Can fruit and vegetable enzymes lose weight? How much money is there in the box?
Dr. Yun Orfila, a doctor of food engineering at Purdue University in the United States, told reporters that the reason why "fruit enzyme" is sought after by fashionable women is that the fruit itself is very popular with women, and the other reason is that "enzyme" sounds "tall". Words attract attention more easily.

However, he pointed out that fruit enzymes are very unreliable for weight loss. "Enzyme" is actually an enzyme. The so-called "fruit enzyme" is nothing more than adding sugar to a certain fruit and sealing fermentation. This is actually a simple fermentation process: the added sugar and the sugar in the fruit provide the "staple food" for the growth of bacteria, and together with other nutrients in the fruit, the bacteria carried on the fruit get a living space to live and work in peace and contentment. In the metabolism of bacteria, sugar is converted into wine, lactic acid, acetic acid and so on. And produce various enzymes.

However, the cloud inadvertently reminded that there are many factors leading to enzyme denaturation, such as temperature, acidity, salt concentration and so on. "And those enzymes used as weight loss or beauty products are actually taken orally. Even if they have the function of burning fat in natural configuration, eating them in the stomach is completely another matter. " Yun unintentionally explained that, first of all, the human stomach is acidic, while the mitochondrial environment of burning fat is close to neutral. In other words, these enzymes must first pass the acid test. Then, they enter the gastrointestinal tract and are baptized by digestive juice. Protease in digestive juice can attack any protein and cut it into small pieces. Most of protein will be cut into pieces more or less. The cut protein naturally cannot maintain its spatial configuration, so it is no longer active.

Fan Zhihong, an associate professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Safety, College of Food Science, China Agricultural University, also said: "Enzymes are enzymes, and enzymes are protein. Can protein detoxify? It is meaningless to say that enzymes can detoxify and clear the stool. " At the same time, she also expressed dissatisfaction with the word "enzyme". "The Japanese call it enzyme, but China people think it is fashionable and bluffing, so many health products like to use this term. The most hateful thing is to call the enzyme and then sell the product to fool people. "

DIY is easy to be polluted and produce toxins.

Self-made fruit enzyme is a kind of fermentation method, but natural fermentation is not easy to control, and it is most likely to cause mixed bacteria pollution and produce toxins and other harmful substances. Therefore, drinking "fruit enzymes" will increase health risks.

Yun inadvertently pointed out that slimming and beauty detoxification through this fruit enzyme can only be a pure wish. The so-called "fruit enzyme" is actually just a complex mixture obtained by fruit fermentation. "Well done, like fruit wine or sauerkraut; It's just a pile of organic fertilizer if it's not done well. A variety of enzymes may be produced, but it is impossible to control them and it is impossible to distinguish what functions those enzymes can have. "

Yun inadvertently said that if you want to play the positive role of fruit in health, just eat it. Fresh fruit is rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. Pickling with sugar after cutting will destroy and lead to the loss of these effective components.
