Is sugar steamed eggs poisonous?

The rumor that steamed eggs with white sugar can poison people is just an absurd rumor with no basis. Eggs and white sugar can be eaten together, otherwise foods like egg cakes would have disappeared long ago.

The saying that steamed eggs with white sugar can poison people originated from a folk rumor that an old grandmother used saccharin instead of white sugar and steamed eggs for her grandson to eat. As a result, the grandson died after eating the steamed eggs with saccharin. It is difficult to judge whether this story is true or false. Anyway, it has been passed around as a rumor that steamed eggs with white sugar can be poisonous to death.

It’s true that saccharin is something that should not be consumed, but consuming it in small amounts will definitely not be poisonous to the point of killing people (a little more will make it terribly bitter, and children will not eat it at all), because the author himself grew up drinking saccharin water.

Our family was very poor when we were children, and whoever had a bag of white sugar or brown sugar was considered to be living a good life. When it was hot in summer, we would bring empty wine bottles filled with well water to school. We would put two grains of saccharin in them. When the saccharin dissolved, it would become sweet sugar water. We would drink this water when we were thirsty, from elementary school to junior high school.

Since then, there have been rumors that saccharin and eggs can be poisonous to people. There are different opinions. Some say that boiled eggs with saccharin will be poisonous, while others say that scrambled eggs with white sugar will be poisonous. Rumors aside, we still drink saccharin water, but we just don't dare eat eggs with saccharin or sugar.

We won’t discuss whether saccharin steamed eggs can poison people, because saccharin is not edible. The country has already banned the addition of saccharin to food, so it is meaningless to discuss this issue further. Next, let’s talk about the enemy, sugar and eggs.

Those who believe that eating sugar and eggs together is poisonous argue that if sugar and eggs are heated and cooked together, the protein in the eggs will combine with the sugar to form glycosyl lysine, which will not only reduce the nutritional value of the eggs, but also cause blood coagulation, which will cause harm after being absorbed by the body.

However, friends who have studied chemistry should know that this chemical reaction definitely requires certain conditions. When heating sugar and eggs at the same time, to what temperature and for how long should they be heated to produce such a chemical reaction? Will such a reaction occur without a catalyst? These questions have no scientific basis at all.

Putting aside these scientific things for now, I want to ask you a question that even a fool can answer: Can eating cake poison people? Obviously not! However, cakes are made with eggs and sugar, and the baking temperature is over 100 degrees, which is much higher than the temperature for steaming and boiling eggs.

After thinking about this problem clearly, I think the saying that steamed eggs with white sugar can be poisonous and that eggs and white sugar cannot be eaten together should be self-defeating.
