When making cold dishes, some people like to add in some sugar, so as to improve the taste of the dishes. In fact, such a habit is very harmful to human health, because there are a large number of mites existing in granulated sugar, soft sugar or other sweet food. If the contaminated sugar has not been processed through heat treatment, these mites will enter into human body along with the food and stay in the gastrointestinal tract. These mites will release a great amount of toxins, which may stimulate the intestinal wall and cause spasm, thus leading to abdominal pain.
