In recent years, many people advocate health. They not only demand health in life, but also pursue health in diet. Therefore, the health market is so huge that many businesses sell healthy food under the banner of health. In fact, many health care products are just a cover, claiming the ingredients and efficacy of health care products, but the ingredients inside are not what the human body needs. Bian Xiao tells you several fake health products:

Protein powder

Now that living conditions are good, there are more and more fat people, but there are also many thin people. Some thin people eat a lot, but no matter how they eat, they are fat and thin, and there is no blood in their faces. Merchants began to say that the human body lacks protein and should supplement protein. Then, the merchants began to buy protein powder. And a can of 400 grams of protein powder costs two or three hundred yuan. Everyone should know that healthy adults need protein 1g every day and protein 1g per kilogram of body weight, which can be fully met by a normal diet. Therefore, healthy people with normal diet do not need to supplement protein powder.

Organic food is just psychological comfort.

Everyone will visit the supermarket. There are always people in major supermarkets who sell you all kinds of "green vegetables" and "organic rice". The products they recommend sound tall and healthy. It will be more attractive if "natural pesticide-free" is added to the packaging. In fact, everyone should know that "expensive" is not necessarily "good". Consumers' Association conducts spot checks on organic food and green vegetables in the market, and detects pesticide residues, heavy metal pollutant limits and physical and chemical indicators respectively. The test results are surprising. Although the prices of these so-called "organic food" and "green vegetables" are much higher than ordinary vegetables, the test results of these indicators still exceed the national standards. So don't believe the lies of various businesses.

Propolis has no scientific basis.

You know, propolis is a kind of jelly that bees collect from plant spores and add their own secretions. The function of propolis is to prevent foreign invasion such as bacteria. The ancients used propolis to heal wounds, diminish inflammation and mummify. Most businessmen see that propolis can prevent the invasion of bacteria, and then associate it with antibacterial, antiviral, immunomodulatory and antitumor. But in fact, the research on the efficacy of propolis is mostly focused on animals or cells, and the scale of experiments on people is not large, so it is not considered enough to draw conclusions in medicine.

The enzyme is inactivated after eating it.

Enzymes are very popular in the past two years, because many businesses claim that enzymes can detoxify, beautify and lose weight, and then enzymes are squeezed into the list of health care products like flying. In fact, enzyme is the familiar "enzyme". The gastric acid eaten by enzymes in the stomach is very acidic, so it is difficult for enzymes to stand the test in such an environment. In addition, there is pepsin specially designed for acidic environment in the stomach, which can cut other enzymes, and the protease in the small intestine is more aggressive. No matter food protein or enzyme, it will be cut into pieces, and it is impossible to be active any more. Eating is equal to eating for nothing.
