Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, everyone. I'm Yan. Adding various additives to food is nothing new, such as gelatin added to jelly we often eat.

Or the colorful pigments in popsicles.

However, some media recently revealed that the pastries sold by Starbucks in China contain the raw material of rubber soles, and if too much of this raw material is ingested, it will cause asthma harm to the human body, and in serious cases, it will also cause cancer. At present, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Europe and other places have been banned, but Starbucks stores in China still use these raw materials. Is the stomach of the Chinese stronger?

After the media exposure, Starbucks also generously admitted that the pastries sold in China did contain the raw materials of rubber soles. This raw material is called azodicarbonamide, a yellow powder that is often used in industry to make yoga mats, rubber soles and other items to increase the elasticity of products. It can also be used in the food industry to increase the strength and toughness of the dough and make the pastry look better.

However, as the saying goes: "It is a medicine with three points of poison", so the maximum use of this raw material in the food industry is 0.045g/kg. Starbucks said that although it did add azodicarbonamide to its pastries, it did not exceed national safety standards. So you can eat it with confidence…

Although it was true that he said that, he still felt his heart tingle. In order to prevent the world from being destroyed, in order to protect world peace ~ A Yan felt that it might be better to develop another additive_after eating, all the industrial raw materials that had been ingested could be discharged. This way, children's shoes with rubber sole materials added can pull out these materials. Maybe even a new pair of shoes. haha.
