Momos available at every intersection and market in India is no less than poison for patients. Momos are especially dangerous for blood sugar patients.

use of chemicals
Experts say that to make momos white and soft, at least 3 types of chemicals are added to it, which are very harmful for health. Talking to a news channel, Dr. Vikas Kumar, Neuro Surgeon of AIIMS Ranchi, says that to make momos white and soft, bleach, chlorine and benzoyl peroxide are added to it. These three things are very dangerous for diabetes patients. These chemicals do not coordinate with the insulin producing cells in our body and trigger sugar levels. At the same time, chemicals like monosodium glutamate are also used in momos to enhance the aroma and taste, which can damage our pancreas and kidneys. Let us tell you that this is a chemical which can cause serious diseases like diabetes to even a healthy person.
According to a report published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, if a Type 2 diabetic patient eats momos for 3-4 weeks, it will not have any significant effect, but eating more momos every day and beyond the limit triggers blood sugar rapidly. Even if diabetic patients eat momos, they should choose steam momos only. It is better if it is made of things like flour, ragi, millet etc.
According to experts, the red chutney with which momos are eaten is very harmful for health. In this, red chilli as well as color is used. This chutney can cause piles and stomach related diseases. Whereas the white chutney of momos contains a good amount of oil, which is not at all good for heart patients. Especially diabetes patients should avoid outside momos. They should try to eat momos made from fresh vegetables at home.
