What is the harm of drinking milk tea for a long time? How can I quit milk tea? Will fat-planting powder make people fat?

How fast does milk tea make people fat? it was one of the hot topics on Weibo last night.

The top Weibo was a complaint from a netizen. The netizen and now many workers have the same habit of drinking milk tea, usually 4 or 5 cups a month. There is a lot of pressure in September, so the frequency of drinking milk tea has increased a lot, with an average of one cup of tea every two days. After drinking 10 cups of milk tea in a row, the result is that I usually wear loose jeans, but I can't zip them up. Although I know that milk tea is getting fat, the netizen sighed: this is too exaggerated! It's like blowing balloons! Milk tea tastes good, but you can't drink too much.

This is reminiscent of a hot topic on Weibo in August about milk tea: a 29-year-old girl was diagnosed with explosive diabetes and lives in ICU#. According to thepaper.cn, Miss Lin, 29, in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, developed symptoms such as taste, abdominal pain, dizziness and multiple organ failure and was diagnosed with fulminant diabetes and entered ICU. The doctor said the situation was related to the woman's bad habit of milk tea.

The young people who lived on milk tea never expected to get into the ICU bar because of a little milk tea. So how does milk tea, which seems harmless to people and animals, bring beautiful experience to contemporary young people, make people fat and even bring life-threatening risks? You know, milk tea is addictive because the fat and sugar in it bring good flavor and taste. A large amount of sugar in milk tea activates the sweet receptors on the taste buds, which send signals to the brain, and signals in the corresponding areas are activated, further triggering the reward mechanism to secrete dopamine, making people feel excited and happy as they drink. The Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission has issued an article saying that a cup of milk tea with normal sweetness usually contains about 35 grams of sugar, and some even reach 50 grams, which has reached the level of added sugar stipulated by the World Health Organization. Can you believe that you don't just drink a cup of milk tea in front of the screen? The rumor that "milk tea becomes porridge" is not false, many people like to add all kinds of small ingredients to milk tea, such as pearl, boba, pudding, coconut and so on. How to calculate the sugar in these small materials? As we all know, sugar and fat are the culprits that make people fat. Not only does it make people fat, we have to admit that the current milk tea market is mixed. Some milk tea shops have fat powder instead of milk to reduce costs, while excess fat powder will have an impact on human health. But the raw material of vegetable fat powder is not difficult to buy, a treasure can be seen everywhere.

Fat plant powder is also known as "cream". After searching, it is a new product with refined vegetable oil or hydrogenated vegetable oil and casein as the main raw materials. The main components of plant fat powder are hydrogenated vegetable oil, glucose syrup, sodium caseinate and sodium aluminosilicate. Among these ingredients, partially hydrogenated vegetable oils contain trans fatty acids. In July 2020, the Sichuan Provincial Health Commission released an article called "revealing the ingredients of milk tea. What are the dangers of drinking milk tea for a long time?" It is mentioned that the intake of trans fatty acids is positively correlated with the incidence of cardiovascular disease. At the same time, the Dietary guidelines for Chinese residents also recommend that the daily intake of trans fatty acids should not exceed 2g. But milk tea made with plant fat powder contains 0.5g to 2.7g trans fatty acids per 300ml, some even as high as 6.2g, far exceeding the standard.

Seeing here, do you start to hesitate to drink milk tea after that? Don't be afraid, you should also be able to make a choice when drinking milk tea. Here are some suggestions:

Try to choose milk tea with fresh milk.

When sweetness is optional, do not use whole sugar. Less sugar, no sugar is best.

Exercise more after drinking milk tea and reduce other energy intake

Again, it tastes good, but don't drink too much.
