/ The editorial department compiled many coffee and hand cup merchants who have recently launched "400 times coffee", which is covered with a thick layer of coffee foam. It looks good and tastes good. However, the Weight Management Center of Taiwan Adventist Hospital Dietitian team leader Liu Yili said that 400 times coffee is indeed delicious, but it contains high sugar and caffeine and is best avoided by patients prone to insomnia and high blood pressure.

The correct name of the so-called 400 times coffee is "Dalgona coffee". It is said that it originated from "Hanji Handmade Coffee" in Macau. A South Korean variety show visited the local area to film the production of handmade coffee. The process, after being broadcast, caused great repercussions.

Although it claims that it requires manual brewing 400 times, the method is not difficult. Mix instant coffee powder, sugar and water in an equal ratio of 1:1:1, and use a whisk or With a blender, you can create thick coffee foam, and finally put it on top of the ice milk, which is the most powerful 400 times coffee nowadays.

Liu Yili said that preparing a cup of coffee 400 times uses about 15 grams of sugar, and the sugar content is shocking. According to the recommendations of the World Health Organization, it is best to control the daily sugar intake to less than 5% of the total calories. , taking adults as an example, the upper limit of sugar intake per day is 25 grams, but drinking 1 cup of coffee 400 times is equivalent to drinking at least 15 grams of sugar.

As for the total calories, a medium cup of latte (black coffee with fresh milk) has about 120 calories, but the raw material of 400 times coffee is 3-in-1 coffee and sugar, and the calories are far more than that of simple latte. Black coffee and latte may be as high as 300 to 400 calories.

It is worth noting that the caffeine in 400 times coffee is also high, about four times that of ordinary black coffee. Therefore, people with high blood pressure, migraines, and those who are prone to People with insomnia and gastroesophageal reflux should drink less to avoid discomfort.

Liu Yili reminded that 400 times coffee is milk-covered coffee with high sugar and high coffee. However, it does taste sweet and smooth. It is recommended that you add less sugar when brewing it yourself. In addition, choose soy milk as the base layer. , it also tastes good and is healthier.
