Whether in the supermarket or at the table, we are exposed to a wide variety of “artificial foods” every day. The development of the modern chemical industry allows us to easily taste all kinds of mellow flavors and to get closer to the additives. One ice cream contains more than 10 additives, and one egg yolk contains more than 20 additives... These artificial foods are often very tasty, and various health claims are printed on the packaging. It literally became a delicious and convenient one. However, in the eyes of nutrition experts, these foods make people linger and savory, and can't conceal the essence of no nutrition.
Tune out the "Chemistry" delicious

Why is it that the tastes that make it difficult for us to be cut off are called junk food by nutrition experts? "The reason is simple. They are made entirely from human tongues. These products are tuned with a variety of things and eventually find the tongue's favorite combination, not considering nutrition and health." Dalian City Wang Xingguo, deputy secretary-general of the Nutrition Society, told some reporters in the Life Times indignantly. In his view, "junk food" is not limited to black-processed, illegally added, poisonous, or food with hidden safety hazards. Most of them are qualified, legal, and even commonly eaten. "From the shape to the taste, all tastes are simulated by man-made substances, pigments, spices, sweeteners, thickeners and other food additives are readily available; the quality of the main raw materials is low, shoddy, and lacks important nutrients. This is Unnutritive artificial food, even if some foods have written health statements on the packaging, it is still difficult to conceal the true nature of its junk food.” Fan Zhihong, an associate professor at the Food College of China Agricultural University, also believes that to measure whether a food is good or bad, first of all, it should be Can provide beneficial substances to the human body, especially whether the nutrition provided is missing. From this perspective, many foods on the market today can be considered as non-nutritive and unhealthy. Because they contain too much sugar and starch, there are too few vitamins and minerals in the body.

The most "junk" man-made food in the eyes of nutrition experts

We are used to eating these foods in our lives and are unprepared and it is difficult to place them in the trash with junk food. To this end, several dietitians jointly listed the “junk” man-made foods that are most easily overlooked in life. These seemingly delicious foods may not be touched for a lifetime.

Crispy cookies. Most biscuits are based on oil, sugar, and starch. Even milk-based biscuits contain very little milk. Its protein content is much lower than that of taro and other staple foods, and the more brittle the protein is, the less protein it has. In order to achieve an ideal taste, crispy biscuits contain at least 20% to 30% oil, and all oils contain a lot of unhealthy saturated fat, which has a great impact on blood vessels. Among them, the delicious cookie has worse nutritional value. Because of the use of animal fats and shortening as a raw material for fats and oils, the fat has a higher degree of saturation and may also contain more unhealthy “trans fatty acids”, among which are beneficial dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals. The material is limited.

Send and crisp foods. Look at the ingredient list. In a small pie, remove the basic ingredients. The remaining 245 ingredients are additives. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the "additive" Riga food. Although the faction is "non-fried", its fat content is not low. According to the nutrient composition analysis, it is a typical high energy, high fat, high sodium, low protein junk food. Snack snacks have a "different" with a lot of fat, additives, nutrients are minimal, all flavors rely on the essence of reconciliation.

Potato chips puffed food. Extruded foods are mainly starch-based materials. After high-temperature and high-pressure puffing, they are sprayed with grease and various condiments. This treatment will reduce the protein quality of the main ingredient, and vitamins will suffer a certain loss. The more crunchy the puffed food, the more likely it is to contain an excess amount of the bulking agent. If the aluminum in the bulking agent exceeds the standard, it will cause damage to the nervous system.

Ready to eat nutritious cereals. Cereals on the market are mostly made up of several kinds of cereals, of which oatmeal only accounts for a small part, and some even do not contain oats at all. Processed fast-cooked cereals, ready-to-eat ready-to-cook cereals, and “nutritional cereals” are popular. Some are made entirely of other flour or starch; others add a lot of sugar and oil for taste, and they are easy to ingest high calories.

jelly. The basic ingredients are colloidal substances extracted from seaweed, such as seaweed gum and carrageenan, which cannot be digested and absorbed by the human body but pass through the intestine in the form of jelly. Many colloidal substances are harmless to the human body, but they can form complexes with calcium, zinc and other minerals, and then take away these minerals, and nutrient absorption will be affected.

Fruit Jane. Guo Zhen entered our lives very early. Although there are tempting flavors and fruit pictures marked on the packaging, such as orange flavor and fruity flavor, the fruit can actually contain no fruits such as oranges, lemons, etc. Fruit flavors are literally man-made foods. Its additive list accounts for most of the additives. Even if it contains vitamin C, according to the national standards for writing according to the ingredients list, the ingredients are arranged in descending order. Vitamin C in Guozhen is even less than artificial pigment.

Popcorn. Popcorn from traditional crafts usually does not put oil, and the fat content is very low. Although popcorn sold in supermarkets is no longer subject to excessive lead, hydrogenated vegetable oils are added to many products. The trans fatty acids contained in them are harmful to the human body.

candy. Almost all confectionery products can be included in the no nutrition, their sugar content is more than 90%, other ingredients are flavors, colors and so on. Some milk-flavored sugars have no milk at all, and the taste is also counterbalanced by the creamer. A small number of candy containing milk, because the sugar content is still more than milk content, its nutritional value can be ignored.

Ham sausage. According to Wang Xingguo, some ham sausages in the market are made of chicken skin, sewage, entrails and plant proteins, and are processed with pigments and spices. Although they are called meat, they lack basic nutrients such as protein, vitamins and minerals.

Do not take delicious for health

The “junk” man-made foods listed by the above nutrition experts are actually only the tip of the iceberg in life. In order to cater to people’s taste buds, more and more artificial foods are constantly coming to you. Have these foods, which depart from the basic functions of food, have any value? In Wang Xingguo’s opinion, people’s pursuit of food color, smell, taste, and taste is understandable. However, when all the good taste of food comes from artificially manufactured and added cheap chemical substances, this pursuit has been extreme. “Some people think that artificial junk food is delicious and it is difficult to leave it alone. In fact, this is largely determined by habits and personal feelings. Sometimes people think that they are delicious because of your eating habits, so I often advise parents not to give children food. Junk food, so that they are accustomed to eating, and lifelong preferences.” Fan Zhihong also believes that too many processed snacks are now pulled out of raw materials with low nutritional value, which adds a lot of oil, sugar, refined starch, flavor, sweet Flavors, etc., can make people gradually lose the ability to judge the quality of food. In addition to the artificial taste created in the mouth, it is not clear what is good for the body and what is not good. “People's good mouth” is largely not a physical necessity, but a kind of psychological dependence. Poor nutrition snacks do not need to regret eating forever.

Finally, Chen Xiafei, dietitian of the Department of Nutrition of Shanghai Huadong Hospital, reminded consumers that good food should be built on top of safe food quality. Consumers must not only learn relevant knowledge, but also learn how to identify healthy foods. "Now most people will pay attention to the production date or shelf life when buying food. In order to get food in the future, we must first look at the food ingredient list and understand the proportion of the most important ingredients and materials, and we can roughly judge the nutritional characteristics of food; Learn to look at food nutrition tables, know calories, fat, etc., calculate the level of nutritional value, do not easily be fooled by the health label on the packaging of goods."
