Jellies, sweets, gummies are the all-time favorite treat for everyone. From children to old aged people, seems to be a big-time fan of these sweet fruity delights.

 But are you aware of the fact that these all-time favorite sweets compose of a huge amount of gelatin in them?

Yes, to give them texture, gelatin is used. The sweets that we consume can be harmful to us in many ways. Due to the presence of gelatin, we automatically get exposed to lots of health issues.

 Also, the properties of gelatin are mind-boggling. let’s find out some of the facts related to gelatin and what effect can it lead on our health.

What is gelatin made of?

Gelatin is a protein made from boiling of ligaments, tendon, skin, and/or, bones of the animal. It is 100% non-vegetarian. It is tasteless, odorless, and near to colorless in appearance. Hence, if your candies contain gelatin, then those delights are not a vegan sweet.

Is gelatin vegetarian?

A big no is an answer. As stated earlier, Gelatin obtains from animal products. Usually, it is extracted from connective tissues of the beef, pork, or fish.

For the individual who follows a vegan diet, it can be a myth breaking fact about gelatin.

Hence, because of its composition, gelatin-based products come under the non-vegetarian product category.

Why we should use the gelatin-free product?

There are several benefits of intaking gelatin-free products over gelatin-based products. Side effects of Gelatin-based products make them an undesirable option to include in our diet. Lets’ look into the benefits of consuming gelatin-free products.

1.  No allergy issues

Some individuals are allergic to gelatin.

This can be because of two broad reasons. As gelatin is obtained from an animal product, any addition of diseased animal body tissue and cell may cause an allergic reaction to an individual consuming it.

The second reason can be an individual having a weak immune system and are generally allergic to animal collagen.

Hence, consuming gelatin free products or gelatin substitute is one way to have a healthy diet.

2.  No chances of toxic exposure

Gelatin is toxic to an individual if the dosage of gelatin intake increases. There is a set amount to be taken if the individual does not want to face any side effects.

Moreover, animals are often exposed to the consumption of pesticides. Gelatin, being an animal generated product, have the possibility of being toxic.

 Hence, toxicity finds its way to enter the human body through animal collagen. But it can be avoided by the consumption of gelatin-free products/sweets to cater to both health and taste needs.

The current situation teaches us that what seems normal can be complicated enough to change the whole living style of human beings.

Hence, dwelling on the gelatin-based products needs to be avoided as even the possibility can create an emergency.

Also, it’s righty quoted by Harry J. Johnson that the human body has been designed to resist an infinite number of changes and attacks brought about by its environment.

The secret of good health lies in successful adjustment to changing stresses on the body.

3.  No side effects to liver and kidney

Gelatin creates a scientific reaction in our body during the process of digestion.

 It breaks down the protein. This further leads to the excretion of protein which would otherwise get absorbed by the intestine to increase our energy level to perform tasks.

This unnecessary removal of protein is not healthy for the body as a whole, as the other parts of the body may not be able to function properly.

Moreover, this would create extra pressure on the liver and kidney. Hence, people already suffering from any sort of liver or kidney disorder are always advised to avoid the consumption of gelatin-based products and switch to vegan sweets or sweets without gelatin.

4.  No abdominal bloating and upset stomach issue

Gelatin based products often cause bloating and upset stomach. To avoid such problems, gelatin substitute, pectin is widely in demand as it is safe to consume without any noted side effects.

Switching over to sweets without gelatin or agar-agar will help you to find your way to a healthy lifestyle by avoiding unnecessary health problems caused by eating gelatin-based products, which is surely an alien ingredient for some of us due to its extreme side effects.

Pectin helps to stop or to minimize the absorption of cholesterol in our body. Hence, it helps to maintain good heart health.

Though, more research needs to be conducted on the human domain to know the actual functionality of pectin on the human body.

2.  Decrease the chance of colon cancer

Researchers have theorized that pectin is effective to counter cancer. The fiber reduces cellular damage and inflammation which ultimately reduces the chances of colon cancer.

Further, test-tube studies have shown that pectin helps to kill other types of cancer cells. Still, there is more research needed to be done to ascertain better results on the effect of pectin and the human body.

3.  Help in digestion and prevent alien bacteria to enter

Pectin is helpful in digestion as being a soluble fiber, it turns into gel form in the presence of water. This leads to the softening of stool and timely transit of material from our body.

Moreover, the pectin form of lining around the gut, prevents harmful bacteria to enter the

This ensures the overall health of the digestion system and immunity against harmful bacteria.

4.  Promote healthy weight

Research has shown that pectin ineffective in cutting obesity and helps to regain weight in case of underweight.

The right weight can be maintained by the consumption of pectin. The observation was obtained from a conducted experiment on the animal.

So, research still needs to confirm pectin useful effects on the human front.
