　　Some say the effect is good, some say it is useless

　　Mr. Liu, a 33-year-old citizen, works in photography and videography. Because of his flexible working hours, he eats irregularly. He often has diarrhea due to poor gastrointestinal function. For this reason, he will inevitably encounter some embarrassing scenes, which makes him very depressed.

"Shoulder and neck problems and gastrointestinal problems can be regarded as occupational diseases in our industry. Some time ago, my colleagues recommended me to eat Hericium erinaceus biscuits. He said that after eating for a period of time, his stomach pain and diarrhea have been greatly improved. "Mr. Liu said, with the mentality of giving it a try, he bought the amount for half a month, and eat two packets with milk every morning.

After more than ten days, my diarrhea has improved, and my appetite has also improved a lot during lunch and afternoon meals.

To this end, he bought a lot of Hericium biscuits for long-term consumption.

　　Mr. Wang, a 30-year-old citizen, works in insurance in Jiulongpo District. He also suffers from irregular eating. In addition, he likes to drink. His stomach is also very fragile. He has been to the hospital several times.

"My friend is selling Hericium biscuits, and she gave me two boxes of them. I mainly eat them for breakfast. I ate them for almost two months. It feels no different from ordinary biscuits. To nourish the stomach, I feel better to drink porridge. Comfortable," Mr. Wang said.

　　The reporter also consulted 4 citizens who had eaten Hericium biscuits for more than a week. One person said it worked, while the other three said it was similar to before eating.

　　Ordinary food does not have health benefits

　　Judging from the reporter's interview, it is not difficult to find that the individual population of eating Hericium erinaceus is quite different. What is the reason?

In this regard, the reporter consulted with Ms. Luo, who has been engaged in food and drug supervision in our city for more than ten years.

　　According to Ms. Luo, Hericium erinaceus is shaped like its name and looks like a monkey's head.

Since ancient times, Hericium erinaceus has been eaten by Chinese people as a dual-purpose fungus for food and medicine, and has certain effects on neurasthenia and digestive diseases.

However, it should be noted that Hericium erinaceus biscuits are not the same as Hericium erinaceus. Take a bag of two-piece Hericium biscuits with a content of nearly 20 grams as an example. As written on the ingredient list, the content of Hericium erinaceus powder is 6 %.

Even if the citizens eat for a long time, the body can consume very little Hericium.

　　Ms. Luo said that if the Hericium biscuits on the market are not marked with "Jian", they are ordinary foods.

According to the "Food Safety Law", ordinary foods must not be promoted as having health effects.

"Nourishing the stomach" is a folk saying, not a health effect.

It is worth mentioning that in 2019, the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration announced that in the typical cases of false and illegal food and health food advertisements in 2019, there was a general food that also claimed that the product had "liver protection, nourishment, beauty, and soothing" effects. And was punished by the market supervision department.

Finally, Ms. Luo reminded the general public that citizens with gastrointestinal diseases should go to the hospital for treatment and take medicine and food under the guidance of a doctor.
