Will you lose weight after eating it? The enzyme market is booming.
Hot words such as "WHO recommendation", "research and development of Nobel Prize winners" and "anti-aging revolution sweeping the world" make people itch. The reporter searched for "enzyme" in Baidu and found 1.8 million related results, including asking which brand is good, consulting whether the enzyme can lose weight, teaching students to make their own products, and publicizing various functions of the enzyme. In qq search, I found that there are hundreds of QQ groups about enzyme health. The reporter joined one of them. In the afternoon, the news in the group continued, and netizens were busy sharing the effect of taking enzymes.
The enzyme products sold on Taobao are even more varied. The reporter found 162000 related products after searching. Products from Japan and Taiwan Province Province are the best sellers, including washing powder, capsules, enzyme fiber tablets, enzyme stock solution and so on. And there are all kinds of self-made enzyme tools, such as sealed bottles, filter tubes, instructions, recipes and so on. The reporter found the seller who sold kiwi fruit enzyme. The other party claimed that the product contained 172 kinds of natural fruit and vegetable enzyme essences, including 8 kinds of Japanese native vegetables and 6 kinds of cereal enzyme essences. It has the magical effect of "expelling toxins, cleaning up waste, purifying the stomach and regulating acidic constitution", which can fundamentally improve the skin quality of the body and control the weight. Shopkeepers said that their products are specially supplied to high-end salons and beauty salons in Japan, and the demand in Japan is in short supply. The reporter found that in addition to the hot word of losing weight, detoxification, improving constipation and purifying blood are also common slogans used by sellers. Some products even say under the banner: "Without enzymes, human metabolism and life activities will stop and end immediately."
Enzymes are not only sold well online, but also seen by reporters in a weight-loss club in Shiqiao, Panyu, where enzymes are also sold. The reporter looked through it. The product has no formal outer packaging, but is packed in transparent plastic bags. The clerk told the reporter that these enzymes were a batch of goods that the boss only grabbed by the relationship. They are all imported from Japan and have the effect of "detoxifying and beautifying".
Weight loss experts believe that the effect of enzyme weight loss is not ideal.
Miss Luo is a "senior" dieter in the circle of friends. She has tried almost all methods to lose weight, and enzymes are no exception. Japanese original enzyme and Taiwan Province original enzyme have been eaten. "It's really helpful for defecation, especially for people who don't like vegetables. It can help digestion and relieve constipation. " But she thinks it is not reliable to expect enzymes to lose weight. "I didn't feel the obvious weight loss myself. The statement of' detoxification and purification of blood' is a bit exaggerated. " Miss Luo said, "Many enzymes need meal replacement and fasting. To be honest, this is no different from' hungry'. " For some people, the behavior of homemade enzymes at home is even more incredible. How does a city with high humidity like the south control its own flora? Especially since it rained continuously a while ago, Penicillium, Aspergillus, nitrite, methanol and butyric acid may be added in the process of self-made enzyme. "Don't talk about losing weight and detoxifying, maybe even the toxins are eaten."
Subsequently, the reporter contacted a friend who was doing purchasing in Japan. According to her introduction, enzymes are very popular in Japan and there are many varieties. In the past two years, more and more women in China began to look for her to buy such products. As for whether this imported enzyme can achieve all kinds of beauty and weight loss effects mentioned in the propaganda? Friends just smile. "You know about the advertising industry. Guests who usually look for a purchasing agent often ask this question. I don't usually give a positive commitment to the effect. After all, I'm just a porter for this kind of products. At least my friends and I haven't found immediate results. "
Whether you can lose weight or not is inconclusive in the medical field.
What exactly is an enzyme? A nutritionist in our region said that the word "enzyme" originated in Japan, first introduced into Taiwan Province Province, and then moved to the mainland. In the standardized Chinese expression, "enzyme" is actually "enzyme". "Enzyme" is just an "enzyme" with a very tall name. A food expert in our district also has reservations about the statement that enzymes lose weight and detoxify. "After the enzyme enters the gastrointestinal tract, it will be' inactivated' and will not play a role in losing weight and lowering blood fat. There is no essential difference between homemade enzymes and kimchi. "
"Whether it is domestic enzymes or expensive imported enzymes, it is unrealistic to expect to lose weight after eating." A doctor pointed out that losing weight is related to endocrine, physical exercise and diet structure. In theory, it is difficult to burn fat for the enzyme of online myth. This is because the key to losing weight is to reduce the absorption of fat in the intestine, and the role of lipase is only to accelerate the decomposition of fat, which is more conducive to intestinal absorption in theory, which is contrary to traditional medicine. Therefore, at present, the medical community has no conclusion on whether enzymes can lose weight.
