We all know that milk tea bought by the roadside is unhealthy. It not only contains too much powdered sugar, but also contains many additives. Therefore, although the milk tea on the roadside tastes better, you should also know how to control your appetite and drink less milk tea. What additives do you often buy milk tea on the roadside? Buy a packet of milk tea casually, and we can see these things on its ingredient list, such as non-dairy powder, white sugar, instant tea powder, skimmed milk powder and various food additives, which are often used in roadside milk tea. Additives can be roughly divided into essence, creamer, pigment, thickener and sucrose substitute. Cream essence is non-dairy creamer, mainly made of sugar or oil, plus some food additives. Adding a small amount of non-dairy creamer to the beverage can give the beverage a very silky taste and improve the brewing quality of the beverage. Coffee companion and milk tea are mainly composed of non-dairy creamer, which contains a lot of trans fatty acids, high in oil, sugar and calories, and are typical three-high foods.

Sucrose substitutes in milk tea are mostly fructose corn syrup and sugar. These things are sweet as long as they are a little bit. In order to reduce costs, most tea shops will use these things. Compared with sucrose, it is very harmful to human health. Sugar is difficult to metabolize after entering the human body, and it is easy to cause various diseases. The thickener in milk tea generally uses many chemical elements, such as maltodextrin and xanthan gum, and a small number of merchants use corn starch.

Among all kinds of additives in milk tea, trans fatty acids are the most harmful to human health. As we all know, trans fatty acids are a very unhealthy additive. It is easy to get fat, easy to form blood clots, and it will also affect fertility, memory decline, and even cause coronary heart disease. In addition, excessive sugar is also very harmful to human health.
