What to do if you are allergic to cream

Allergy is a very common phenomenon. Since everyone's physical fitness is different, the things they are allergic to are also different. Some people are allergic to some fruits, some are allergic to some foods, and some are allergic to cream. If your child is allergic to cream, try to avoid letting your child come into contact with cream-related things in the future. In fact, you can also take your child to the hospital for desensitization treatment. You must observe your baby carefully at ordinary times.

Cream cakes sold on the market are popular among people because of their delicate taste and the ability to be processed into various exquisite patterns. But in fact, eating cream cakes frequently is not good for the healthy growth of teenagers.

Professor Lin Xingrun, a member of the Expert Committee of the China Health Association, told reporters that these cakes are basically made with vegetable butter, because vegetable butter costs about 80 yuan per barrel, while animal butter costs more than 300 yuan per barrel, which is nearly four times more expensive. These vegetable butters are a type of margarine, which contains trans fatty acids. Trans fatty acids are more harmful than saturated fatty acids. Eating them once in a while is not a big deal, but eating them frequently greatly increases the harm:

It will increase the level of low-density lipoprotein (bad protein) cholesterol in the blood, while reducing the level of high-density lipoprotein (good protein) cholesterol that can prevent heart disease, increasing the risk of coronary heart disease;

Increased blood viscosity promotes thrombosis, accelerates atherosclerosis, and increases the incidence of diabetes and breast cancer;

Affects the growth and development of fetuses, infants, and adolescents, has adverse effects on the development of the central nervous system, and inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins;

Induce diseases such as tumors, asthma, allergies, etc.

In addition, Professor Lin said that in order to increase the attractiveness of the cake's appearance, make the color more beautiful and the taste more delicate, cakes often contain excessive amounts of pigments and emulsifiers. Excessive use of these additives is harmful to health.

The intake of trans fatty acids in the diet of Chinese residents is alarming. 40% of foods on the market contain trans fatty acids. In addition to cream cakes, biscuits, fast food, convenience foods, potato chips, condiments, peanut butter and other foods also contain trans fatty acids.

Trans fatty acids have been strictly restricted abroad. Denmark began to set limits on trans fatty acids in food in 2003. The United States also stipulated at the beginning of this year that the content of trans fatty acids must be indicated on food packaging.

my country's food safety department has not yet formulated corresponding standards to regulate the use of trans fatty acids by food production companies. Professor Lin emphasized that in this case, the safest way is to limit cream cakes to the "birthday table" and it is best to eat less or not eat them at other times.
