    One of the busiest things that everyone has to say recently is why good food goes bad?

    This is actually because these molds are highly pathogenic and are the root cause of many diseases


    There must be many people who think that there is only such a small piece of long hair on the fruit, and it is a pity to throw away the whole.


    The answer is: no!

    Because spoiled food, the number of harmful bacteria will increase dramatically, common harmful bacteria such as Salmonella, Vibrio cholerae, can cause serious digestive tract disease, symptoms from the most common diarrhea, high fever, to more severe dehydration, coma or even death


    In addition, after the fungi and bacteria in the spoiled food are metabolized, they will produce some toxins that are harmful to the human body.


    With the original intention of saving and not wasting, some people often treat raw spoiled food before eating


    So, in our daily life, in addition to the fruits, potatoes, and sweet potatoes just mentioned, which other foods are prone to mildew and spoilage?

    1.


    Rotten ginger will produce flavonoids, and mildewed and rotten ginger cannot be eaten


    2.


    There are many types of nuts, such as walnuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, almonds, peach kernels, cashews, pistachios, etc.


    3.


    If there are some red sticky substances on the surface of the dried salted fish, it means that the food has been spoiled, and it is the result of the reproduction of microorganisms on the fish


    4.


    For example, the color of the food turns yellow-green, and it looks fluffy, and the surface will also be damaged and shriveled


    5.


    Sugarcane mold will produce a neurotoxin that damages the human central nervous system and digestive system


    Of course, in addition to the above, there are also meat, soy products, peanuts, bread, cakes, rice, steamed buns, etc.


    Plus, even high heat won't kill mold and toxins
    .
    In our understanding, high-temperature heating can indeed sterilize and disinfect, but it is not necessarily effective for the mold and toxins produced by the deterioration, so once the food is moldy and deteriorated, it is best to discard it
