Pearls in milk tea may indeed block the intestines. Bubble tea first spread to the mainland from Taiwan Province. "Pearl" sounds great, but in fact it is also called "pink circle" in Taiwan Province. The main raw materials are various starches, such as cassava flour, potato flour, corn flour and so on. Of course, the "pearl" made of pure starch will never have such a fragrant smell, so in the production process, various merchants began to show their magical power and add various substances to increase elasticity and viscosity to make the pearl more chewy and delicious.

Although there is no problem in the normal production of "Pearl" in bubble tea, it doesn't mean that you can safely drink it. There are news reports from time to time that drinking too much bubble tea will lead to intestinal obstruction. However, most of these cases are caused by drinking too much bubble tea and not fully chewing "pearls".

Starch food can only be digested in the mouth and intestines, but the stomach can't digest starch food. Too many "pearls" that have not been chewed directly enter the intestine, and the pearl particles stick together and agglomerate due to viscosity, which further increases the difficulty of intestinal digestion. At this time, some people with weak digestive function are prone to gastrointestinal discomfort such as abdominal distension and abdominal pain, and severe intestinal obstruction.

There are no pearls in bubble tea, and most of them have no milk or tea. Instead, they use a lot of vegetable fat powder to create a vivid "milk feeling". Therefore, the first ingredient list in bubble tea is mainly written with vegetable fat powder, and the milk flavor is made of milk flavor essence. Non-dairy creamer not only lacks the nutrition of milk, but also contains trans fatty acids, which will increase blood cholesterol. At the same time, bubble tea has a high sugar content. Therefore, milk tea is a typical "three highs" drink with high oil, high sugar and high food additives.
