Sun, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and vice president of China Institute of Food Science and Technology, caused an uproar. Liquor is one of the most distinctive liquors in China, and it is also known as "grain essence" among folk liquors. Many people have different views on liquor. Some people think that drinking liquor is good for health, but others think that drinking liquor will cause cancer and is not good for health. What is right and wrong?
Is liquor really made entirely of grain? In fact, this statement is not accurate Liquor sold in the market has a variety of production processes, including pure grain brewing and some non-pure grain brewing. Generally speaking, according to the production process, liquor on the market can be divided into three types:
1, solid liquor
The liquor brewed in this way is the product of grain fermentation. Edible alcohol and other substances will not be added in the production process.
2. Liquid liquid
The production method of liquid liquor is to take starch and sugar as raw materials and obtain base liquor after processing. Some liquors produced by liquid liquor method are directly blended with edible alcohol after fermentation.
3. Solid-liquid liquor
A wine made by blending solid wine, liquid wine and edible alcohol. It is required that the concentration of liquor by solid state method should not be lower than 30%.
It is worth noting that liquor, whether fermented or blended, is no longer food. So it is wrong to say that drinking white wine is equal to eating vegetables. At this time, some people will say that although not all liquor is brewed with pure grain, wouldn't it be good for me to drink only pure grain? It can also absorb nutrition and has health care function. Is this statement correct?
Zhang Jing, director of the Nutrition Department of Shanghai Tongren Hospital, believes that it is not surprising that liquor is brewed from grain and contains nutrients. But whether these substances can play an anti-cancer role needs more research evidence. At present, drinking does more harm than good.
As early as 1988, WHO concluded that alcohol intake is one of the main causes of human cancer. After alcohol enters the body, it will be decomposed into acetaldehyde through the liver, which is a highly toxic substance. Long-term intake of acetaldehyde will damage the health of various organs in the body, leading to a significant increase in the risk of cancer.
As can be seen from the above, it is pseudoscience that liquor can be preserved. There are still many rumors about the efficacy of liquor. Are these rumors credible?
1, can white wine promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis?
After alcohol enters the body, it will indeed promote blood circulation to a certain extent, but it will also bring great harm to the cardiovascular system.
When the blood circulation speed is accelerated, the heart needs more strength to pump blood out, which is easy to lead to overload of the heart and damage of heart function; Alcohol can directly harm myocardial cells, leading to the decrease of their contractility, which is easy to cause arrhythmia and cardiac insufficiency. Alcohol can also promote arteriosclerosis, easily lead to angina pectoris and myocardial infarction, and seriously threaten life safety.
2. Can white wine help you sleep?
Many people drink alcohol before going to bed to help them sleep. After drinking it, they find it easy to fall asleep. As we all know, this sleeping aid is not healthy. Drinking alcohol will have an anesthetic effect on the body and inhibit the central nervous system.
Although alcohol can speed up sleep, it is difficult to ensure the quality of sleep. People who drink alcohol to help sleep will greatly reduce their deep sleep and the whole sleep will become very fragmented. Long-term, it will lead to the threat of brain health, memory loss, anxiety, depression, personality change, and even serious mental disorders.
The so-called alcohol can bring benefits to the body, and many times it is the idea of self-deception of wine lovers. Intake of alcohol will definitely do more harm than good to health. Many people in the world get cancer because of alcohol. Do you really want to keep drinking?
The Lancet once published a study. In 2020, about 740,000 new cancer cases in the world are related to drinking, among which China accounts for the majority, and 280,000 cancer cases are drunk. Even a small amount of alcohol will increase the risk of cancer.
It is not difficult to see through research that every sip of wine is equivalent to pushing you into the "arms" of cancer. For the sake of health, it is imperative to give up drinking!
As for some people who think that drinking can keep health, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and help sleep, wake up quickly! You can do it in other ways. You don't have to choose to drink, and you can't keep fit. The harm to your body is real. # Health Science Contest # # Rumor Zero Plan # # Pension Knowledge Contest #
