Sugar processing industrial acid, eating sugar is equal to eating lime? Don't believe these rumors about sugar.

Adding sugar to the lime-starch mixture?

Eat raw sugar and grow mites in your stomach?

These rumors about sugar

Let the friends who like to eat sugar worry.

Are these rumors really credible?

Come to China Internet joint rumor platform.

Listen to the truth and answer your question.

1. These toxic substances have been added to white sugar? That's bullshit！

1, industrial acid for soft candy processing?

Really: there is no production process of "soft candy processing industrial acid" at all. According to the national standard GB/T 1445-20 18, the total sugar content of the lowest grade of first-class soft white sugar is above 97.9%, so it is impossible to have a lot of acid and alkali, which will seriously affect the taste. China has been strictly managing the production of edible sugar, and has formulated detailed product quality standards and production technical regulations to constrain the production process. The quality and safety of edible sugar are completely guaranteed.

2. White sugar plus "lime starch mixture"?

Zhen Zhen: At present, the production process of white sugar in China mainly adopts sulfurous acid method or carbonic acid method. No matter which production process, starch or "lime starch mixture" will not be added in the production process. Starch gels when heated and hydrolyzes when exposed to acid. If starch is added in the production of edible sugar, it will increase the difficulty of cleaning, affect the crystallization of sucrose, not only increase the energy consumption of production, but also reduce the sugar yield. The sucrose purity of white sugar is very high (99.5%), and its chemical properties are very stable. There is no need to add anything else to extend the shelf life.

Second, will they have these effects by adding sugar? This is not the case!

1, adding sugar to tea can relieve alcohol?

Zhen Zhen: The basic principle of hangover is to make alcohol metabolize into acetaldehyde and acetic acid more quickly, and then excrete it. The metabolism of ethanol is mainly in the liver, which is first converted into acetaldehyde by ethanol dehydrogenase, then converted into acetic acid by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, and then further metabolized into carbon dioxide and water. The most important substances in tea are antioxidants such as caffeine and tea polyphenols, which can not promote the metabolism of alcohol into acetaldehyde and acetic acid; As for sugar, there is no evidence that it can promote alcohol metabolism. On the contrary, the intake of sugar will increase energy and aggravate the metabolic disorder caused by alcohol.

2. Will eating tomatoes with sugar grow mites in the body?

Zhen Zhen: The attribution of "white sugar causing mites" is not strict. Sugar is just one of many vectors that may cause mite infection. When sugar is not sealed, stored for a long time or in a polluted environment, mites may breed. If sugar is qualified and stored well, eating it raw will generally not lead to worms in the stomach. Besides, mites are not parasites. If eaten in the stomach, it will be killed by gastric juice and eventually excreted, which will not affect health. To avoid mites, don't throw the pot to sugar, and do a good job in food preservation and indoor hygiene.

3. Is it harmful to health to produce fructosyl lysine when eggs are cooked with sugar?

Really: Add sugar when you boil eggs. If the egg has solidified and denatured, lysine in the egg will hardly react with sugar. However, if they are mixed and heated, fructosyl lysine will be produced. However, the fructosyl lysine produced at this time is very small and will not cause harm to the body. To be on the safe side, it is recommended to add sugar after the eggs are fully solidified.

3. What's the difference between soft candy, white sugar and rock sugar?

In sugar-making technology, white sugar is made from sugarcane or beet through squeezing, clarification, boiling, crystallization, honey separation and drying. Soft sugar is made by adding invert syrup to fine sugar; Rock sugar is a block crystal obtained by heating white sugar to a suitable temperature and removing the water in white sugar. Although there may be some differences in crystal size and taste, their nutrients and calories are basically the same.

In our shopping process, if we only pursue the taste, we can choose soft candy because it tastes sweeter and easier to dissolve. But sugar is recommended for making cakes. In addition, the sugar used in traditional Chinese medicine and medicated diet is often rock sugar.

Real health reminder: Sugar is quickly converted into blood sugar after being digested and absorbed by the human body, which provides the energy needed by the human body and helps to restore physical strength and eliminate fatigue, but excessive intake will increase the risk of obesity, diabetes and other diseases. Dietary Guidelines for China Residents (20 16) first proposed to limit the intake of added sugar, which should not exceed 50g per day, preferably within 25g.
