Color food into children's health killer experts suggest that stay away from the color charm
Recently, a number of real-name authentication microblogging broke the news that do not eat solid form of old yoghurt and jelly, "the inside is terrible."
In a large supermarket in the center of Shanghai, the reporter saw that the price of old yoghurt is much higher than that of ordinary plain yoghurt. For example, a brand of 160 grams of old yoghurt sells for 4.5 yuan per cup, while the same brand of 100 grams of plain sour milk costs 7.2 yuan for 8 cups. According to this calculation, the price of the old yogurt is equivalent to more than three times the price of regular yogurt. Why is the price of old yogurt much higher?
Zhu Yi, associate professor of the Food Science and Nutritional Engineering College of China Agricultural University, said that the process is more complicated than stirring yogurt. If you strictly say that you want to do a good old yogurt, the protein content and fat content is about 1% higher than that of normal yogurt. However, due to bumps in the transport process, if the cost of light alone is too high, we must add a certain amount of gelatin to ensure the solidification performance, but we do not have to worry about adding gelatin indefinitely, because it adds a lot of Gelatin can be very hard to eat and can also affect the taste.
Reporters in the supermarket survey found that a brand of plain plain yogurt and old yoghurt on the nutrition table only energy and fat two, the old yogurt 1% higher than normal yogurt, and sodium, calcium and other content are the same. What is the difference in nutritional value between old and normal yogurt?
Zhu Yi: There is no big difference in price, the difference is small, protein may be 1% higher, and fat content will be higher. This is particularly conscience.
Temperatures have risen in recent days, and many people have eaten ice cream while shopping. However, the color of ice cream may become monotonous in the future. Recently, the Ministry of Health sent a letter on its official website that plans to withdraw 38 kinds of food additives, such as tea yellow pigment, tea green pigment, orange yellow, black currant red and many other colorants.
It is believed that people rarely know the foods they consume on a daily basis, and there are many food additives that simply cannot be named. Zhu Yi said that people use food as their heaven and righteousness, but when people use it as food, they are a bit deviant.
Zhu Yi: Usually added to food safety issues are nothing more than three, one is the use of illegal additives, such as melamine, Sudan red, lean meat extract, these are illegal additives; the second, the excessive use of food additives; Third, use food additives beyond the scope. Consumers usually come in contact with bleach, colorants, antioxidants, preservatives, and flavor sweeteners.
Of the 38 kinds of food additives that were withdrawn, half of them were pigments. What are the artificial colors that China is allowed to add at present? Colorful snacks are often the children's favorite, and artificial colors occur most often. Is it best to avoid letting children ingest artificial colors?
Zhu Yi: Our country has special restrictions on synthetic colors. Only soda, cold drinks, candy, and fruit juice can be used in small quantities. Parents should be especially careful not to let their children like colored snacks that are too brightly colored. The concept of healthy eating should be instilled from a particularly young age, try to keep him away from the charm of bright synthetic pigments, and encourage children to experience more of the original ecological food. Good taste. Many researches now show that the synthetic pigments that our country allows, such as sunset yellow, lemon yellow, and carmine, will slightly reduce children's intelligence quotient even within a specified range, and there are obvious behavioral patterns in children. Toxicity, such as hyperactivity, inattention, the younger the less harmful the more significant, so parents should pay more attention to the process of training children's eating habits, leaving them away from the colorful charm.
According to Singapore’s “Lianhe Zaobao†report, more than 67% of the 24 samples spotted in Taiwan contained aluminum. The reason for this result was the use of aluminum containing bulking agents in these products. If the human body ingests excessive amounts of aluminum, it will degrade memory and intelligence and may even cause fractures.
Zhu Yi: If the steamed buns are particularly large, especially white, they feel soft and are a bit like bread, which is usually added with a bulking agent, most of which contains aluminum. Second, if we want to avoid aluminum intake, we must use less canned beverages. Aluminum content in canned beverages is 3-6 times higher than that of bottled beverages. There are many children who like to eat puffed foods, which contain bulking agents.
For food safety, Beijing Chaoyang Law Firm Zheng Chuanyu counsels consumers and tries to show rational thinking when selecting goods.
Zheng Chuanxi: First of all, to judge advertising, whether there is exaggeration, whether it is necessary to believe these advertising remarks, or to choose food based on social experience and life experience. Consumers do not have to defend their rights, it is better to prioritize their rights, to advance their rights in the selection of goods, to minimize their physical damage, at least for the fast-food category is very meaningful.
