    bees are a magical animal, and in many people's eyes, pollen must have a magical effect. Thus, the bee pollen - bee pollen, was given a lot of magical effect. Whether in China or a foreign country, many people claim that bee pollen "contains a variety of nutrients, including
    22,
    amino acids,
    14
    vitamins and
    30
    kinds of trace elements, as well as a large number of active proteases, nucleic acids, flavonoids and other active substances", so it is an "all-round food",a natural human food gem" and so on.at
    1972
    , Finnish marathon runners claimed to have taken bee pollen to help them improve their athletic performance. Since then, many people have used scientific controlled experiments to test the effects of bee pollen on long-distance runners and swimmers. As a result, the effect of bee pollen is no different from that of a placebo. However, Chinese's online ads, Finnish athletes' claims are still being cited, and later scientific research has been "forgotten".in the United States, a senator who had competed for the presidential nomination,
    Tom Harkin
    , was so convinced that taking bee pollen cured his allergies that he went to great pains to push the
    NIH
    to set up an office of alternative medicine in
    1992
    . He was taking a product made by an Arizona company that contained bee pollen. However, U.S. federal trade members were quick to rule that the company's claims of "curing allergies," "losing weight," "anti-aging" and other features were false propaganda and fined them $200,000.bee pollen does contain a variety of ingredients, mainly carbohydrates, small amounts of fat and protein, vitamins, minerals, insect residues, and so on. The ingredients don't mean "high nutritional value," and the
    FDA
    makes it clear that bee pollen can't be called "the perfect food in nature" and that it's not even perfect for bees -- bees can't live on pollen alone. The protein content of bee pollen is not very high, how many amino acids do not have any nutritional significance. What the advertisement calls "rich in active protease" is even more inexplicable. Not to mention that there are not so many proteases, even if there is, eat into the stomach is broken down and lost activity. As for other minerals, vitamins, is good for human health, but does not mean that from bee pollen is more special, usually people can get from ordinary food.in Chinese ads, bee pollen has a scary function. In addition to the most appealing "enhanced immunity" "beauty" "weight loss" and so on, but also "prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, prostate diseases" "regulating nerves, regulating the gastrointestinal" "liver protection" and so on. Because it can cause a person's allergy, there are no reports of side effects, so manufacturers casually nonsense will not cause serious consequences. However, consumers need to be clear that these features are not "scientifically researched", as advertised, but are essentially "decided" by advertisers themselves.
