On January 4th, young mum Victoria Anderson and her two children strolled the streets of the town of Porter Glasgow in Scotland, England. 
Little Angus, a 3-year-old boy, like many children, stopped in front of the window of a corner shopHis eyes were drawn to a bright pink raspberry-flavored smoothie, he was clamoring to eat this kind of swirling smoothie, and he wouldn't leave if he didn't buy it.
Victoria had no idea at the time that the ubiquitous drink on the streets of Europe would have horrific consequences.
Under the fuss of his son Angus, Victoria could only buy this smoothie for him and hand it to the child to satisfy the cravings in his stomach.
I can't help but complain about the big hearts of foreign parents, not to mention whether it is appropriate to give children and ice drinks in winter, just say that 3-year-old children drink this kind of smoothie, and the next time they eat it violently, it will cause "ice cream headache", and the children will also be very uncomfortable.
However, the problem Angus encountered was not just a headache caused by eating cold drinks too quickly!
Angus was still excitedly savoring the freshly baked smoothie at first, but it wasn't long before things were not quite right.
In the winter, I wanted to eat smoothies, and after a cup of belly, the British boy showed symptoms of shock
Victoria described that shortly after entering another storeAngus began to show discomfort, he kept saying that he wanted to go home, and then all of a sudden, he just collapsed and no longer reacted.
At this moment, Victoria's heart almost stopped beating, and she thought she was going to lose her precious son. She screams in horror for help, while Angus is completely unconscious like a rock.
I thought he was lying on the ground and throwing a tantrum because he had fallen, but when I looked at him, I noticed that his eyes were rolled to the back of his headHe was having seizures. He became limp like a rotten fish
Victoria added: "I started screaming 'call an ambulance'.
Angus was quickly rushed to Glasgow Children's Hospital, where he was in a coma for two hours, during which doctors examined him to determine the cause of his illness.
"He was in a coma for about two hours," Victoria said. It's the scariest thing I've ever experienced. He was in good health that day – he clearly didn't have any problems. We don't have any such cases at home. The way he fell was horrible, I thought he was going to dieThe doctor gave him an injection in the leg and he did not respond.
Doctors performed a series of tests to try to figure out the cause. After detailed questioning and examination, the doctors finally determined that the culprit of the incident was actually the smoothie.
Victoria recalls that the doctor asked Angus about what he was eating that day, when she mentioned smoothiesDoctors quickly thought about the possibility of glycerin poisoning.
After further testing, the doctors confirmed that the glycerin contained in the smoothie caused a sharp drop in Angus' blood sugar levels, which in turn triggered a series of serious reactions.
Glycerin, a chemical commonly used as a food additive to prevent condensation, is found in smoothies in much more than any other food.
Although glycerol is safe in certain amounts, it is safe if ingested in excessEspecially in children, due to their small body weight, it is easy to cause poisoning phenomena, including headaches, nausea, shock, hypoglycemia, and even loss of consciousness.
According to the Food Standards Agency, glycerin can be contained in smoothies as a substitute for sugar to create a smoothie effect.
The experience was a no-brainer for Victoria and her family, and through this thrilling experience, Victoria realized the importance of communicating this risk to the public. She strongly advocated that the sale of such smoothies to children, or at least the labelling of the products, should be banned, especially for children under the age of four.
In fact, this kind of food is very common in the streets and alleys of various cities in Europe, and the color is bursting on the outside, which makes people frightenedWhen you suck your tongue, you will dye it, and you often eat tongue tattoos··· It's not a good thing to buy for kids.
According to the experience of some adults, although they did not go into shock after eating, they did not survive the rundown.
And this smoothie making machine is very difficult to clean, and we don't know if the store has paid attention to food safety, so it's better to eat as little as possible!
