In the first 4 sessions, Professor Shen Lirong from the School of Biosystems Engineering and Food Science of Zhejiang University said that the intake of staple foods should be thicker (for details, please click - if you want to keep your body and want to dry rice, follow the professor of nutrition at Zhejiang University.
Because many people are worried about the excessive intake of sugar, there are more and more sugar-free foods on the market
"It's not necessarily true," said Professor Shen
According to the national standard "General Rules for the Labeling of Prepackaged Foods for Special Dietary Use", the requirement of "sugar-free" means that the sugar content per 100 grams or 100 ml of solid or liquid food is not more than 0.
In other words, the so-called sugar-free food is not completely sugar-free, but refers to the sugar content of the food does not exceed the standard
In order to maintain the taste, sugar-free foods will contain substitutes for sucrose.
However, due to the high cost of adding sweeteners such as sugar alcohols and oligosaccharides, most food companies use high-potency sweeteners, especially synthetic sweeteners, such as acesulfame potassium, saccharin, aspartame,
Many people think that sweetened beverages have no calories and are overdrinking
2] Sugar-free food, how should we choose
Professor Shen said: "The sugar-free foods on the market are quite confusing, and some equate sucrose-free with sugar-free; some businesses do not use sweeteners in accordance with the dosage prescribed by the state, and the content of sweeteners in their products often exceeds the standard; and Although it is labeled "sucrose-free", it is labeled with white sugar or glucose in its ingredient list
Professor Shen suggested that everyone must be cautious when buying sugar-free food.
First of all, you should carefully read the product ingredient list to see if it contains sucrose, white sugar, glucose, dextrin, maltose, starch syrup, corn syrup and other ingredients that may cause blood sugar to rise
