      ①Eating too much sugar will increase heat. Patients may have symptoms such as abdominal distension, stagnation of dampness and heat, and thick and greasy tongue coating. Generally, adding sugar is strictly prohibited.

      ②White sugar is cool in nature and brown sugar is warm in nature. Adding cold and cooling agents will weaken the properties and affect the efficacy of the medicine.

      ③The chemical composition of traditional Chinese medicine is relatively complex. Sugars, especially brown sugar, contain a lot of iron, calcium and other elements. The proteins and tannins in traditional Chinese medicine react chemically, which affects the efficacy of the medicine and is harmful. healthy
