How unhealthy is the milk tea that young people can't quit?

In fact, it is not surprising that caffeine is detected in milk tea, because there is tea in milk tea, so there will be caffeine. But according to the news report above, the caffeine content in milk tea is higher than that in tea. As we all know, the most intuitive thing about caffeine intake is that it will bring insomnia. I believe many people have the experience of drinking milk tea during the day and staying up late at night. But is caffeine completely untouchable? As for caffeine, we don't need to be overly vigilant. It is safe for healthy adults to consume no more than 400 mg of caffeine every day. Teenagers and pregnant women are more sensitive to caffeine and generally do not encourage caffeine. Of course, it's not completely untouchable. In addition, people like caffeine intolerance, patients with gastric ulcer and glaucoma are not suitable for excessive intake.

To say that the biggest harm of milk tea is that the sugar content is too high in the eyes of micro-doctors. Some people may say, I'll just drink sugar-free milk tea. But many surveys show that sugar-free milk tea also contains sugar. Free sugar recommended by the World Health Organization (refers to various sugars added by human beings when making food, such as sugar in fresh fruits, lactose in milk, starch in cereals and potatoes, etc. ) is limited to less than 10% of the total daily energy, which is about 45-50g of sugar for adults with light exercise. This number sounds a lot. In fact, a cup of milk tea is worth a day. Eating too much sugar will not only bring obesity, but also increase the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes.

Although milk tea has tea, it doesn't necessarily have milk! So if there is no milk, what should I add? In fact, it is creamer, also known as non-dairy creamer, which is an additive allowed by the state. The main ingredient is hydrogenated vegetable oil. If you add inferior vegetable fat powder to milk tea, there will be a lot of trans fatty acids. Excessive intake of trans fatty acids will pose a threat to health. It will increase low-density lipoprotein and decrease high-density lipoprotein in human blood, induce arteriosclerosis and increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Friends who like to drink milk tea must know that in addition to traditional milk tea, almost all milk tea shops will launch fruit tea. In fact, fruit tea also has a big pit, that is, the fruit inside is not necessarily fresh! As we said before, ordinary fruits are a little rotten and moldy, so it is recommended to throw them away directly. It is not recommended to cut off the rotten parts before eating, but tea shops do not necessarily do so. In recent years, it has been reported that tea shops use rotten fruits to make fruit tea and squeeze juice. Eating rotten fruit for a long time is not only bad for the stomach, but also carcinogenic.
