When Xiao Zhang was resting at home yesterday, was suddenly cleaned up by his old mother, because the old mother blamed him for buying Here comes the hormonal egg. Xiao Zhang’s mother said with a serious face that this kind of egg is very harmful to the human body, so be careful when buying it in the future!

Xiao Zhang was puzzled to tell the truth. When he came to work the next day, he asked his colleagues: “This hormone egg is really Is it so harmful? How can we distinguish this kind of egg?”

In daily life, eggs can be said to be indispensable The same ingredients, daily protein supplementation, very cost-effective. And the word hormone, often people are nervous when they hear it, for fear that one day they will be hit by hormones and eat bad things. Once these two things are combined, many people are expected to be nervous for days. So today I will take you to understand the so-called hormone eggs, as well as those hormones that we usually need to be careful about.

I. Are there really hormone eggs?

Let’s take a look at what the so-called “hormone eggs” are like on the Internet? There has always been such a saying on the Internet that soft eggshells, light yolks, loose yolks, and double-yolked eggs are most likely to have hormones added. Eggs are usually avoided. So is it really so? Let’s talk one by one.

First, the eggshell is softer. The main component of egg shells is actually calcium carbonate. The softness and hardness of the egg shell is actually closely related to the chicken feed. If the chicken feed lacks calcium, phosphorus or the ratio of calcium and phosphorus is out of balance, it may lead to insufficient calcium in the hens, resulting in softer eggs. Even too little sun exposure for the hens can cause the eggshells to soften. So based on this, it cannot be said that this egg is a hormone egg.

The second is the light yolk. The principle of egg yolk color is actually very simple, that is, it has something to do with several vitamins, such as carotene and vitamin B2, which will cause the color of eggs to change. Generally speaking, if the hen usually eats a lot of green leaves, it will have more carotene in its body, and its egg yolk will be darker in color. Therefore, in fact, the color of the egg yolk is related to what kind of food the chicken eats. Light color does not mean that there are hormones.

The second is the egg loose yellow. In fact, there are many factors that can cause eggs to become loose and yellow. If the egg is bumpy in transit, it may cause the yolk to spread. In addition, if the egg is stored for a long time, the water will slowly penetrate into the yolk, and the yolk will become larger and larger, which will break the egg membrane, and the yolk will spread. Therefore, loose yolk eggs are not caused by hormones.

The last is the double-yolked egg. In fact, there is no need to make a fuss about double-yolked eggs. This is really just a difference in the number of eggs ovulated by the hen. When a hen lays two eggs at a time, double-yolked eggs will naturally appear, and sometimes even triple-yolked eggs will appear. Moreover, double-yolked eggs are purely a matter of probability. The double-yolked eggs caused by steroids will not bring more benefits, so the probability of hormonal eggs is very small.

And it can also give everyone a reassurance. Even black-hearted merchants want to get more double-yolked eggs by taking hormones. This hormone also affects only the hens themselves, not the eggs. So for the few double-yolked eggs, you can eat them with confidence.

Seeing this, some readers may have questions. Since these methods have no way to distinguish whether it is a hormone egg, do we have any other way to distinguish? The answer here is actually quite pessimistic. Even if there are black-hearted merchants who use hormones to increase the production of eggs, there is no difference in appearance and taste of eggs, and it is very difficult to distinguish.

So after reading this article, don’t listen to the so-called short video to teach you to distinguish hormone eggs, Except for hormone testing of eggs by professional testing institutions, other methods are actually alarmist.

Second, there is no need to worry too much

I hear some here Readers may be more worried. If there is no way to check the hormone eggs, what should we do if we unknowingly eat a lot? In fact, as long as you buy eggs from regular channels, you basically don’t have to worry about this problem. I said these two points, you can rest assured after reading it.

1. Hormone is not cost-effective

If unscrupulous merchants want to use hormones to increase the production of chickens, it will increase a lot of related costs, and often this cost cannot be recovered in terms of production. And even if the production of eggs is increased in a short period of time, it will greatly damage the body of the chicken, which belongs to the behavior of “killing the chicken to get the eggs”.

2. No need for hormones

Through modern scientific methods, if a businessman wants to increase production, he only needs to choose high-yielding varieties and a good growing environment. In order to increase the egg production rate or increase the egg production rate of double yolk eggs, it is completely unnecessary. What’s more, this kind of behavior is against the law in our country, and taking this risk is completely a loss-making business.

So what we can do at present, is to buy in regular channels or large supermarkets , This is actually very safe, so don’t worry too much.

Third, there are hormones in life

Since there are no hormones in eggs, What other things do we really need to pay attention to in our daily life? Next, I will introduce to you the hormone-containing things that are harmful to the body that we may encounter in our daily life.

1. Three No Health Products

With the continuous improvement of our living standards, our pursuit of health is also getting higher and higher. Especially for middle-aged people, it is a very common health care measure to buy some health care products to make them feel better. But if you choose the health care products of Sanwu, you will not only lose money, but you may also lose your body.

In 2018, CCTV once focused on a large number of news of fake and shoddy health care products. Some health supplements may only be pretentious, and they will not cause harm to the body. However, some health supplements, in order to counterfeit the”Magic curative effect”, not hesitate to add prohibited items that are harmful to the human body, to deceive and deceive buyers.

These illegal drugs may be harmful to the body in mild cases and life-threatening in serious cases.

For example, some supplements that claim to have anti-fatigue properties may include the hormone sildenafil. Although this substance does temporarily make people feel refreshed and even enhances sexual performance, if it is used as a health care product for a long time, it may cause kidney deficiency and premature ejaculation, and even lead to impotence and infertility.

So be careful when choosing health products, Share three points to buy health products You have to pay attention, let everyone avoid the three non-health products. The following three tricks are very useful, but keep them in mind.

(1) Go to regular places to buy health products

Where is the easiest place to buy Sanwu health supplements? There is no doubt that it must be in an informal place. These informal places sometimes sell some low-quality Sanwu products for economic benefit, which not only makes you lose money, but also loses your body. So pay special attention to check the business license and food business license of the business. For the promotion and advertising content of sales staff, we must treat it rationally and do not blindly follow.

(2) Whether there is a “little blue cap” on the package

This trick is mainly to see if there is a health food logo of the State Food and Drug Administration on the outer packaging of the product. Sometimes we refer to it colloquially as the “little blue hat”. Only with this mark can it be counted as a nationally recognized health food. If not, don’t buy it. If you still feel uneasy, you can check whether there is a health food approval from the State Food and Drug Administration on the package. You can check it online and you can rest assured.

(3) Five Vigilances

If these keywords appear in business promotion, you must be vigilant. They are: medicine to cure, health lecture, free service, authoritative certificate, expert free consultation. These words either advertise miraculous effects, or pretend to be authoritative experts to provide services and deceive trust. Therefore, if you often see these words in publicity, you must be careful, and it is very likely that you have purchased a bunch of “health products” that are not known to be true or false.

2. Inferior cosmetics, skin care products

With the continuous improvement of living standards, people’s pursuit of appearance is also becoming higher and higher, and many people will buy cosmetics and skin care products to make themselves look more beautiful. However, there are still some inferior cosmetics and skin care products made by black-hearted merchants on the market. In order to create a good effect, these cosmetics do not hesitate to add hormones that will harm the body.

For example, it is normal to add lead and mercury to cosmetics. Adding some mercury to skin care products can inhibit the production of tyrosine by melanocytes, thereby achieving a whitening effect. Mercury is a very useful whitening agent in the eyes of many cosmetic manufacturers, the effect is fast, and the price is still cheap. If the content does not exceed the standard, it is actually fine to add it to cosmetics.

However, some unscrupulous merchants add excessive mercury to cosmetics for the sake of good effect and cost reduction. In this way, the harm of mercury is greatly magnified. Not only can it cause skin damage, but it also greatly increases the likelihood of developing skin cancer. If used for a long time, it may also damage the central nervous system and cause nerve damage.debilitating phenomenon. Due to the toxicity of mercury, it can also damage the liver. It can be said to be endless troubles.

There is also a very common lead. Adding lead to makeup can make the color of the makeup more vivid and last longer. And like mercury, it also has a rapid whitening effect, which can make melanin disappear in a short period of time. But if it is used for a long time, it will cause chronic poisoning and cause the skin to become darker, which is not worth the gain.

Similarly, how should we buy compliant cosmetics? Here I will teach you 3 more tricks, so that you will no longer step on the pit when buying cosmetics.

(1) Purchase in regular places

Similar to buying health care products, it is more worry-free and safe to go to regular places to buy cosmetics or skin care products. For example, places with formal business licenses such as supermarkets and department stores, or purchasing on formal e-commerce platforms can make your shopping a lot easier. These shopping malls generally have strict supervision mechanisms, and they generally display large-brand and reliable cosmetics, and it is difficult to buy fake and shoddy products.

(2) Query product registration information

< strong>If you are more cautious and still feel uneasy in big shopping malls, you can check the product information of cosmetics. The country has made a unified filing for cosmetics and skin care products. Through the official website of the State Food and Drug Administration or the mobile APP under the supervision of cosmetics, you can check the product filing status of cosmetics and skin care products. If there is no or the information is not unified, then don’t buy it, there must be a problem.

(3) Do not trust advertising

< strong>Don’t be blind to some advertisements launched by businesses or online. Some products may be priced lower than the market. At this time, you must be vigilant and check more relevant information for comparison. Things that are too cheap are likely to be a pit, don’t forget it.

3. Hormonal Drugs

Many medicines for the treatment of infections or skin diseases may contain hormones, so they must be used with care. Common hormonal drugs include methylprednisolone, betamethasone, etc. These drugs are used in many aspects such as anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive. For example, if someone has allergies or the patient has an autoimmune disease, it is very likely that such drugs will be given.

But it must be noted that although these drugs are effective, they come at the expense of adding hormones. It must be used with caution under the doctor’s advice, and must not be used without authorization. There are countless side effects that can occur with long-term use of these drugs. May cause adrenaline rush, induce or even worsen infections in the body.

If you have children in your home, keep this medicine carefully out of the reach of children. In case of accidental ingestion, it must be sent to the hospital immediately for treatment. The stimulation of hormones to children’s bodies should not be underestimated.

Summary:

Hormones are actually in our lives It is present everywhere in our body, and our body also produces some of its own hormones. Not all hormones are bad for our bodies, and sometimes some hormones can make our bodies better. However, as the environment changes and food becomes more and more diverse, more and more chemical hormones or other hormones appear in our lives, and we need to be vigilant and carefully distinguish.

In daily life, health care products, cosmetics and skin care products, and medicines are the three types of things that are most likely to be polluted by hormones due to human reasons. . A lot of money interests always tempt some people to violate their conscience and morals and create harmful health care products and cosmetics. We must be vigilant.
