What are the dangers of eating too much health candy containing gelatin?

Digestive problems
Gelatin is a protein, and excessive consumption of health candy containing gelatin may cause indigestion. The digestion and absorption capacity of the human digestive system for protein is limited, and too much gelatin will increase the burden of the stomach after entering the stomach. For example, it may cause symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea. Because the stomach needs more time and energy to break down and process these excess proteins, gastrointestinal dysfunction is prone to occur in the process.
Nutritional imbalance
Health candy often contains more sugar, excessive consumption of such candy, will lead to excessive sugar intake. At the same time, due to the excessive focus on the consumption of health candy, it may neglect the intake of other more nutritious foods. For example, the intake of foods such as vegetables, fruits and whole grains may be reduced, resulting in nutritional imbalances. In the long run, there may be a lack of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.
Increased risk of allergic reactions
Gelatin is derived from the connective tissue of animals, and for some people who are allergic to animal protein, excessive consumption of health candy containing gelatin can increase the risk of allergic reactions. Symptoms of an allergic reaction may include itchy skin, red spots, shortness of breath, swollen throat, etc. Severe allergic reactions can even be life-threatening.
Potential additive cumulative hazards
In addition to gelatin, health candy may also contain other additives, such as colors, flavors, preservatives, etc. Excessive consumption of health candy can cause these additives to accumulate in the body. Although each additive is safe within the prescribed dose, excessive accumulation may have adverse effects on the human body's liver, kidney and other organs, because these organs are the main metabolic and detoxification organs, long-term metabolic burden of too many additives may lead to organ function impairment.
