    No matter what kind of food you buy, its packaging will have a "food label" printed on it


    High calcium milk is not necessarily more calcium

    Many consumers think that "high calcium milk is more calcium supplement", but in fact this is just a misunderstanding


    How to make the calcium content higher? In the process of production, some extra calcium is added artificially, and it should actually be called "calcium-fortified milk"


    The addition of extra calcium to milk is itself a restricted matter: adding a large amount of calcium to milk is technically difficult to achieve, and it is easy to destroy the stable system of proteins, and even lead to problems such as precipitation and milking.


    Milk itself is a "high calcium food", and its calcium absorption rate is very high


    Dairy-flavored beverages are not a substitute for dairy products

    The dietary guidelines for Chinese residents recommend eating more dairy products, equivalent to 300 grams of liquid milk per day


    The lactic acid bacteria beverage is only one of the milk-containing beverages, which uses milk or dairy products as raw materials, and is fermented by lactic acid bacteria by adding water, white sugar, sweeteners, sour agents, fruit juice, tea and other ingredients.


    The national standard clearly stipulates that the protein content in pure milk needs to be ≥2.


    Probiotics are the "attractive" substances in lactic acid bacteria drinks


    It is worth noting that lactic acid bacteria are not the same as probiotics.


      Do not eat chocolate with cocoa butter substitute

      Chocolate is a common sweet food in people's daily life, mainly made from cocoa syrup and cocoa butter


      Cocoa butter, the main raw material of chocolate, is a natural fat in cocoa beans.


      A variety of chocolate foods on the market are made of "cocoa butter substitute", which can be seen from the ingredient list


      For cocoa butter substitute, China's relevant standards have strict restrictions on it
