The average sugar content of samples without non-banned substances is higher than that of milk tea.
In this comparative experiment, 10 functional drinks were selected to simulate consumers' online and offline shopping, including 7 domestic products: domestic red bull, Dong Peng, Le Hu, physical energy, talons, power health care and war horse; There are also three kinds of imported goods: Austrian Red Bull, Thai Red Bull and Karabao. Five of them are health foods and five are non-health foods. Health food will declare its function on the product packaging. According to previous studies, consumers pay attention to taurine, caffeine, sugar content and non-prohibited substances. The detection indexes of this functional beverage are total sugar, taurine, caffeine and non-prohibited substances.
Non-drug is a difficult problem of health food counterfeiting in recent years. It is often illegally added to health food claiming anti-fatigue, which has certain contraindications and side effects. Patients with hypertension, coronary heart disease and cerebral thrombosis are prone to serious adverse drug reactions and even death. The results of this comparative test show that 10 functional drinks have not detected 1 1 kinds of non-class substances.
Although no illegal drugs were detected, the problem of "high sugar" in functional drinks can not be ignored. The detection results of comparative tests show that 9 functional drinks of 10 have high sugar content, with an average sugar content of11.7g/100ml, which was released in Shenzhen in 20 19.
Among them, Zhongwo "Fitness" vitamin beverage has the highest sugar content, and the sugar content of each 600ml Zhongwo "Fitness" vitamin beverage is 75.5g/ can (converted from 12.59g/ 100ml). According to the recommendations in the Dietary Guidelines for China Residents, the intake of added sugar should be controlled within 50g per day. Eagle claw? Energy flavor beverage has the lowest sugar content, which is 5.8g/ 100ml (converted into 19. 1g/ can).
The difference between the highest and lowest taurine content is 20 times.
Taurine is a special amino acid that is not contained in protein substance, and it is abundant in brain, retina and muscle. Taurine has the functions of maintaining osmotic pressure balance, maintaining normal visual function, lowering blood sugar, increasing myocardial contractility and improving immunity, and is an effective substance in functional drinks. Among the 10 samples in this comparative test, Lifecare has the highest taurine content, which is 1020mg/ 100ml (converted into 1020mg/ can), followed by the taurine content of Red Bull brand energy drink (Austria), which is 394mg//kl.
Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant, which can temporarily dispel drowsiness, restore energy and relieve mental fatigue to some extent. Some consumers who drink too much will cause anxiety, irritability and insomnia. Beijing CDC suggested that pregnant women and lactating mothers should consume less than 200mg of caffeine every day, which is safe for both mothers and babies, while non-pregnant adult women should consume less than 400mg of caffeine every day. Because children's nervous system is not well developed, caffeine intake should not exceed the safe limit. The caffeine content of 10 functional drinks in this comparative experiment is within the daily safe intake range of healthy adults, and the highest caffeine content of flavor drinks talons is 28mg/ 100ml (converted to 93mg/ can), which is equivalent to a cup of American coffee.
The experiment also found: 5. Among the five health foods and five non-health foods tested this time, the indicators of taurine and caffeine in health foods are more prominent. The average contents of taurine and caffeine in the five health foods tested this time were 365,438+02.75 mg/65,438+000 ml and 65,438+07.88 mg/65,438+000 ml respectively. The average contents of taurine and caffeine in five non-health foods were 53.54mg/ 100ml and 15.95mg/ 100ml, respectively. As far as taurine and coffee are concerned, health food is 484.438+0 1% and 12. 13% more than non-health food respectively.
In addition, this experiment also compared two kinds of red bulls from Thailand and China. From the perspective of outer packaging, it is difficult for consumers to distinguish between domestic and imported products. Among them, Thai Red Bull has different names, and the bottle will be marked as imported from Thailand. Domestic red bull belongs to health food, and the bottle will be marked with the words health food. Compared with domestic red bull, Thai red bull has high caffeine 17.5% and high taurine 16. 1%. Domestic red bull has more kinds of nominal nutrients.
At the same time, the report gave consumption tips, saying that caffeine sensitive person and special people should use this kind of functional drinks with caution, and some packages did not indicate unsuitable people and daily drinking limit. Caffeine sensitive person and special people should try their best to choose products with tips for people and daily consumption, and drink them according to the tips. In addition, the average sugar content of functional drinks is higher than that of milk tea. Excessive drinking can easily lead to dental caries, obesity, diabetes, hypertension and other health problems. Drink in moderation.
