Nowadays, there are more and more ways to package and present food. We can see many very novel things when eating. For example, in many restaurants, some dishes are wrapped in tin foil. Of course, this Nowadays, it is quite common, but some restaurants even directly use "gold" for packaging. This is still rare to see. Of course, it is not real gold, but edible gold foil made of gold.

First of all, let’s explain whether there will be any problems with eating gold foil. Let’s first understand it. The material of gold foil is indeed gold. The gold foil we see in restaurants is very thin, usually only 0.12 microns. , any touch or even a gust of wind could destroy it and cause it to dissipate. Some people may have doubts. The cost should be very high if it is made of gold. As long as the size and weight are not large, a small amount of gold will not do any harm to the human body. The gold foil is usually a thin layer, so even if it is eaten into the stomach, it will not cause any harm, because it will be excreted intact by then. In fact, as early as 1983, the World Health Organization had listed gold as an edible food additive.

Of course, although gold foil is edible, as we said before, this is because gold will not be digested at all. In other words, although gold foil will not cause any harm to the body, it will also not produce any benefits to the human body. Therefore, eating gold foil can maintain health, or applying gold foil to the face can beautify, etc. are actually fake.

In modern times, gold is included in the scope of food additives around the world, and gold foil is also a material recognized by China that can be used in food and is edible, so its safety is guaranteed, and The properties of gold are very stable. You will still excrete the same amount after you eat it. It will not react in your body at all, let alone cause any harm, so there is no need to worry about this.
