Tapioca starch is not harmful to the body if you eat too much. Processed tapioca starch are almost no harm to the human body, because the toxic substances have been removed during processing.
Tapioca is a poisonous plant, its toxicity for the whole plant is toxic, to the fresh tuberous root toxicity, poisoning symptoms of light nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, severe respiratory distress, rapid heartbeat, pupil dilation, to coma, and finally convulsions, shock, death due to respiratory failure, so eat tapioca can not be greedy, pay attention to the correct way to eat. After such processing of cassava is safe to eat. Because the processing of toxic substances have been removed.
The benefits of cassava starch:
1, cassava is very rich in potassium, hypertensive patients eat more cassava, can effectively inhibit the rise in blood pressure. Cassava in the dietary fiber can stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, accelerate the excretion of feces and toxins in the body, play the role of intestinal detoxification. The zinc in cassava can promote the intellectual development of the brain and prevent Alzheimer's disease.
2, cassava fat content is low, starch and calcium, potassium, zinc and other elements of higher content, often eat not only does not lead to malnutrition, and can delay the premature emergence of obesity. Cassava in the lysine and tryptophan accounted for a larger proportion, help to promote the synthesis of fatty acids in the human body, to avoid the children's body stunting. Cassava in the non-protein nitrogen can soften the blood vessel wall, increase the toughness of the blood vessel wall, prevent blood vessel hardening and rupture.

< Expanded Information: Other Uses of Tapioca Starch: 1.Making Candy: Tapioca raw starch and all kinds of modified starch in candy production have many Uses, such as gelling, thickening, control of crystallization, bonding, film-forming, adding luster. Low viscosity tapioca starch is widely used in gelatinized candies, such as jelly and chewing gum. The most commonly used is acid starches because of their excellent reversibility and gelling ability, which are more pronounced when exposed to sugar. Dry starch is used as a mold release agent in candy making. Starch-based polysaccharides enable the production of sugar-free chewing gum. 2, the production of drugs and cosmetics: Tapioca starch and modified starch can be used as binder, bulking agent and disintegrating agent in the production of tablets. Special modified starch can be used as emollient carrier, usually this kind of emollient is mineral oil-based substances. Other modified starches can be used as emulsifiers, sealing agents (vitamins), styling agents (hair mousse) and thickening agents (shampoo shampoo). 3, the production of biodegradable materials: Tapioca original starch and modified starch can be mixed with petroleum-based or synthetic polymer materials to improve the biodegradability of the material, thus minimizing the production cost of such environmentally friendly materials. /baike.baidu.com/item/%E6%9C%A8%E8%96%AF%E6%B7%80%E7%B2%89/726083?fr=aladdin "target="_blank "title="Baidu Encyclopedia - Tapioca" >Baidu Encyclopedia - Tapioca Starch < /p>
