    【Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network Industry News】 When it comes to the important tools for young people to socialize, milk tea is listed among them
    .
    As a common mixed drink, because of its rich taste, good looking, high degree of customization, fast speed of new products and other characteristics, it has attracted different age groups, especially young people, and even many people use ordering milk tea as a means to quickly pull into relationships with colleagues and classmates, and have developed a special set of milk tea social culture
    .
    It is precisely because of the high popularity that the news about milk tea in the past few years, regardless of the direction of praise or disapproval, can always cause heated discussions
    in the crowd.

     
    Recently, in response to the problem of "milk tea drinking can't sleep" that has been mentioned, some media sent a variety of local Internet celebrity milk tea to professional testing institutions for testing, and the test results also directly provided a clear answer to this question - "caffeine"
    .

     
    It is true that milk tea contains tea, and tea itself contains caffeine, but according to the results given by the testing department, 9 of the 10 milk teas contain caffeine, and some of the caffeine content is as direct as high as 288 mg / kg, which obviously exceeds the normal caffeine content
    in milk tea.
    To put it bluntly, caffeine-containing additives
    are used in these drinks.

     
    In fact, additives themselves have always been a sensitive topic
    in the milk tea market.
    Considering the cost control and capacity needs, a large part of the current milk tea on the market is not made of "milk" and "tea", but uses "vegetable fat" or "creamer" instead of milk, tea crushed instead of tea leaves, and in this process to ensure the flavor of milk tea, a large number of food flavors, concentrated pulp, sugar or sweeteners, food additives to
    blend.
    And these are enough to make "milk tea" bear the name of unhealthy drinks, in today's words, "full of technology and ruthlessness"
    .

     
    Moreover, from the perspective of consumers, whether it is conventional sugar or caffeine, or more complex sugar substitutes and flavors, frequent intake will bring serious harm
    to the body.
    For example, the aforementioned caffeine, adult intake of excessive caffeine may cause insomnia, induce osteoporosis, affect heart and brain health, etc
    .

     
    When it comes to this, the conclusion is also obvious, milk tea is indeed not suitable for drinking
    more.
    But doesn't it mean that milk tea can't be drunk? Of course not
    .
    Although milk tea does not have any relationship with health, as a common beverage on the market, it is naturally impossible not to pay attention to its food safety issues
    .
    In fact, even the much-maligned trans fatty acid problem is controlled by milk tea (the content of trans fatty acids per 300 grams of milk tea is about 0.
    5-2.
    7g).

    Therefore, if it is only used as an occasional snack, it is completely fine, and milk tea social can still exist
    as a young way of socializing.
    More importantly, consumers should learn to reasonably arrange the time to drink milk tea and control the amount
    .

     
    In addition, the popularity of milk tea also reminds the relevant departments to pay attention to the supervision of the milk tea industry
    .
    We can't blame all the problems on the beverage of milk tea, but ensuring market regulation of this beverage is important for the general
    public's food safety.
