Is disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate really toxic to human body?

 

As a chelating agent, disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate can be used in the fields of medicine, cosmetics and food. In medicine, it can be used as a blood anticoagulant, in food as a stabilizer, and in cosmetics as a regulator. Because of its wide range of uses, many people will pay special attention to whether it is harmful to human health. So, let's introduce it specifically below.

 

1、 For external anticoagulants

 

Disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate is mainly used as an external anticoagulant in blood testing. When it is added to a vacuum tube, its mechanism is to react with metal substances, close them tightly, prevent platelet aggregation, and play an anticoagulant effect. Therefore, from the mechanism, when it is used as an anticoagulant, it does not directly contact with the human body, and will not cause harm or toxicity to the body.

 

2、 Used in food additives

 

According to the national food safety standards, disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate can be added to all kinds of food as a stabilizer, preservative and antioxidant, which can play a role in the stability of corrosion or deterioration and discoloration, and effectively improve the color, smell and taste of food. Since the national safety standard has allowed adding in food, it is certainly harmless to human body. However, it should be noted that the added dose should be added according to the standard requirements, and it should not be used blindly or beyond the standard, otherwise it will be harmful to human body.

 

3、 Used in cosmetics

 

Disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate can play a balancing role, regulate the pH, and have the effect of stabilizing the solution, so it is often added to skin care products. However, it also needs to pay attention to the dosage. Many people will have irritation and swelling if they use the skin for a long time. In addition, some small brand products contain disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate, which is slightly toxic and harmful to some pregnant women. Therefore, small brand cosmetics containing this ingredient cannot be used. In daily life, you must go to formal channels to buy cosmetics, and buy large brand products with guaranteed quality. Do not choose "three no" products, which may easily cause skin irritation and endanger human health.
