Eat moon cakes this Mid-Autumn Festival, don't be fooled by "sugar-free" and "health care"?
First, "sugar-free" is actually deceptive.

People often say that "sugar-free food" refers to food that does not contain sucrose (sucrose and beet sugar) and starch (glucose, maltose and fructose), but often contains sugar substitutes such as xylitol, maltitol and sorbitol.

Second, sugar-free moon cakes are made of xylitol instead of sugar. Although sweet, they do not contain sugar, but don't forget that other ingredients of the moon cakes themselves are also greasy, and carbohydrates will also be converted into sugar. Eat in moderation and don't let it go just because it doesn't contain sugar.

Third, healthy moon cakes are a cover, and high-grade moon cakes cannot be sold. Some merchants have turned their brains to "health moon cakes" and made Chinese herbal medicines that can only be bought in pharmacies into fillings to attract consumers. Does this "health-preserving moon cake" have a health-preserving effect? A few days ago, the US Food and Drug Administration issued "Food Safety Supervision and Consumption Tips for Mid-Autumn Moon Cakes", indicating that health moon cakes were not approved.
