Soda crackers are a type of food from the United States, which is a small snack that is deeply loved by people in daily life. It contains sodium and fat and other nutritional ingredients, which have a certain ability to supplement human nutrition. However, eating soda crackers frequently can raise blood pressure, make it easy to gain weight, and contain potential carcinogens. Moreover, it is not suitable for breakfast as it is similar to dry food, lacking high-quality protein, and long-term use as breakfast is not good for health. People need to have a certain understanding of it in order to eat it in moderation, so breakfast should always be based on staple foods to ensure the intake of the necessary nutrients for healthy growth.

First, food characteristics

Compared with steamed buns, Taiping soda crackers have the following characteristics:

1. Because table salt is added, the sodium content increases;

2. Because refined mixed oil is added, the fat content increases;

3. Through high-temperature roasting, it makes prop

Second, food hazards

1. Raise blood pressure

Eating Taiping soda crackers increases sodium intake, which can raise blood pressure and worsen edema.

The relationship between salt (sodium chloride) and hypertension, nephrotic edema, hepatic edema, and heart failure is becoming increasingly clear. People with these diseases should limit the intake of salt or sodium, and adopt a low-salt diet (daily sodium intake not exceeding 2000 milligrams), a salt-free diet (daily sodium intake not exceeding 1000 milligrams), or a low-sodium diet (daily sodium intake not exceeding 500 milligrams). Since Taiping soda crackers contain a high amount of sodium, patients with hypertension, heart failure, and edema should not eat Taiping soda crackers.

2. Easy to gain weight

Eating Taiping soda crackers increases

In Taiping soda crackers, due to the addition of refined mixed oil, their fat content is much higher than that of steamed buns and other foods. A 100-gram steamed bun contains 1 gram of fat, while 100 grams of Taiping soda crackers contain 8 grams of fat. Consuming 100 grams of Taiping soda crackers is equivalent to consuming an additional 7 grams of fat, which is equivalent to an additional 63 calories of energy.

It can be seen that if you are afraid of weight gain, want to lose weight, or want to lower blood lipids, it is best not to eat Taiping soda biscuits at will. Eating Taiping soda biscuits will increase the intake of acrylamide, which may increase the risk of cancer.

3, Contains potential carcinogens

Modern research has proven that when starchy foods are cooked at high temperatures, in addition to producing unique flavors, they also produce a potential carcinogen recognized internationally – acrylamide. Approximately 200 micrograms of acrylamide are contained in 1000 grams of Taiping soda biscuits, far higher than the content in steamed buns (which almost do not contain acrylamide), but lower than that in fried potatoes (811 micrograms). Acrylamide can promote the formation of benign or malignant tumors and cause damage to the central and peripheral nervous systems. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified acrylamide as a potential carcinogen for humans. It should be made clear that acrylamide is a potential carcinogen for humans, but there is currently no evidence to indicate that consuming high-temperature cooked starchy foods will increase the incidence of cancer in humans. With the above three points, is it absolutely forbidden to eat Taiping soda biscuits? In fact, for healthy individuals (with moderate body type and no diseases) under the principle of balanced diet (ensuring sufficient fresh vegetables and fruits), it is permissible to eat Taiping soda biscuits 3 times a week, with each serving not exceeding 50 grams.

4, Not suitable for breakfast

Many urban young people are already familiar with the fact that skipping breakfast is harmful to health, but many office workers, due to tight schedules, rely on Taiping soda biscuits, bread, and other dry foods as their daily breakfast, simply having a bite before going to work. Nutrition experts claim that crispy Taiping soda biscuits, bread, and other dry foods are not suitable for breakfast, as they have experienced overnight consumption, with various digestive juices insufficiently secreted. Such dry foods, mainly composed of grains, lack high-quality protein and can only provide short-term energy.

Three, breakfast must include staple foods

Experts say that breakfast is the least likely meal to be converted into fat in a day, so it is necessary to consume staple foods.

The calories provided by breakfast account for 30% of the total daily intake, mainly supplied by staple foods. A lack of carbohydrate staple foods may lead to malnutrition. It is necessary to consume starchy foods, as grains can be quickly broken down into glucose, correcting the hypoglycemia after sleep. However, grain foods are digested quickly, and a feeling of hunger may arise 2-3 hours later, so it is also necessary to consume some foods rich in protein and fat, such as eggs, meat floss, and soy products.

Four, Taiping soda biscuits are not suitable for breakfast

Crispy Taiping soda biscuits, bread and other dry foods are not suitable for breakfast, as they often lead to a dry mouth and difficulty in swallowing. This is due to the overnight consumption, where various digestive juices have become insufficient. Such dry foods, mainly composed of grains, lack high-quality protein and can only provide short-term energy. Many office workers, due to time constraints, often eat breakfast while walking, which is detrimental to gastrointestinal health and digestion.
