The Scientific Basis of Minimalism —— Breaking the Consumption Trap with Scientists (Diet)
The past week was a national carnival. How much of buy buy's purchase is a consumption trap? In order not to pay so much IQ tax, I began to watch open classes and documentaries and re-examine whether my consumption is rational.

1.BBC documentary "Please believe me, I am a doctor season 1 (Douban)"

1. Compound vitamin supplements, vitamins C and B, etc.

The host found that all the water-soluble vitamins he ate were excreted from his body. In fact, even fast-fried French fries are rich in vitamin C. Ordinary people don't need extra vitamins, but some excessive vitamins are harmful to the human body. Unless the doctor suggests supplementation, we ordinary people can get enough vitamins in our daily diet.

Crying, I paid the IQ tax to the mountain village for many years.

2. Probiotic products-especially frozen yogurt.

Personally, yogurt is an environmentally unfriendly food. It needs refrigeration, and the cold chain car is always air-conditioned until it drops to 0 degrees. If the price of a cup of yogurt is within 5 yuan, it is probably the warehousing and logistics cost above 3 yuan. At the same time, yogurt contains a large proportion of sugar, but it is not sweet to drink. I have always regarded yogurt as the main source of calcium and probiotics.

If you want a similar effect, please eat oats every day. You only need 100G oats every day, and the probiotics in the intestine will be very happy. The principle is that we can't directly supplement probiotics, but we can feed probiotics with oats to make it reproduce more. More than six pieces of cereal milk powder are recommended for breakfast. Find out.

3. Fresh juice contains too much sugar. It doesn't hurt to eat occasionally if you like. Usually I regard freshly squeezed juice as healthy food, but in fact, compared with eating fruit directly, freshly squeezed juice is too concentrated and has high sugar content. The juicer at home can be simplified again, and one thing is missing, which saves the effort of storage and cleaning.

1. Addictive coffee.

I like the taste of coffee very much. I used to like to have a cup of coffee in the afternoon. Studies show that when a person is used to drinking coffee every day, drinking it again will not refresh him. However, if he doesn't drink, he will feel sleepy. The refreshing effect of coffee is only effective for people who have not established tolerance and rarely drink it. Surprised, isn't this addiction?

If you want to refresh yourself, you can eat sugar-free gum.

2. Chocolate will make your skin worse.

Strictly speaking, this is not a consumption trap. Chocolate is really delicious. But chocolate is bad for the skin and easy to get acne. As a chocolate fan, I can finish a box of 48 Kym a day. It turns out that I am spending a lot of money on skin care while destroying my skin.

3. Fish oil

There is no evidence that fish oil can prevent Alzheimer's disease, improve memory or protect eyesight. God, I just asked my friend to bring me five bottles of fish oil in Australia.

Manuka honey

Because of my ignorance, I have never heard of this expensive honey. My friend gave me a bottle. I didn't drink it for a long time after opening it, so I threw it away. The price is touching.

2. Expensive extra virgin olive oil will produce more carcinogenic aldehydes.

The host and experts tested whether various oils will produce carcinogenic aldehydes when heated, including sunflower oil, vegetable oil, corn oil, rapeseed oil, peanut oil, olive oil, extra-grade pressed olive oil, lard, butter and goose oil (from left to right). Animal oil has recovered, and lard, butter and goose oil all produce relatively few aldehydes; Cheap peanut oil performed best, while vegetable oil performed worst. Relatively cheap extra virgin olive oil will produce more aldehydes.

I remember reading another study. People in China prefer to stir-fry at high temperature, or it is better to use animal oil. It takes higher temperature to generate aldehydes by chemical reaction. Virgin olive oil is not resistant to high temperature and is more suitable for dipping in salad.

4.BBC documentary "Please believe me, I am a doctor Season 1 (Douban)"

1. antioxidant juice, not anti-aging, may make you produce more free radicals.

I remember that a certain flow of flowers once promoted a fruit and vegetable juice (like AB), which focused on anti-oxidation and sold very high. Look at the ingredient list. It turns out that VC is really an antioxidant and can be used as a preservative to some extent. (Do you still remember whether the extra supplement of VC in the first quarter has any effect? What will happen if this antioxidant juice enters the human body?

In other words, adding extra antioxidants will reduce the concentration of antioxidants in the next few hours and produce more free radicals in the body. Because the human body will maintain a perfect balance in the body, including the concentration of antioxidants.

2. protein tonic will not gain muscle.

Many people eat protein powder when they exercise. I have eaten, too. It tastes terrible, no matter what it tastes like. But with the belief that supplementing protein can increase muscles, I swallowed it forcibly. The host drilled a hole in his leg (dedicated to science, distressed him) and found that the supplemented protein could really reach the blood of muscles. But can protein gain muscle? Two groups were also trained, one group took protein powder and the other group took placebo.

You don't need to waste money on such a terrible thing.

3. two opposite sweeteners, saccharin VS stevia.

Many fitness foods are added with artificial sweeteners because they have no calories. However, saccharin and stevia are artificial sweeteners, which have different effects on the rise of blood sugar. Saccharin group reached the edge of diabetes in a short time, while Stevia rebaudiana group had almost no change in blood sugar. I think it is a good habit to buy food and read the ingredient list, which can solve many marketing myths. At the same time, slightly changing the sweetness is generally beneficial to health.
