Summer and cold drinks are best matched, this summer to the forest, zero-degree Coca-Cola as the representative of sugar-free zero-calorie drinks are sought after by consumers. Are sugar-free, zero-calorie drinks really so healthy? The reporter made a study on sugar-free drinks on the market.
Artificial sweeteners for the mainstream
reporters choose Coca-Cola, Jianlibao, Wahaha and other 12 main "sugar-free" or "zero-calorie" drinks, its ingredients table analysis found that the current market sugar-free beverages can be roughly Divided into two categories, one is really sugar-free beverages, mainly sugar-free tea, such as Sandeli's "sugar-free ut-talon tea", such products do not add any sugar, but taste no sweet taste, relatively healthy but can not meet the needs of sweet lovers.
The second category is sugar-substitute drinks, such as Jianlibao's 'micro-bubble' sugar-free bubble water", which is said to be "sugar-free" but actually added sugar substitutes, so sweet, more popular with consumers. Sugar substitutes add sweetness and are low or non-calorie. Public information shows that the current sugar generation can be roughly divided into three types, one is the use of chemical technology synthesis of artificial sweeteners, such as saccharin, aspartame, etc. , the second is extracted from plants of natural sweeteners, such as stevia sugar, the third is between the two, through biological or chemical technology, sugar modification, the production of sweet but low-calorie glycol, commonly glycol, maltol and so on.
of the 12 "sugar-free" drinks surveyed, 9 were added to the substitute sugar, with artificial sweeteners as the mainstream sweeteners. Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Wahaha, Eyrone and Watson's five brands of five products using sugar substitutes are sweeteners. Coca-Cola's "Zero Degree Coke" and Pepsi's "Black Can Sugar-Free Coke" blend add aspartame, Ansay honey, sucrose three artificial substitute sugars. Wahaha's "ph9.0 soda drink", energy-free "sugar-free air-weak alkali soda water" using Ansai honey, Watson's "salt-flavored soda water" added sucrose.

experts warn: "
.""Sugar-free" drinks should not be drunk
summer, hot weather makes people have a special desire for frozen drinks. Given the health effects of too much sugar intake, are there so many "sugar-free" drinks on the market that are really healthy enough? Not necessarily.
Colin Shuxian, Clinical Nutrition, Guangdong Provincial Central Hospital, pointed out that most of the drinks labeled "sugar-free" and "zero calories" on the market use a variety of sugar substitutes. Substitute sugar can replace the taste of sugar, for controlling blood sugar has a certain positive significance, but also let people eat sweets and sweets to the maximum. Sugary drinks, on the other hand, do not help in developing low-sugar flavors, and may not have much benefit to metabolism.
Lin Shuxian pointed out that the various sweeteners approved on the market have a safe range limit. Natural sweeteners and glycols are clearly safer options in terms of health, but the higher price is a big drawback. Artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, whose decomposition products contain benzoine, cannot be consumed in patients with phenylketonuria who have a congenital genetic defect that causes them not to metabolize benzodiazepines.
Artificial sweeteners have been controversial since their inception, with studies suggesting that non-nutritional sweeteners (NNS) can affect endocrine and metabolism, and that consumption of NNS is strongly associated with obesity and waist growth; group, activating sweet receptors in tissues such as the mouth, small intestine, islet beta cells, and brain, which in turn stimulates insulin and intestinal insulin production, increases fat production, and alters nutrient sensing in the brain; More research is needed on the health effects of long-term consumption. Therefore, nutrition experts remind, do not see the word "sugar-free" think very healthy, still remember to control the total intake.
