Will you get fat if you drink too much bubble tea?

Labor Daily recently said that in some street stalls in Shanghai, vendors actually use inferior creamer (mainly malt powder) and flavors to make bubble milk tea. As soon as the news came out, everyone was in an uproar, accusing the greedy traders of endangering the health of customers. Fan Zhihong, an associate professor at the College of Food Science and Technology of China Agricultural University, said in an interview with Life Times

Even if it is bubble tea in a big hotel, drinking more is not nutritious, so it is better to drink less. Fan Zhihong explained: "The so-called milk tea drink that is all the rage is very different from the traditional milk tea drunk by grassland residents.

The former is mostly made with non-dairy creamer, flavor, coloring and sugar. The main ingredients of non-dairy creamer are hydrogenated vegetable oil, emulsifier and sodium caseinate, not milk powder. And the milk tea disclosed by ** is made with poor raw materials.

So, what is the nutritional difference between the "milk" in bubble tea and real milk? Fan Zhihong said that it lacks calcium, B vitamins and vitamins A and D, and the protein content is very low.

Useful nutrients in milk, it is basically absent. Instead, it contains a lot of sugars, saturated fats, and trans fatty acids. Trans fatty acids increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, and for middle-aged and elderly people, it is even more detrimental to glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism.

What are the effects of the flavors and pigments in bubble tea on the human body? "If the flavors and pigments in milk tea are added in accordance with the national food additive standards, and you don't drink much, there will be no harm. But if you add too much, or if you drink a lot, it's not good, especially for young children.

Excessive consumption of milk tea may have adverse effects on children's intellectual development and behavioral health. How can we distinguish the "milk" in bubble tea from real milk? Fan Zhihong said that the nutritional value of milk tea is not high, but the taste is better than that of milk and milk powder, fragrant and smooth, and there is no such greasy feeling.

It can be said to be a major achievement of the modern oil industry, and it is also one of the reasons why milk tea is attractive. It seems that milk tea, especially for children, is better to drink as little as possible. If you really want to drink, you should also choose regular restaurants and shops with good hygiene, and it is best not to "drink one cup after another". ▲

It doesn't matter if you drink it in the morning, and one cup a day is about the same, but if you drink bubble tea in addition to three meals, you will gain weight, anyway, don't exceed the standard. Generally, if you consume 1200cal per day, you will not gain weight. The main thing is to look at the total calorie intake per day.

Pearls are mainly composed of tapioca flour or sweet potato flour (potato flour), food additives, etc. The calories of milk tea are still relatively high, and you will gain weight if you drink it for a long time.

Since milk tea is mainly some pigments and pectins, it is not recommended to drink more milk tea, drinking more may cause obesity, it is recommended to exercise more and eat a healthy diet.

Bubble tea is basically made of creamer + fruity powder + pearl + cyclamate + tea, creamer, scientific name creamer, is a mixture of hydrogenated vegetable oil, dextrin (starch hydrolysate), sodium caseinate, cream flavor, emulsifier, anti-caking agent and other ingredients, with a fat content of 20%-75%, and the calories are higher than starch.

1. If you drink it often, you will gain weight.

The calories of bubble tea are about 250-300 kcal per 360ml, which is equivalent to the calories of a bowl of white rice. At the same time, bubble tea contains a lot of sugar and lipids, and pearls also contain a lot of starch, so it is easy to gain weight if you eat it regularly. Too much sugar intake will also affect the metabolism of the human body, so you must drink bubble tea in moderation.

2. It will also be easy to gain weight.

Each 100g of pearls contains more than 130 calories, and the raw material of pearls is tapioca starch, which has a high starch content, and eating too much will easily lead to obesity. And in order to make the pearls sweeter, the pearls need to be boiled with a lot of sugar to add flavor, which will increase their calories. If you eat too many pearls, you will gain weight easily.

3. Reducing sugar intake can reduce the chance of obesity to a certain extent, so if you don't want to gain weight, try to choose three-point to five-point sugar when drinking milk tea.

Drinking milk tea often can easily lead to weight gain, so be sure to control the amount of milk tea you drink, and drink up to 1-2 cups a week, so that you won't gain weight so easily.

Nowadays, many bubble teas on the market are blended with creamer powder, and the milk tea blended with this blend is easier to gain weight. If you really want to drink milk tea, it is recommended to choose milk tea with a tea base, so that it will not be so easy to gain weight.

4. Bubble tea contains a certain amount of tea polyphenols, which can play a certain role in promoting mental excitement after eating, so try to drink bubble tea less at night, otherwise it may lead to insomnia. And milk tea is a high-calorie food, and it is more likely to cause obesity if you eat it at night.

If you want to drink milk tea, you must go to a regular milk tea shop to buy it, because the quality of the raw materials of the milk tea from the roadside stall will be inferior, and it may cause some harm to the body after eating.
