Open your eyes to distinguish "artificial" food margarine. Which foods is it hidden in?
Cookies, chocolate pie, salad dressing, ice cream, bubble tea, etc.
How is it disguised?
Be careful if you see the following words in food ingredients!
Its harm:
Increase the risk of coronary heart disease and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Natural butter is extracted from milk or cream, while margarine is solid butter by heating vegetable oil to a high temperature and cooling it with hydrogen. It is probably extracted from genetically modified soybean oil!
Margarine itself is fat and high in calories, so additives are needed to improve the appearance and taste. Although margarine has various nice names: vegetable creamer, non-dairy creamer, shortening and vegetable butter, in fact, they all have the same chemical name "trans fatty acid". This trans fatty acid will increase the risk of death by 34%. Specifically, the risk of death from coronary heart disease increased by 28%, and the risk of death from cardiovascular disease increased by 2 1%. Eating too much will affect the healthy development of the body.
Margarine. What foods is it hidden in?
Cake, milk tea, French fries, bread, ice cream, etc.
How is it disguised?
It is generally not disguised, and margarine will be written directly on the ingredient list.
Its harm:
Food accumulation, weakened gastrointestinal function and even tumor.
Natural cream is animal cream, which is made of 100% milk, so it naturally exudes a strong milk fragrance and yellow luster. Margarine is a cream substitute developed at the end of18th century. The raw material is liquid vegetable oil, and its essence is trans fatty acid. Many children will accumulate food after eating the cake, and they will not be able to eat the next day, or even have a serious fever.
Therefore, if children want to eat cakes, it is best to buy "natural cream" cakes from a trusted regular cake shop, instead of "margarine" containing a lot of trans fatty acids. These things are only bad for children, and there is no benefit at all!
Artificial jelly food. What food is it hidden in?
Jelly, pudding, etc.
How is it disguised?
Carrageenan, xanthan gum
Its harm:
Affect the absorption of calcium and zinc and hinder metabolism.
Jelly and pudding are children's favorite snacks. In fact, if you look closely at the ingredients of jelly, you will know that these jelly foods are processed with water, sugar and thickener as raw materials. In order to make artificial jelly food eat, smooth Q-bomb will add seaweed gum, carrageenan, etc., which can not be digested and absorbed by human body, but only pass through the intestine in the form of jelly, and may remain in the intestine for people with poor digestive ability. Although these colloidal substances are harmless to the human body, they will eventually be excreted, but they will affect the absorption of minerals such as calcium and zinc, which is harmful to health.
Moreover, the essence that makes jelly produce attractive fragrance is mostly prepared by dissolving some compounds such as lipids and aldehydes in alcohol, while the bright color of jelly is the result of adding pigment synthesized by chemical reaction with coal tar as raw material. After eating jelly with essence and pigment for a long time, it has no nutritional value and certain toxicity. Because of the low detoxification and excretion function of children's liver and kidney, it is easy to accumulate toxic substances in the body, hinder metabolism, affect development, and repeatedly destroy the gastric mucosal barrier and lead to gastritis.
Artificial seafood food. What foods is it hidden in?
Fish balls, shrimp balls, crab sticks, etc
How is it disguised?
Looking at the crab stick, is it like crab meat? Fish balls also seem to be the color of fish, and I really thought they were made of fish. Shrimp balls are also light red, like the color of cooked shrimp meat.
Its harm:
High oil and salt increase the risk of obesity
When eating hot pot, mala Tang, griddle, etc., are fish balls, shrimp balls and thousand layers of tofu the favorite foods of many children? Do you think that the fish balls, shrimp balls and tofu you eat are really made of fish, shrimp and tofu? Actually, it's not. Most of the ingredients in this food are starch. It's hard to find fish in fish balls, shrimp in shrimp balls, and crab sticks. In fact, there is no crab meat at all. Fish balls and shrimp balls are often made with more food additives such as oil, salt and other condiments and flavors, which can be said to be foods with high salt, oil and energy. Children who eat too much will easily increase the risk of obesity.
Besides, let's not eat anything that nutritionists can't order when eating hot pot!
Man-made processed food. What food is it hidden in?
Ham sausage, bacon, canned meat
How is it disguised?
Ham sausage, lunch meat and other foods seem to be almost the same color as meat. In fact, I don't know how much meat is in it, and starch accounts for the vast majority.
Its harm:
Long-term consumption can cause cancer.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer, a subsidiary of the World Health Organization, published a latest assessment this year, which listed processed meat such as sausages as the highest risk 1 class carcinogens, which were at the same level as cigarettes, alcohol, asbestos and arsenic, and pointed out that the risk of cancer increased by nearly 1/5 when eating 50g a day! Processed meat will not only lead to human colorectal cancer, but also be related to gastric cancer, which increases the risk of cancer. Even if the meat inside is reassuring meat, the production process is clean and hygienic, but it also contains a lot of nitrite. Excessive intake of food will lead to food poisoning, such as headache, dizziness, chest tightness, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, and even cancer after long-term consumption.
Moreover, in order to make it taste better, a large number of various additives are added in the production process. Therefore, these are low-nutrient meats with high fat, high carbohydrate and low protein, and they have no nutritional value at all.
In place of cocoa butter, which food is it hidden in?
Chocolate, chocolate products
How is it disguised?
It is generally a substitute for cocoa butter, which was originally listed on the ingredient list of food.
Its harm:
Long-term consumption of such foods will lead to indigestion, renal failure and iodine deficiency in babies.
The structure of cocoa butter substitute is very different from that of natural cocoa butter, and it is a very complex fatty acid. Cocoa butter substitutes are rich in protein. Eating too much at one time not only hinders the absorption of iron, but also easily causes protein indigestion, abdominal distension, diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms. Under normal circumstances, protein, a plant that people eat in the body, undergoes metabolic changes, and finally most of it becomes nitrogen-containing waste, which is excreted by the kidneys.
Eating a lot of cocoa butter substitutes and taking too much plant protein will inevitably increase the nitrogen-containing waste generated in the body, increase the burden on the kidneys, and further decline the renal function, which is not conducive to the health of children.
Snacks with many additives are still far away!
In addition to the above-mentioned "artificial foods", the following foods actually contain a lot of additives, which are still unfavorable to children's physical development. Parents should also remove them from their children's snack list!
Pie and crisp food
Look at the ingredient list. In a small pie, except for the basic ingredients, the other 24 or 5 kinds of raw materials are additives. It is no exaggeration to say that this is adding food to "additives". Although pie is "non-fried", its fat content is not low.
According to the analysis of nutrient composition table, it is a typical junk food with high energy, high fat, high sodium and low protein. Crispy snacks have the same effect, containing a lot of fat, additives and few nutrients, and all tastes are basically blended by essence.
popcorn
Popcorn with traditional technology usually does not put oil and has low fat content. Although the popcorn sold in supermarkets no longer has the problem of excessive lead, many products have added hydrogenated vegetable oil, which is harmful to the human body. Long-term consumption of foods with high lead content such as popcorn will make people mentally retarded, children stunted and malnourished.
Potato chips puffed food
The puffed food is mainly made of starch. After being puffed at high temperature and high pressure, it is sprayed with oil and various condiments. This treatment will reduce the protein quality of the main ingredients, and the vitamins will also be lost. The crisper the puffed food, the more likely it is to contain excessive swelling agent. If the aluminum in the swelling agent exceeds the standard, it will do harm to the nervous system.
Natural food is the safest. Parents should try their best to make food natural for their children, such as fresh vegetables, fruits and meat, and don't eat too much deeply processed food.
