The dangers of potato flour

Theoretically, potato flour is a strip of pasta made from potatoes and is harmless to the human body. However, there are some unscrupulous businessmen in the market who add industrial alum into potato flour to facilitate processing or increase palatability. Although potato flour mixed with industrial alum is chewy, it is also very harmful.

The chemical composition of alum is potassium aluminum sulfate, which contains aluminum ions. Excessive intake of aluminum ions will affect the body's absorption of iron, calcium and other components, leading to osteoporosis, anemia, and even affecting the development of nerve cells, causing symptoms such as Alzheimer's disease, memory loss, and decreased intelligence.

Therefore, if you want to eat potato flour, it is more hygienic and safer to make it at home.
