The reporter learned that these slimming plums claim to be definitely not drugs, but food, but they have the effect of losing weight. In this regard, Fan Zhihong, an associate professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Safety, College of Food Science, China Agricultural University, said that ordinary foods can't claim health care efficacy, including weight loss efficacy. Unless the relevant efficacy tests (such as "slimming" effect) conducted by designated authorities are proved to be effective according to relevant national laws and regulations, and then the batch number of health food is applied, it can be claimed to be a health food with slimming effect.
Fan Zhihong said, of course, sugar and plums can't be expected to lose weight, but only drugs are added. Chinese medicine is also a kind of medicine. If it's medicine, you can't just eat it. Eating Chinese medicine in disorder will cause metabolic disorder and indigestion. These herbs all promote the movement of large intestine, which is something that makes people have diarrhea easily. In other words, adding these "slimming plums" to these Chinese herbal medicines is similar to adding senna leaves to some slimming teas. Taking these things for a long time will seriously affect the digestion and absorption function, and the intestine will lose the motivation of autonomous movement.
Experts say that it is enough to eat a few of these things as snacks, but it is not credible to regard them as a panacea for losing weight. If the defecation is not good enough and the skin is not delicate enough, it is necessary to reflect on what is unhealthy in your eating and living habits. As long as the adjustment is good, the trouble will naturally be solved slowly.
