Recently, a woman in Luoyang, Henan Province, caused a long -term wrongdoing of health products to cause the uterus to be full of fibroids. The news caused heated discussion among netizens.

In fact, it is not uncommon for this kind of "hidden health danger to eat health products". In July this year, there are entries that "men eat 8 vitamins a day to eat liver failure" to board the hot search. The health products that have frequently appeared in people's attention, and the problems brought about by their errors have aroused discussion and doubts of netizens. Some netizens think that health products are "lied to grandparents", and there is no practical effect. On the contrary, some people think that some health products can be eaten every day, there is no harm; some netizens are puzzled, is the health care product medicine or food? What should I eat to be safe and healthy?

In fact, proper consumption health products do help health. The health products circulating on the market are generally the abbreviation of health food. The "Management Measures for Health Food Registration and Records" released by the State Food and Drug Administration in 2016 define health foods, "claiming and. Foods for minerals for the purpose of minerals. It is suitable for eating in specific groups. It has the function of regulating the body, does not treat diseases, and does not produce any acute, subacute or chronic hazards for the human body. " It can be seen that health products are a "food" with specific functions, not "medicines". Correctly consumption of health products can supplement the lack of nutrients in the human body, play a role in health, and will not harm the human body.

However, health products also have its limitations. First, not all health products have the effect of its promotion. Many sellers claim that their own products "contain certain ingredients and have some effects", but this ingredients often use unknown effects and small doses. Moreover, the effect of some health products promotion has not been verified by a lot of clinical trials, so they may not give full play to the role of users' expectations. Second, health products are only suitable for "special groups", such as people with uneven nutrition, people with weak constitution, and those who need to recover after illness. Therefore, before buying and eating health products, they should confirm whether they meet this condition, and blindly eating may be counterproductive. Third, excessive edible health products may have unnecessary adverse consequences. For example, excessive vitamins are prone to vitamin poisoning, and excessive supplement of protein can easily increase the burden on liver and kidney.

In recent years, the scale of health products has grown rapidly, and fake and shoddy products have also emerged endlessly. People's pursuit of health and beauty has made the market demand strong, and the low thresholds of the health products market have also allowed many businesses to enter the industry. With the help of the Internet, they use various marketing methods to promote product promotion. Among them, there are many fake and shoddy products, but consumers who lack comprehensive and correct cognition of health care products are easily deceived by sellers' gimmicks. On the one hand, it has promoted the development of the health product market, and on the other hand, it also encourages the unhealthy wind of black -hearted merchants.

To improve this situation, not only the efforts of government and enterprises, consumers should also improve their cognition. If you refuse to buy blindly, you should buy it carefully after knowing the efficacy and limitations of health products, and confirm your physical condition, and take it with caution, take appropriate amounts, and do not let the "ignorance" a stumbling block on the road of "health care".
