Non-dairy creamer, also known as creamer, is a new product with hydrogenated vegetable oil (a product that is very harmful to the body) and casein as the main raw materials. Recent research shows that hydrogenation of vegetable oil is actually a process of changing the unsaturated fatty acids of vegetable oil into a saturated or semi-saturated state. This process will produce trans fatty acids, which can increase low-density lipoproteins and high-density lipoproteins in human blood. Reduced lipoproteins can induce arteriosclerosis and increase the risk of heart disease and cerebrovascular accidents. The production process of "vegetable butter" or hydrogenated oil will produce a large amount of trans fatty acids. There is a clear correlation between the intake of trans fatty acids and the incidence of cardiovascular disease. So this correlation is very obvious. positive relationship. Studies have found that increasing the intake of about 0.1 gram on the basis of about 0.5 gram per day will basically double the incidence of cardiovascular disease. A study by Harvard Medical School in the United States found that trans fatty acid intake is significantly related to the risk of coronary heart disease. Even if the amount of trans fat consumed in the body does not exceed 5 grams per day, the risk of heart disease will increase by 25%. The research results have attracted widespread attention in Western countries. Scholars from various countries have successively conducted studies on this issue. The results have found that in addition to increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, trans fatty acids can also interfere with the metabolism of essential fatty acids and affect children's growth and development and nervous system. Health, increases the risk of type 2 diabetes and causes infertility in women.
In 2003, Denmark took the lead in stipulating that from June 1 of that year, any oil containing more than 2 trans fatty acids in the Danish market would be banned; and from December 31, 2003, this regulation was changed. Expand to processed food oils and fats. This regulation is effective for both domestically produced products in Denmark and foreign products; in the same year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published regulations stating that starting from January 1, 2006, the saturated fatty acid content of products must be stated on food nutrition labels. and the content of trans fatty acids; Canada and Brazil require that food containing more than 0.5 grams of trans fatty acids must indicate the content of trans fatty acids on the label; the Netherlands, France, Sweden and other countries require that the content of trans fatty acids in foods must be controlled 5 The following; starting from July 1, 2007, all catering businesses in New York City will stop cooking oils and shortenings containing trans fatty acids; starting from July 1, 2008, all catering businesses in New York City will completely ban cooking oils and shortenings containing trans fatty acids. food.
Since hydrogenated oil entered human recipes as an industrial substitute 100 years ago, it has not only improved the taste of food, but also quietly posed a huge threat to human health, so much so that some Scientists compare the hazards of hydrogenated oil to DDT, a pesticide that was widely used in the last century, and call hydrogenated oil another DDT. However, since the 1970s, countries around the world have banned the use of DDT. So, when will we get rid of the shadow of hydrogenated oil? For the health of yourself and your family, sensible people should try not to buy foods containing non-dairy creamer, shortening, vegetable butter, and hydrogenated butter that contain a large amount of trans fatty acids. Because eating that food means suicide or homicide.
