Boutique coffee, common sense, drink coffee, use less, partner, use more milk.

Many people accompany instant drinks every day, often making bags of coffee or milk tea, but this fragrant drink should not be drunk. Fan Zhihong, an associate professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Safety at China Agricultural University, warned that "these fragrant drinks contain trans fatty acids, which are the most harmful to people's cardio-cerebrovascular system."

Many instant ingredients have "plant fat powder", which is usually made of glucose syrup, hydrogenated vegetable oil and sodium caseinate, as well as stabilizers, emulsifiers and anti-caking agents. Hydrogenated vegetable oils contain trans fatty acids. The nutrition community is convinced that trans fatty acids are more dangerous than saturated fatty acids.

Fan Zhihong suggests that if you are used to drinking coffee, try not to use coffee companions, but directly add hot whole milk to the coffee, which is not only equally fragrant, but also has higher nutritional value. In addition, particularly sweet oatmeal, sesame paste and other instant foods also contain trans fatty acids, while pearl milk tea is made from milk essence, which also requires vigilance.

Experts also suggest that "hydrogenated vegetable oil" is good at "transformation". If you see "margarine", "shortening", "vegetable cream" and "margarine", eat less!

Hydrogenated vegetable oils:

It is the hydrogenation of ordinary liquid vegetable oil to make it solid or semi-solid. The function of hydrogenated vegetable oil is to prevent the deterioration of vegetable oil, to facilitate preservation, and to improve the appearance and taste.

This method of treatment, which can bring delicacy to people, turns most of the natural unsaturated fatty acids in vegetable oil into saturated fatty acids, and the unsaturated fatty acids may lose their natural cis structure. produce unnatural trans fatty acids.

Trans fatty acids have four major hazards:

Increase blood viscosity and cohesion, promote thrombosis; increase low density lipoprotein cholesterol (bad cholesterol), lower high density lipoprotein cholesterol (good cholesterol), promote arteriosclerosis, increase the incidence of type 2 diabetes and breast cancer; affect the normal growth and development of infants and adolescents, and may have adverse effects on the development of the central nervous system.
