Artificial eggs are not laid by hens, but are composed of some chemical components, which are not only inferior in nutritional value to real eggs, but also harmful in many aspects. The advent of artificial eggs has caused many questions. Because artificial eggs contain a lot of chemical elements, they are very harmful to human body. What are the hazards of artificial eggs?

What is an artificial egg? An artificial egg is an artificial egg made from other raw materials.

The main component of its eggshell is calcium carbonate, plus a small amount of gypsum. Egg white is mainly composed of resin, starch, coagulant, pigment and other chemicals, and egg yolk is made of pigment and resin. Although eating artificial eggs has little effect on human body, eating too much will hurt the stomach. Artificial eggs have been found in China, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Beijing, Tianjin, Hangzhou, Zhuhai, Qingdao and Handan.

From the shape, the artificial egg has no shell, just "artificial mayonnaise". "Artificial egg" was invented by Americans, which directly extracts nutrients from plants, so it is also called "artificial plant egg". It contains no gluten and cholesterol, has a low ratio of saturated fat, has a quarter more nutritional value than eggs, and has a longer storage time, but its price is only about half that of eggs.

The practice of artificial eggs is to pour a certain amount of sodium alginate into a basin of warm water and stir it into a protein-like object, mix it well with gelatin, and then add other chemicals such as sodium benzoate and alum to make protein, while egg yolk only adds some lemon yellow pigment, and then adds calcium chloride to mix and pour it into the mold to form an egg shape, resulting in a thin film of eggs. The eggshell is made of paraffin, gypsum powder, calcium carbonate and so on.

Can artificial eggs be eaten? Although there is no authoritative data on the impact of artificial eggs on human health, experts from Shanghai Renji Hospital said that even if the ingredients of artificial eggs are not immediately toxic to the human body, such as excessive intake of food additives caused by long-term consumption, it will also cause brain memory decline and may lead to senile hypochondriasis.

Artificial eggs are artificially synthesized eggs from other raw materials. The main component of its eggshell is calcium carbonate, plus a small amount of gypsum. Egg white is mainly composed of resin, starch, coagulant, pigment and other chemicals, and egg yolk is made of pigment and resin. These substances enter the human body and have some effects on the human body. Eating too much will hurt the stomach.

What are the hazards of artificial eggs Compared with real eggs, artificial eggs not only have no nutritional value, but also have adverse effects on human body. The chemical substances contained in them, such as artificial resin, pigment and coagulant (containing a lot of alum), are quite harmful to human body. A small amount of artificial eggs will not cause harm to human body, but long-term consumption will cause memory loss, dementia, anemia, osteoporosis and various gastrointestinal diseases.

Pan Jiarong, a senior experimenter at the School of Chemistry and Life Sciences of China Three Gorges University, said that artificial eggs are harmful to the human body because of their special ingredients.

Now you know that the long-term use of artificial eggs is harmful to your health, and the acid lactone and cellulose in artificial eggs will cause the imbalance of human metabolism and affect the normal hematopoietic function, so you must distinguish carefully when buying eggs at ordinary times, so that you can avoid these diseases and be responsible for your health.

Artificial eggs are the most harmful to human body, such as alum and pigment.

1, alum will not be discharged after being ingested by the human body, but will be permanently deposited in the human body.

2. Alum may kill brain cells and make people's brain tissue shrink, leading to symptoms such as dementia and memory loss.

3, artificial pigments, generally made of coal tar as raw materials, long-term intake of a large number of artificial pigments may lead to fertility decline, leading to fetal malformation, some pigments may be fatal, and mild harm may lead to diarrhea.

How to identify artificial eggs 1? First of all, you can look after the eggs under strong light and observe whether there are pores on the eggshell. Some are true, others are false. If you can't tell from the appearance, you can open an egg and see if there is a film on the inner shell of the egg. If there is no real egg, it is an artificial egg.

2. The shell of fake egg is brighter (but not obvious), and the real egg is darker. After being cooked and shelled, the fake egg looks rough, and the real egg is smoother. Have a taste, fake egg has a chemical smell, and real eggs have a faint smell.

3. There are also perforation marks at both ends of the artificial egg shell.

4. Artificial eggs will make noise when shaking, which is because water overflows from the coagulant.

5. Soon after the artificial egg is opened, the egg yolk and egg white will melt together. This is because the egg yolk and egg white are made of homogeneous raw materials.

6. When frying fake eggs, you will find that the yolk is naturally scattered without stirring. This is because the film wrapped with artificial egg yolk is cracked by heat.

7, tap gently, the sound of real eggs is crisp, fake egg voice is boring.

8. The cooked artificial egg has a light yolk color, and its texture is like protein. After pressing, it has no powder feeling of real eggs.
