a well-known vitamin functional drink has been trapped in the use of additives. This news once again pushed the previously controversial functional beverage to the cusp of the storm. In fact, in the eyes of nutrition experts, functional drinks are not "gods" or "tonic", only to be drinkable in order to achieve the corresponding function, excessive drinking may be harmful to health.
functional beverages need to drink
Wang Yumei, director of the Department of nutrition at the First Affiliated Hospital of Tsinghua University, said that for normal healthy people, there is no practical sense to drink functional drinks except to be able to quench thirst without physical consumption and no additional energy.
in fact, there are clear explanations and definitions on functional beverages. The definition of functional beverages in the Chinese soft drink classification standard is to adjust the proportion of the nutrients and content of natural nutrients in the beverage to adapt to the nutritional needs of some special people, including three major categories, sports drinks, nutritious drinks and other special use drinks.
Wang Yumei points out that every kind of functional drink is aimed at a particular population, so when choosing a functional drink, consumers need to read the ingredients in each drink carefully and choose the drinks according to their own characteristics. For example, after sports consumption is large, some sports drinks can be consumed, which contains minerals that can rapidly supplement the substances consumed by human movement. If the body does not need it, this kind of drink is certainly not the human need, and this kind of drink is not suitable for everyone, for example, children and high blood pressure patients should be careful to use this kind of drink.
excessive taurine affects heart health
many functional drinks leave people with the impression that they can overcome fatigue and relieve fatigue. Experts point out that adding some ingredients into functional beverages can indeed relieve fatigue and replenish physical strength, such as caffeine and taurine. A few days ago, the reporter visited some big supermarkets in Beijing and found that taurine and caffeine were added in many vitamin drinks, sports drinks and other functional drinks on the shelves of the supermarket.
Wang Yumei introduced that taurine is a nutritional fortifier, also known as alpha - aminoethnonic acid, which is first separated from the cow yellow and is a kind of non protein amino acid containing sulfur. Taurine does have many good functions, such as anti fatigue, improving immunity and promoting intelligence development in infants and young children. Caffeine plays a major role in stimulating nerves.
however, the intake of taurine and caffeine is not as good as possible. Reporters found that many taurine containing functional drinks did not indicate their specific content. It is understood that, in general, normal people taurine: 700~1000 mg, 1-2 times a day (up to 6 grams per day).
researchers at the Henry Ford hospital in Detroit, United States, found that high levels of caffeine and taurine increase blood pressure and heart rate and affect heart function. A study of the Australian hospital in Australia has found that a brand of functional drink can make blood thicker and may increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. In the TheAnnalsofPharmacotherapy, a test by researchers at the Wayne State University was carried out by researchers at the Wayne State University on functional drinks, mainly a brand of energy drink: 15 healthy adults drank 2 functional drinks a day for 7 days, and the results showed that their blood pressure increased by 10 mm Hg on average. The heart rate increases 5 times a minute. This means that for those suffering from hypertension or arrhythmia, the drink may not be appropriate.
functional drinks mix and hash high risk
a lot of functional drinks or cocktail lovers' favorite, using various kinds of functional drinks to mix all kinds of wine to make delicious drinks, and also a best seller in many bars.
however, because caffeine may be contained in functional beverages, this practice may damage the health of the heart.
Li Shuyuan, the executive director of the Chinese Nutrition Association and director of the clinical nutrition branch, pointed out that because of the excitatory effect of caffeine, many people mistakenly think that they are not very drunk after drinking this kind of drink, so they may not be able to take it too much when drinking alcohol.
caffeine mix up alcohol is still the heart that hurts most. Because alcohol is quickly absorbed by the digestive system and then enters the blood circulation system, it affects the functions of the gastrointestinal, heart, liver, kidney, brain and endocrine organs, causing disorders of material metabolism in the body, among which the most seriously affected is the brain, which forms a high level of brain inhibition. Drinking coffee makes the brain highly excited. If wine and coffee are drunk at the same time, it turns the brain from extreme excitement to extreme depression, and stimulates blood vessels to expand, accelerate blood circulation, and greatly increase the burden of cardiovascular.
the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned that caffeine and alcohol drinks are neither safe nor legal, and the drinks are put on the shelves.
