Protein powder is a combination of purified soybean protein, casein, whey protein or pea protein, which is a supplement of protein. A can of 400g protein powder costs two or three hundred pieces, which is staggering. However, the daily demand for protein powder is very small, so we can get enough protein from our daily food.
2, medicinal liquor: a big safety hazard.
The composition of medicinal liquor itself is complex, and the specific components of many Chinese medicines and other substances are unknown, and may even interact with each other, affecting liver and kidney metabolism.
In addition, many medicinal wines are brewed by themselves. Brewing is a complicated process, and it is difficult for home brewing to meet strict hygiene standards. Harmful substances or bacteria produced in the brewing process will cause harm to the body, ranging from diarrhea and vomiting to liver and kidney failure and even life-threatening. There are many news cases like this.
If you have liver problems, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and other problems, it is even more difficult to "touch alcohol." These people are not advised to drink during the New Year.
3, grape seed: anti-cancer
Grapes are good daily fruits. Although grape seed contains amino acids, vitamins and minerals, it has the functions of health care and beauty. But in recent years, grape seeds have been blown to the sky by merchants, claiming that grape seeds can resist cancer, and they are also sold as grape seed oil and grape seed powder. In fact, according to the experimental data, grape seeds are useless.
4, sea cucumber: not better than eggs
Although sea cucumber is a seafood rich in protein, minerals, vitamins and other nutrients, its nutrition is mainly judged by the absorption rate of amino acids in protein. Eggs are the most suitable food for human amino acid pattern, so it is best to eat two eggs a day to eat sea cucumber.
5. High-calcium milk: There is no such big difference in drinking ordinary milk.
Nowadays, people pay great attention to the nutritional value table when shopping, and choose high-calcium milk when buying milk. But the calcium in ordinary milk is calcium lactate, which has a high absorption rate, while the calcium in high-calcium milk is artificially added calcium carbonate, which has a low absorption rate. Drinking high-calcium milk does not mean that calcium-containing ingredients can be completely absorbed. In fact, ordinary milk is enough!
6, children's soy sauce: harmful.
Pediatric experts remind that children's diet does not need to be seasoned with soy sauce at all. The sodium contained in the normal diet is enough to meet the physiological needs of children, and any extra salt is unnecessary.
7. hangover drugs: it can't reduce the risk of drunkenness.
Sobering up is just a gimmick. Their batch number is not medicine, but health food, and the ingredients are only some liver-protecting ingredients, which can not reduce the harm of drunkenness.
8. Maca: Exaggerated aphrodisiac effect
Maca is a plant native to South America, and it is said to be a cheap food similar to our sweet potato. When Maca arrived in China, her value soared. According to merchants' propaganda, it can not only make men "nourish and strengthen their bodies, resist fatigue and improve their sexual ability", but also make women "improve their sexual function and treat infertility and irregular menstruation". The same plant can improve the reproductive function of both men and women, which is too exaggerated.
There are indeed some reports that Maca extract can improve the sexual function of experimental animals, but it has not been found in human trials that Maca can improve the level of androgen. Some human experiments have found that after eating maca for four months, the number and function of male sperm have improved. However, only nine people participated in this experiment, which is really incredible, so it is unrealistic to improve the ability through Maca.
