Question
I want to buy a box of gelatin to keep at home, but I’ve heard that gelatin becomes inedible after expiration, as toxic substances may be produced. However, some people say that the longer it is stored, the better the effect. Who should I believe?
Answer
It’s not advisable to eat expired food, as the components can deteriorate, losing nutritional value and potentially producing harmful substances, which are detrimental to your health. It’s recommended to consume food as soon as you purchase it and avoid stockpiling. A balanced diet, with an intake of foods like soybeans, black fungus, and jujube, is beneficial for health, and I advocate for timely purchase and consumption of food.
