These seven groups of people should not eat mooncakes.

Mooncakes, the traditional delicacy of the Mid-Autumn Festival, vary in suitability for different individuals. When young women taste mooncakes, flavors like mixed nuts and jujube paste are usually good choices, as they not only benefit health but also promote beauty. However, not all types of mooncakes are suitable for all age groups. For instance, egg yolk mooncakes are rich in vitamins A and E, the latter having antioxidant properties beneficial for the skin, but they also have high cholesterol content, making them less suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. Worth noting is that even vegetarian mooncakes filled with fruits or vegetables may still contain starch in their outer layer that can convert into glucose, affecting blood sugar levels and posing potential risks to certain special patient groups. Additionally, there are seven groups who should avoid mooncakes: diabetes and gout patients, individuals with cardiovascular diseases like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and coronary heart disease, those with digestive system disorders like gastritis and duodenitis, as well as patients with gallbladder inflammation, gallstones, or chronic pancreatitis, those with chronic diarrhea or in the recovery phase of hepatitis, as well as those with dental caries and sub-healthy individuals whose physical functions are not fully developed. For the latter group, cleaning teeth promptly after consuming mooncakes is recommended to prevent oral issues. Therefore, while enjoying the festive atmosphere, paying attention to personal health conditions and making sensible food choices are particularly important.
