Some elderly people, women and children are easily deceived, we must protect them from these so-called health care products.
unreliable health products not only fail to maintain health, but will also be fatal.
Everyone must learn to distinguish and make careful choices! ! !
Who in the world has the best money to make?
The answer is self-evident: The elderly, women and children .
Just right, so many unreliable health care products in China are targeting these three types of people.
The elderly are afraid of illness and death, women are afraid of ugliness and old age, and children are afraid of malnutrition. Because of fear, buy, buy peace of mind, and buy happiness, and of course you won’t have to worry about sales of health products.
But unfortunately, there are many chaos in health products in China, and many scams, and many people are cheating.
At the 315th party program of the previous year, a health product salesperson revealed the secret:
is not about the good or bad of this product, but about your supervision. The old customers here, even if you sell some shit, they will be willing to buy it.

But at least I bought shit and soaked in water to take it. It tastes bad and is useless. It will not hurt your body. But some unreliable health products will not only cost you money, but also cost your life.
Ms. Tian Xia from Longhui, Hunan, is 43 years old. She originally had a happy family who runs a food wholesale department and lived a harmonious and beautiful life.
As a result, one day, a customer went to the store to buy cigarettes and saw a black spot on her face. He told her: "You are toxic in your blood. You need to detoxify and eat our products to get better."
could not withstand the other party's tricks, and Tian Xia really transferred 10,000 yuan and bought health products. But in fact, the ingredients of these health products are mainly mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, loofah, honey, maltodextrin, corn starch, etc. The formula is simple and the cost may be only a few yuan.
Originally, Tian Xia suffered from hypertension and diabetes . Corn starch and honey were already high in sugar. After eating, she felt uncomfortable, had headaches and feet. When she was most severe, she couldn't stand up and could only lie in the bed and vomited.
family advised her to go to the hospital, but she didn't go because the health care product dealer told her: "Persevere, I believe it will get better and better. This is regulating the spleen and stomach." As a result, a few days later, Tian Xia fainted and died after ineffective rescue. (Source | New Hunan)
Because of trusting unreliable health care products, Tian Xia paid the price of her life.
So the question is: The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and we are visiting relatives and going home to respect the elderly. Some people think of giving some health products, but there are so many unreliable health products on the market, how can we avoid falling into the pit?

Health products Misconception 1:
The more nutrition, the better
health products, a major category of health products, are nutritional supplements, various vitamin tablets, health products that supplement calcium, iron and zinc, etc.
Many people think that the more nutritional and health products, the better. Eating more is not harmful anyway. But in fact, it's a big mistake.
Yang Fei, a young man from Baoji, Shaanxi, was 16 years old. Because of the stress of studying, poor sleep, and often grind his teeth. He slapped his head and felt that he was calcium deficiency. His mother went to the pharmacy and bought him a few bottles of liquid calcium and health supplements for vitamins.
Yang Fei said: "It feels good for the body, and it is not harmful to take health products." So he took the brand of health products for a long time and took it for a full seven years.
years later, 23-year-old Yang Fei's weight has soared to 70 kilograms and his belly is covered with fat. The most terrifying thing is that there is a faint pain in the chest, as well as symptoms of chest tightness and panic. At first I didn't care, but two lumps actually grew on my chest! went to the hospital for examination, but the result was shocked: It turned out to be breast development! A boy began to develop his breasts! The doctor said that the culprit is probably these health care products.
It is possible that these nutrients or health products have added estrogen ingredients.

Coincidentally, Yangzhou An old man with an 80-year-old family also had a lot of nutritional and health products for him to eat, and as a result, his breasts also began to develop, getting bigger and bigger, and hard lumps grew. (Source | Yangzhou.com)
Then you say that these unreliable nutritional health products have added estrogen randomly. If they are not added, they only have simple nutrition. Isn’t it good for people? The same is not the case.
In fact, you will know after a little checking the news that some little girls have excessive zinc supplementation, premature puberty, pregnant women have excessive nutrition and excessive fetus, or premature closure of the fontanelle... There are too many such news.
There is a study abroad, spanning 19 years, and 38,000 women were followed up and found that people who regularly take nutritional supplements to consume vitamins and minerals had a risk of death 2.4% higher than those who did not.
Another study also found that men who regularly consume vitamin B6 and B12 supplements have twice as much risk of lung cancer as others.

is visible, the more nutrition the better. If you have no shortage of nutrition, you have to supplement it, and it will easily cause problems.
Suggestion: Don’t buy nutritional supplements at will, and you can replenish what you lack. As for whether you should make up for it, how to make up for it, consult a doctor in a regular hospital, don’t take it for granted.
health products misunderstanding 2:
health products can cure diseases
There are some health products for middle-aged and elderly people. They are said to be able to treat cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and can strengthen the body and cure all diseases. They are more reliable and effective than the medicines prescribed by doctors in hospitals.
Many middle-aged and elderly people really believe in these exaggerated advertisements of health products, which delays the condition and destroys the body.
Mr. Cheng from Zhejiang, 48 years old, is a well-known entrepreneur, has a lot of social engagements, is very busy with work, and has high blood pressure three years ago.
The doctor’s advice is: the medicine cannot be stopped, you must take antihypertensive drugs to control your blood pressure.
Mr. Cheng is worried that "it's three parts poisonous". He feels that he is still young and does not want to rely on drugs, so he turns himself into a jar of medicine. So, he thought of another way to lower blood pressure: take health care products.
Anyway, there are so many magical health products on the market. If you buy them, you can try it. And he is rich and willful, and he only buys all kinds of famous and expensive brands. After taking
for a while, he felt better and believed that it was the health supplement that played a role. So, I simply stopped the antihypertensive drugs and only took health supplements.
Not long after, I felt dizzy and felt that the world was spinning. When I arrived at the hospital for examination, I was frightened and my blood pressure almost soared to 190! It is already considered severe hypertension in clinical practice.
Fortunately, Mr. Cheng has no other diseases and is still young, otherwise he will easily have a stroke.

State Food and Drug Administration once reminded consumers: should look at food and health food advertisements and publicity scientifically and rationally. Anyone who claims to treat diseases should not buy .
health products are just health products, they cannot treat diseases and must not replace medicines! Sometimes after taking health supplements, I feel that my health is a little better, which is basically just a psychological effect.
Suggestion: You have to take medicine when you need it. Don’t pay attention to health products that are too exaggerated and absolute in advertising and claim to have therapeutic functions for the disease.
Health products Misconception 3:
Health products that use old traditional prescriptions, it must not be harmful to
Many Chinese people often believe in the "wisdom of the ancients" and think that what our ancestors said must be right.
Therefore, the health care principles of many health products come from traditional wisdom and traditional prescriptions.
Although the wisdom of the ancients is quite awesome, it is undeniable that there are some bad things, which may not be all right.
For example, Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" once recorded: " Polygonum multiflorum is bitter and astringent. It is bitter to nourish the kidneys, warm the liver, and can restrain the essence and energy, so it can nourish blood and benefit the liver, strengthen the essence and kidneys, strengthen the muscles and bones, and black hair, which is a good nourishing medicine."
Therefore, some modern health products, based on Li Shizhen's theory, added Polygonum multiflorum, claiming that they can make white hair black, and believe that it is not harmful to people.
Ms. Li from Nanjing, although she is only in her 50s, she has white hair. This made her very upset. While dyeing her hair, she turned to health products, hoping that health products could help her grow black hair.
I heard that "polygonum multiflorum can grow hair", so she bought a health product containing the ingredients ofpolygonum multiflorum. After taking five boxes, I often feel pantothenic water, vomiting and urinating, and the most terrible symptoms are yellow in my skin and eyeballs.
Doctor said: is a random eating of health products containing Polygonum multiflorum, causing liver damage to ! Although Ms. Li has been treated and is not seriously injured, the liver damage of caused by health supplements is irreversible and cannot be repaired!

In fact, the "Information of Adverse Drug Reactions" of the State Food and Drug Administration also reminded that oral polygonum multiflorum and its prescription preparations may be at risk of liver damage.
The wisdom of the ancients did not point out the risk of liver damage of Polygonum multiflorum. If you blindly believe in the "nutritional effects" and "hair-generating functions" emphasized by the ancients, and do not consider their potential risks, then the person who will eventually suffer is yourself.
suggestion: Don’t be too superstitious about traditional experience, and you should also be careful about health products under the banner of traditional ones. When traditional statements conflict with modern scientific proofs, please believe in modern science.
Health products Misconception 4:
High-tech health products from foreign countries must be good
Since we cannot be superstitious about the ancients, should we unconditionally trust Western health products from developed science and technology?
What's more, this type of health care product often uses a lot of scientific terms that you don't understand, such as "L-carnitine", "enzyme", "DHA", etc., which sound very advanced, and it should be very effective if you think about it? Even knowledgeable foreigners have said it is OK, what reason do you have not said it is OK?
What a pity, foreigners are often fooled by unreliable health products! Foreigners say it’s good, foreigners sell well, and the advertising slogans are not necessarily the only ones that these health care products are reliable.
American man Paul Carlson suffers from a skin disease and has been seeking medical treatment everywhere for many years, but he has no cure. So he had to turn to a health product called "nanocolloid silver".
is both "nano" and "colloid". First of all, the name sounds very technological. What's more, scientists have long discovered that silver ions can kill bacteria and inhibit bacteria in vitro.
You see, silver ions can sterilize. My health care product contains silver. If you eat it in your stomach and sterilize it in your body, you can achieve the health care effect? Right? Is this logic very familiar?
But the problem is that sterilization in the body and sterilization in the body are two different things. Bactericidalization and preventing you from getting sick are two different things. Keeping you from getting sick is two different things. I'm afraid many people can't understand this logic.
merchants use a little bit of well-founded scientific principles, exaggerate and add high-tech terms, which fooled many people. Carlson was fooled and bought this nanocolloidal silver.
Although the merchant promotes that this health care product is not harmful, after Carlson takes it for a long time, it leads to silver poisoning, his whole body turns blue, and even the spleen and liver turn blue! He suddenly became the Namei in "Avatar"!
Later, it was even discovered that nano silver is also toxic to the lungs, nerves and skin! This kind of health care product that has been popular in the market for many years before it was banned by the US Food and Drug Administration. (Source | Science Network)
is obviously unreliable, but it is packaged as high-tech, but it is still recognized and purchased by so many foreigners.It can be seen that it is not necessarily reliable to be popular abroad and adopt the so-called high-tech from abroad.
suggestion: There is no need to admire foreign countries and fawn on foreign countries. It may not be effective if you claim to use foreign high-tech, and it may not be good if you are popular abroad. After all, there are many fools among foreigners.

health products misunderstanding 5:
has expert endorsement, it must be reliable
Many health products promotions, and they also like to bring so-called experts to endorse. But the problem is that those experts with a lot of titles may not be real experts, but may also be fake experts. news that was particularly popular last year.
There is an old lady named Liu Hongbin . On TV, she disguised herself as a "Peking University expert" to promote the magical medicine that can "clear sugar toxins", and promote the use of her drug, and can eat and drink with diabetes;
Then she became the descendant of Miao Doctor, specializing in treating cough and asthma, and mainly recommended "Miao Xian cough and asthma prescription";
Then she wore Mongolian clothes and became the representative of Mongolian doctor;
In addition, she also has the vice president of the Chinese Association for Traditional Chinese Medicine, the vice president of the Oriental Cough Research Institute, the member of the Rheumatism Branch of the Chinese Association for Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the retired director of a hospital, etc., and many titles that sound like a fool.
, but unfortunately, it's all fake. This old lady Liu is not an expert, but more like an actor.

Then what if there is a real expert endorsement? You said you have checked it. If the title of an expert is true, is it necessarily credible?
may not be the case either. In this era, it is like a mountain. The fields that experts focus on are also different. They may have a say in some areas, but may not be the case in other areas.
For example, the famous scientist Newton discovered the law of "gravity" which is very awesome in physics, right?
But in his later years he was also addicted to alchemy . You can’t think alchemy is reliable because Newton is very famous and authoritative, right?
suggestion: Don’t be superstitious about so-called pseudo-experts. Even for real experts, you should be careful if you cross the field. It is best to be recognized by the entire scientific community to be more credible.

Do you know which group of people who eat the most health care products in history? He is the emperor of China.
The most awesome health care product in ancient times was the elixir known as the elixir that can make people immortal.
The emperors like to make up for this and that, and they all enjoyed it. But in fact, everyone did not realize that the elixir they ate contained toxic substances such as mercury and arsenic, and they ate too much and died early.
For example, a large number of emperors in the Tang Dynasty, such as Tang Wuzong , Tang Muzong, etc., were all poisoned by taking elixirs and died in their thirties.
The average life span of the Chinese emperor is only 39 years old. Excluding babies who die prematurely, ordinary people who don’t have so many health products to eat, their average life expectancy can reach 57 years. (Data source | Dynamic History)
Historical experience tells us that unreliable health care products will not only fail to maintain health, but will also be fatal.
actually needs health preservation, and there are not so many twists and turns to walk on. Just eat and drink normally. It is necessary to have regular meals, balanced nutrition, and exercise diligently.
In addition to this, staying away from unreliable health products is probably the secret to keep you alive for a long time.
