The harm of eating fake salt;
Generally, the main component of salt is sodium chloride, and some iodized salt contains a small amount of potassium iodate, which is beneficial to people. In fake salt, sodium chloride is often replaced by sodium nitrite. It can be used for coloring, seasoning and sterilization. Therefore, fake salt is generally used in industry.
Because sodium nitrite (nanometer? ) It is salty and very cheap, so this chemical is usually put in fake salt, but sodium nitrite is toxic, so it is generally only used in industry. But the recent outflow of fake salt actually contains sodium nitrite, which is very toxic and can cause cancer!
Eating fake salt is very harmful, because fake salt does not add iodine, which will lead to iodine deficiency, gastrointestinal dysfunction and nervous system damage. Lack of iodine in human body will cause 10% to 20% mental decline, which will seriously lead to emaciation or dementia.
The appearance of industrial salt is very similar to salt. On the surface, it is thin and white, but its composition is quite different. Among the components of industrial salt, sodium nitrite is a toxic chronic carcinogen. If the human body ingests 0.3 to 0.5 grams of sodium nitrite, it will cause poisoning. If you take too much, it will lead to respiratory and circulatory failure and death. Sodium nitrite is extremely harmful to human health and is forbidden to eat.
If you eat edible salt that pretends to be industrial salt, the harm will be even greater. There will be dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, general weakness and other symptoms. It is understood that industrial salt is mainly used in alkali making, boiler soft water, dyes, soap and washing powder, feed processing and other fields, which is harmful to the edible field.
