    Speaking of "Clenbuterol", everyone is no stranger, but what exactly "Clenbuterol" is, most people may know a little
    .
    Let's reveal what "Clenbuterol" is? What are the harms after consumption?

    Clenbuterol refers to the general term for drugs such as β-adrenoreceptor agonists, including clenbuterol hydrochloride, ractopamine, salbutamol, simaterol, etc
    .
    Clinically, it is mainly used to relieve symptoms
    such as bronchial asthma.
    This kind of substance is neither a veterinary drug nor a feed additive, and it is found to inhibit the synthesis of animal fat, promote the growth of lean meat, and increase the lean meat rate of pigs, sheep and other livestock during use, so it is illegally added to animal feed
    .

    In 2002, China's Ministry of Agriculture and other national ministries and commissions successively issued Announcement No.
    176, Announcement No.
    193 and Regulation No.
    1519 prohibiting the use of β-agonist drugs as veterinary drugs and feed additives, but the use of "clenbuterol" in animal husbandry production is still repeatedly prohibited.

    The chemical structure of "Clenbuterol" is stable, and studies have shown that Clenbuterol can withstand high temperatures of 100 ° C, and when the temperature reaches 126 ° C, it will be destroyed by half
    after 5 minutes of frying.
    Therefore, conventional cooking does not completely destroy the residual clenbuterol in meat
    .

    After excessive consumption of animal meat containing clenbuterol, acute food poisoning will be induced, manifested as muscle tremor, limb paralysis, palpitations, abdominal pain, nausea, dizziness and other symptoms, especially for hypertension, heart disease and other patients are more likely to produce acute poisoning symptoms, severe can lead to death
    .
    However, in general, conventional doses of β-adrenergic agonists can be metabolized and excreted in the body without causing harm
    to the body.

    Consumers should look at the safety of meat products rationally, pay attention to purchasing from formal channels, and must see whether the pork is stamped with a quarantine seal and quarantine certificate when purchasing
    .
    At the same time, pay attention to the sampling results announced by the local food and drug regulatory authorities, and do not buy products
    that fail the sampling inspection announced by the regulatory authorities.
