Children's intelligence "killer" of color food

Guide: the old yoghurt is said to have little nutritional value, "high value" comes from high publicity cost; many foods win the favor of consumers with bright colors, but long-term consumption of foods containing colorants has an impact on health; doughnuts, kelp and fans are delicious, but may also become an intellectual "killer" because of the use of aluminum containing bulking agent "Every day 315" this issue concerns: food nutrition and safety! Food safety comics (information chart) zhongguang.com, Beijing, April 15, according to the program "every day 315" of the voice of economy, recently, several real name certified microblogs revealed that it was "terrible inside" to stop eating solid old yoghurt and jelly In a large supermarket in the center of Shanghai, the reporter saw that the price of old yogurt is much higher than that of ordinary plain yogurt For example, the price of 160 g old yogurt of a brand is 4.5 yuan / cup, while that of 100 g old yogurt of the same brand is 7.2 yuan / 8 cups According to this calculation, the price of old yoghurt is more than three times that of ordinary yoghurt Why is the price of old yogurt much higher? Zhu Yi, an associate professor at the school of food science and nutrition engineering, China Agricultural University, said the technology is more complex than stirred yoghurt If strictly speaking, to make a good old yogurt, the protein content and fat content are about 1% higher than that of ordinary yogurt However, due to the bumps in the transportation process, if the cost of material selection is too high, a certain amount of gelatin should be added to ensure the solidification performance, but we don't need to worry about the unlimited amount of gelatin in it, because it will be very hard to eat and affect the taste According to the investigation in the supermarket, there are only two items on the nutrition table of a brand of plain yoghurt and old yoghurt: energy and fat The content of old yoghurt is 1% higher than that of ordinary yoghurt, while the content of sodium and calcium are the same How much difference does the old yoghurt and the ordinary yoghurt have in the nutritional value? Zhu Yi: it's not as big as the price gap The gap is very small The protein may be 1% higher and the fat content may be higher It's still very conscientious In recent years, the temperature has increased, and many people eat ice cream while shopping However, in the future, the color of ice cream may become monotonous Recently, the Ministry of health sent a letter on its official website to cancel 38 kinds of food additives, including tea yellow, tea green, orange yellow, black currant red and many other colorants It is believed that people seldom know that there are many food additives in their daily food that can not be called famous food additives at all Zhu Yi said that food is the most important thing for the people, and it's just as the heaven and the earth But when people eat food, they are a little rebellious Zhu Yi: there are three kinds of food safety problems that are usually added One is the use of illegal additives, such as melamine, Sudan red and clenbuterol These are all illegal additives The second is the excessive use of food additives The third is the excessive use of food additives Consumers are usually exposed to six main categories: bleach, colorants, antioxidants, preservatives, flavors and sweeteners Of the 38 food additives withdrawn, half of them are pigments What artificial pigments are allowed to be added in China? Colorful snacks are often the favorite of children, and the frequency of artificial pigment is also the highest Is it the best way to avoid artificial coloring? Zhu Yi: our country has very strict restrictions on synthetic pigments Only soda, cold drinks, sweets and juice dew can be used in a small amount Parents should take special care not to let their children like colorful snacks with too bright colors The healthy concept of eating should be instilled from a very young age They should try to keep them away from the charm of bright synthetic pigments and encourage their children to feel more beautiful taste of original ecological food Now there are many studies that show that the synthetic pigments that our country allows to use, such as sunset yellow, lemon yellow and carmine, will slightly reduce children's IQ even within the specified amount range, and there are obvious behavioral toxicity for children, such as hyperactivity, inattention, the smaller the age, the more significant the harm, so parents are cultivating children's diet habits In the process of getting used to it, we should pay more attention to keep them away from colorful charm More than 67% of the 24 samples sampled in Taiwan contain aluminum, which is due to the use of aluminum containing bulking agents in these products, according to Lianhe Zaobao, Singapore If the human body ingests too much aluminum, it will degrade memory and intelligence, and may even be prone to fracture Zhu Yi: if the steamed bread is very big, white, soft to the touch, and tastes a bit like bread, it is usually added with fluffy agent, most of which contain aluminum Second, if we want to avoid the consumption of aluminum, we need to use less canned beverages The aluminum content of canned beverages is 3-6 times higher than that of bottled beverages There are many children like to eat puffed food, which contains fluffy agent For food safety, Zheng Chuankai, a lawyer from Beijing Chaoyang law firm, advises consumers to think rationally when choosing commodities Zheng Chuankai: first of all, we should judge whether there are exaggerations in advertisements, whether we need to trust these advertisements, or choose food according to social experience and life experience Rather than defending rights, consumers should take care of their own customs before safeguarding rights, advance the safeguarding of rights in choosing goods, and minimize their own physical damage, which is of great significance at least for fast-selling food.
