Shenzhen Consumer Council, together with Futian Consumer Council and Bao 'an Consumer Council, entrusted Shenzhen Quality Consumption Research Institute to carry out a comparative test of existing tea drinks (fruit tea), evaluated fruit tea from three indicators: sweetener, total sugar and calorie, and answered questions for consumers with the test data. The specific data are as follows:

1 and sweeteners were detected in two kinds of fruit tea:

Ms. Chen is a senior fruit tea lover. She buys a cup of fruit tea almost every day when she comes home from work. Drinking fruit tea in summer is refreshing and healthy. In terms of choice, Ms. Chen said that she prefers fruit tea without any additives.

Like Ms. Chen, in the consumption survey of the Municipal Consumer Council, 35% of consumers chose fruit tea as the first standard without adding sweeteners.

In this comparative experiment, the Municipal Consumer Council selected 8 kinds of online celebrity fruit teas, 7 kinds of milk-covered fruit teas and 4 kinds of cheese teas, with prices ranging from 17 yuan to one cup in 36 yuan, including 8 brands such as Hi Tea, Naixue Tea, Taigai Tea, YOTea Friends Tea, Xianyu, Tian Xiang, Aishu Couple and Looking for Tea Friends.

Through testing, it was found that sweet taro fruit tea contained 0.0073g/kg acesulfame K and 0.0 14g/kg sucralose, while Aishu lovers fruit tea contained 0.0 17g/kg acesulfame K and 0.02 19g/kg sucralose, but they all met the requirements of national food safety standards. Others 6.

Xia, former dean, professor and doctoral supervisor of the College of Food Science and Technology of Hunan Agricultural University, said that both acesulfame K and sucralose are high-powered sweeteners, and many consumers have misunderstandings about high-powered sweeteners, thinking that all products with sweeteners may be harmful to health.

In fact, as long as sweeteners are added to food according to the standard dosage, it is safe and will not cause harm to human body.

2. Six of the eight kinds of fruit tea are high-sugar drinks:

The results of consumption survey show that 25% consumers are worried that the high sugar content of fruit tea will lead to obesity and diabetes. The reporter noted that in order to cater to the health needs of consumers, many fruit tea merchants in the market have introduced various options such as less sugar, normal sugar and polysaccharide.

The comparative test report shows that six of the eight kinds of fruit teas are high-sugar drinks, and the total sugar content of Naixue の tea is as high as11.3g/100g, which is equivalent to 22.7 cubes in a cup of fruit tea.

The minimum total sugar content of sweet potato is 5.4g/ 100g (the Hong Kong Department of Health considers that if the sugar content exceeds 7.5g per 100 ml beverage, it is a high-sugar beverage).

In response to the experimental results, Ms. Chen said: I chose fruit tea because I am healthy. I didn't expect the sugar content of fruit tea to be so high. In this regard, Xie Liang, project director of Shenzhen Quality Consumption Research Institute, introduced that according to the Dietary Guidelines for China Residents (20 16), it is suggested to "control the intake of added sugar, and the daily intake should not exceed 50g, preferably less than 25g".

Fruit tea has a high sugar content, so special people such as children and the elderly should avoid excessive drinking. At the same time, Xie Jing reminded that the "total sugar" in this evaluation includes the sugar of the fruit itself and the extra sugar added in the production process, with different definitions.

Leo, co-founder of Youcha, reminds consumers that when buying fruit tea, they can choose to buy fruit tea with less sugar or normal sugar. At the same time, be sure to read the ingredient information on the package clearly when buying.

People who are energetic and need to control their weight should drink carefully.

In addition to comparing different brands of fruit tea, this comparative experiment also tested milk-capped fruit tea drinks and cheese drinks. The test report shows that there are 8 samples of fruit tea in 19 cups of drinks, and the average energy is187.7 kj/100g; 7 samples of milk tea with an average energy of 260.7 kJ/100g; Four samples of cheese, with an average energy of 253.3 kJ/ 100 g.

According to the calculation of 600g/cup of fruit tea beverage (about 1 bottle of ordinary bottled water), it is nearly 400KJ (95.6 kcal) lower than that of milk-covered fruit tea cheese beverage, and it takes 30 steps to consume 1 kcal, so drinking a cup of fruit tea can save 2868 steps than drinking milk-covered fruit tea cheese beverage.

According to the introduction of the intermediate standardization engineer of Huace Testing, according to the actual weight of each beverage, the energy provided by each beverage is 820.6 kJ ~ 2,547 kJ, and according to the recommended daily intake of 8400KJ for adults, the beverage with the highest energy (enjoying the sweet Zhi Zhi pitaya) can provide about 30% of the energy needed for the whole day, which means that consumers need to take18,262 steps to consume a cup of sweet Zhi Zhi pitaya.

Xia reminds consumers that although the milk cover will improve the taste of tea, consumers who need to control their weight and pursue health should be cautious because of its high energy.

Taboos for drinking tea:

The names of chamomile tea, mint tea and fennel tea sound "small and fresh". However, the latest investigation by the German authorities found that this kind of flower and fruit tea popular in the German market contains excessive toxic substance-pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA), which may be harmful if it is drunk for a long time.

The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment said on July 15 that the researchers selected 22 1 flower and fruit tea samples commonly found in the German market for testing, including fennel tea, chamomile tea, mint tea and nettle tea. However, black tea and green tea were not included in the risk analysis because the sample size was too small. Experts suggest that the choice of drinks should be diversified, and don't just drink a certain kind of tea for a long time.
