Many people believe that taking health care products is good for health, but Evan Levine, a cardiologist at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, recently warned that some vitamins and plant extract supplements may cause long-term damage to heart and liver, and may even increase heart disease and risk of disease.
According to MSN reports, the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) statistics show that more than 800,000 Americans suffer from heart disease or medium-spray every year, and about 5 million people suffer from liver disease of varying degrees, of which nearly 60,000 people die from liver failure. When interviewed by DailyMail.com, Dr. Levin said that some of the seemingly beneficial capsules and additives may actually bring potential harm.
{}Among them, Niacin (also known as vitamin B3) is very important for many functions of the human body, including energy resonance, neural system operation, skin and digestive system adjustment. Foods such as red meat, fish, brown rice, fruits, seeds, beans and bananas are the sources of this vitamin. Although tobacco acid helps reduce pyrosterol and relieves inflammation, excessive intake may cause cardiac inflammation and damage blood vessels, according to doctors Levine.
As for green tea extract, it contains rich antioxidants, which can help the heart, liver and brain health, and can also reduce cancer risks. Experts point out that the active ingredients of a green tea extract capsule are equivalent to the content of a cup of ordinary green tea. However, Dr. Laiwen also reminded that if the green tea extract is taken over, it may have toxic effects on the liver, especially for blood, bleeding, cardiac disease, diabetes, glaucoma and pre-existing liver problems.
In addition, the non-heat-free sweeteners erythritol and xylitol are widely used in keto-friendly snacks and sugar-free chewing gum. The latter are commonly seen in mouthwash and toothpaste. The above additives can also be found in some plants and fruits. Although these two sweeteners help control blood sugar and improve oral health in diabetic patients, studies have shown that the two may cause thrombosis and cardiovascular disease. Dr. Levin said, "Erythritol and xylitol are common sugar substitutes that promote platelet aggregation in the body, thereby increasing the risk of thrombosis and cardiovascular events."
Finally, he reminded that some gel capsules contain plasticizers (salt phthalate, phthalate, phthalate, ates) can make the plastic soft, flexible and more durable, making it easier to shape and withstand various environmental conditions, but studies have pointed out that this chemical compound will stimulate movement after entering the body, causing vascular inflammation, making blood difficult to flow, thereby increasing the risk of heart disease and medium wind. Therefore, he suggested that the public should take this type of soft capsule as much as possible, including common painkillers, various vitamins, softening agents and cold medicines.
