink peppermint candies with cola
You can drink it, but it may cause discomfort.
Coke and Mentos mints together can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, I believe that many of the relatives who like to surf the Internet have heard of the mints into the Coke, Coke from the mouth of the bottle gushing out more than a meter of shocking images. Some people say that when a foreigner eats mints and then drinks Coke, a large amount of Coke spews out of his mouth, and the foreigner falls to the ground and covers his stomach in great pain. But in fact, this phenomenon in the human body generally does not occur, because when you eat sugar, put the sugar in the mouth, through chewing and saliva, the sugar surface will immediately be destroyed, so the carbon dioxide in carbonated beverages encountered will not produce a large number of bubbles. So the concern that mints with cola will kill you can be eliminated.
Why mints with cola will explode
Mints with cola will react mainly with a kind of mints called Mentos. This mint candy has a loose appearance, easily absorbs water, and contains hydrochloric acid in its additives, and when it meets the carbon dioxide in all carbonated beverages, such as Coca-Cola, it undergoes a kind of leaching action that produces a large amount of bubbles, which is the reason why Coke gushes out of the top of the bottle.
What happens if you eat too much mints
First of all, it can cause various oral diseases. Often eat a lot of mints is going to stimulate the oral mucosa, and even cause redness, swelling and erosion of the oral skin, causing a series of oral diseases, and even lead to oral pre-cancerous lesions. In addition, although mint sugar has an anti-inflammatory effect on respiratory diseases, can make the skin capillary expansion, heat dissipation increased, but at the same time will also stimulate the oral mucosa, resulting in the thickening of the oral mucosal keratinization layer, the invasion of inflammatory bacteria, so that the oral mucosa is damaged.
In addition, mints eat more will accidentally eat a big fat oh! This is because the general calories of mints are very high, some studies have shown that 100 grams of edible mints of calories up to more than 400 calories, higher than the same quality of meat! So don't underestimate the energy of a small mint, it's not as high as fat pork!
How many mints are appropriate to eat every day
Not too many.
Peppermint sugar is also sugar, eat more easy to cause high blood sugar, peppermint sugar nature of cold. It is not suitable for those who have wind-cold exterior sensations. Mint has a stimulating effect on the oral mucosa, excessive consumption will damage the oral tissues, eat three to five pieces a day can be. Usually drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, try not to eat spicy stimulating food.
