Case study on the hazards of sodium lactate Sodium lactate is a food additive commonly used as an acid flavoring agent, dehydrating agent, etc. Although sodium lactate is recognized as a safe additive by the FDA and WHO, long-term excessive consumption of sodium lactate may pose a risk to human health.
Some studies have shown that excessive intake of sodium lactate can increase the body's acidity, leading to an increase in some metabolic products and causing various discomfort reactions such as headaches, nausea, vomiting, etc.
In addition, long-term excessive consumption of sodium lactate can stimulate the production of a large number of bacteria in the intestines, which may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort such as abdominal bloating and diarrhea. For children and pregnant women, excessive intake of sodium lactate is more likely to pose a threat to their physical health.
In short, to protect health, it is recommended that everyone control the intake of sodium lactate in their daily diet and avoid excessive consumption of foods containing this additive.
