What are the hazards of fruit ripening agents?

Many fruits sold on the market now are not naturally ripe, but ripened after using ripening agents. After people eat these fruits with ripening agents, their bodies will also absorb some of the ingredients of the ripening agents, which are not good for the human body. Today I will focus on talking about the hazards of fruit ripening agents. Let everyone also understand in detail the hazards of ripening agents to people.

The harm of fruit ripening agents to humans

1. Ripening agents can cause endocrine disorders

There are a large number of hormone components in ripening agents. These hormones not only accelerate the ripening of fruits, but also have some adverse effects on the human body. They can cause endocrine disorders and symptoms of endocrine disorders. Some women's infertility is caused by excessive absorption of fruit ripening agents.

2. Ripening agents are not good for children’s development

Ripening agents are particularly detrimental to the development of children because some of the hormone components in the ripening agents, after being absorbed by children's bodies, will accelerate the development of children's gonads and cause some children to have symptoms of precocious puberty, which is particularly detrimental to children's physical health.

3. Fruit ripening agents can affect the taste of fruits

The taste of some fruits will be greatly reduced after being ripened with ripening agents. For example, when bananas are fumigated with sulfur, their skin will turn yellow and look ripe, but after peeling them, you will find that the flesh of the banana is still very hard and the sweetness is very poor. The same problem will occur with watermelons ripened with ripening agents. Some watermelons will even appear half red and half white, and the various vitamins in them will be destroyed, which will have an undesirable effect after people eat them.
