Rumor: Recently, a large number of posts titled "Homemade Fruit Enzymes Can Detoxify and Lose Weight" and "Teach You Homemade Fruit Enzymes Stock Solution" were reprinted online. According to the net post, a bottle of so-called "enzyme stock solution" can be obtained by cutting seven or eight kinds of fruits casually, adding water and a lot of sugar and sealing fermentation for several weeks or even months. You can use this enzyme stock solution to detoxify and lose weight.

Truth: Lu, a national senior nutritionist, pointed out that the essence of enzymes is enzymes. The enzyme is protein, which will denature or even decompose under the action of protease in gastric acid and digestive juice after oral administration, and lose its biological activity. This method of making raw materials with sugar and sealing storage is basically the same as the process of making kimchi, and its essence is a natural fermentation. However, the content of enzyme in the whole fermentation broth is very low, which can't reach the effective amount, and other components in the "fruit enzyme"-lactic acid and alcohol, as the main fermentation products, do not have the publicity effect of "fruit enzyme".

Not only that, eating "fruit enzymes" may also cause certain harm to health. Homemade enzymes need to add a lot of sugar, which increases the intake of sugar. In addition, in nature, the microbial composition on the surface of fruits is very diverse, except for yeast or lactic acid bacteria needed for fermentation, there are other microorganisms that may be harmful.

Once the production process is a little careless, the miscellaneous bacteria in the fermentation process will breed rapidly, so that the produced "fruit enzyme" will not only be unhealthy, but will pose a threat to health.
