Seasonings and spices sold in retail outlets can be harmful to human health.
The fact is that such additives may contain unsafe chemical elements.
Endocrinologist, nutritionist, and candidate of medical sciences Evgeniya Nuzhdina told Lenta.ru about which spices can harm your health and how.
The expert reminded about caution when using spices and herbs in the presence of diseases and other things.
Overdose
In this case, you should take a closer look at saffron, sage, rosemary, nutmeg, cloves and even cinnamon.
All these additives should be used in small quantities.
Nutmeg can cause convulsions if taken in overdose.
Cloves can cause drowsiness, and rosemary puts a strain on the kidneys.
The doctor also advises to be careful when using mint, as in large doses it can cause overexcitement and insomnia.
Mint also irritates the stomach lining.
Diseases
In case of diseases and exacerbations of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, the doctor recommends being careful with the use of mustard, garlic, pepper and hot spices in general.
All of them do not have the best effect on your well-being.
Among other things, the doctor advises using spices and herbs with caution during pregnancy.
