Can a one-year-old baby eat fried dough sticks?

In our country, most people love to eat fried dough sticks, especially in the northern region. A bowl of soy milk with a few fried dough sticks is a normal form of breakfast. Although fried dough sticks are not a very healthy food, many people eat them every day and they can't get enough of them. In fact, there are many flavors of fried dough sticks, such as chopped green onion, syrup, and salty. It is okay for a one-year-old baby who has already grown teeth to eat some fried dough sticks, but not too much.

During the processing of fried dough sticks, puffing additives containing aluminum, such as alum and soda, are added. Studies have shown that excessive intake of aluminum sulfate can cause chronic damage to the central nervous system, and excessive doses can increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease.

In addition, excessive aluminum sulfate can also increase the risk of heart disease and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

According to the requirements of the World Health Organization, a person weighing 50 kg should not consume more than 50 mg of aluminum per day. According to relevant national food standards, the aluminum content in food cannot exceed 100 mg/Kg. Based on this estimate, eating two fried dough sticks a day will not have a significant impact on the health of a normal person.

But the problem is that there are always some processors who do not strictly follow national regulations when it comes to the addition of aluminum content, resulting in frequent incidents of aluminum content exceeding the standard in fried dough sticks, making fried dough sticks increasingly synonymous with dangerous food. Therefore, you should be cautious when eating fried dough sticks, and avoid eating foods with high aluminum content, such as vermicelli, after eating fried dough sticks. Eating it with vegetables and whole grains can interfere with the absorption of aluminum. In addition, children's nervous system is in the development period, so they should eat less. Aluminum may affect the development of the fetus's nervous system, so pregnant women should eat less. The metabolic capacity of the elderly decreases, so it is better for them to eat less.
