Can I drink milk? The reason is that the netizen found that the nutrition express line became a layer of "rubber skin" after the dry line ". Around this topic, the saying "11 kinds of additives are contained", "the average daily intake of additives is too large, and the overlay effect may endanger human health" is another concern for food safety. Can this "Latex" experiment reveal the product's security problems?
 
Rumor: Some microblogs say: ["Nutrition Express Line" becomes "Latex" after it is cracked down in the dark] is the nutrition express line really nutritious? Netizens poured the nutrition line into the plate and dried it into a layer of "gel-like skin". The netizens even used it as a condom. Its Product ingredients actually contain 11 kinds of additives. The protein content is only 1/3 of that of ordinary milk, and the "flavor" is derived from additives.

Relevant news reports quoted "expert reminders", claiming that "if the average daily intake of additives is too large, it may also cause the superposition effect to harm human health ".

Note: For any specific product, "can you eat it?" and "Shouldn't you eat it?" depends on many aspects. Whether it is qualified for production, whether the price is too high, and whether there are other problems, is not within the scope of this article. The following explanation only analyzes the components listed in the experiment and product tags from a technical perspective, and does not represent the author's attitude towards the product to express "recommendation" or "objection.

Truth:

I. Why does a drink become plastic?
People will think of plastic as long as they see "glue. Plastics are made of polymers, but not all of them are made of plastics. Protein, starch, and cellulose are polymers in food. Under specific conditions, they can also combine synthetic rubber. What we usually eat is jelly, tofu, jelly, Yuba, jelly, rice flour, and egg ".

Protein is a kind of polymer material that can produce glue. In addition to milk protein, some "thickening agents" are added to various milk drinks to improve taste and stability. The fast nutrition line uses sodium methyl cellulose, melon gum, and xanthan, which are commonly used "Edible gum" in food. For more information about edible gum, see the previousArticle"Food Gum"). In fact, in addition to being used as food additives as a "function", they are still dietary fiber. For most people in modern cities, dietary fiber intake is insufficient. These food gums can even be considered as "nutrients ". They also have no safety issues, and there is no limit in the international food additives Expert Group (JECFA) and China's National Food Additives standards, which can be "used as needed ".

After the water in Milk Drinks evaporated, the milk protein and the molecules of these kinds of glue are entangled together. In a macro view, it became the "Latex" mentioned on Weibo ".

2. The "superposition effect" of additives is only a "Goodwill reminder" of no value"
Weibo uses the Spring and Autumn style of "11 additives actually exist", which implies that the reader's additives are harmful, and 11 additives are unacceptable.

There are more than two thousand types of food additives approved by China, more internationally. The safety of each food additive to be approved has been well studied. These "Studies" include ways and quantities of potential harm to the human body. Those with the same hazard channels will be classified as one type, and the calculation content will be calculated together. For example, the nutrition line contains sodium trigger, and the national standard is no more than 5 grams of phosphate per kilogram of dairy products, the safe dose for humans is a daily weight of no more than 70 mg per kilogram (roughly equivalent to 4-5 grams per day for adults ). If a product uses both sodium trigger and Other sodium phosphate, it will be combined to determine whether the amount exceeds the standard. If it is a different "Hazard path", such as sodium tritrigger and amsai honey, there is no "overlay" problem.

11 food additives are used in nutrition express lines, which are common in modern recipes. In addition to the three thickening agents mentioned above, citric acid, lactic acid, and sodium citrate have no safety concerns, and there is no limit on the amount of food, which is "used as needed" by the producer ". The sweetness of asba and amsai honey is about 200 times that of sucrose. To eat too much, it is equivalent to the sweetness provided by hundreds of grams of sucrose a day. In fact, it is not likely to be too much. Lactobacillus is a peptide secreted by Lactic Acid Bacteria and is considered a safe preservative. For more information about it, go to "from probiotics to bixin:" scammers "to" Heroes "?" In the third part. The limited amount of sodium tritrigger is because of the phosphorus. Phosphorus itself is an element required by the human body and is contained in many natural foods. The phosphorus contributed by food additives will become part of the total human intake, but it is not more harmful than natural food. The emulsion silicone oil is only a kind of auxiliary agent, and there is no limit to the national standard, but the amount should be minimized.

The safety of food additives can only be discussed based on specific types and specific dosage. The saying "if the average daily intake of additives is too large, it may also endanger human health due to the superposition effect" seems to be a "Goodwill reminder ", in fact, there is no value-is it too big "? What is the "possible" risk?

3. "Only 1/3 of normal milk is protein", is it a problem?
Nutrition Express is not milk, but a kind of "milk-containing beverage". In its packaging, the content of milk and juice is clearly listed. Similar drinks also exist in the market. It is a fact that "only 1/3 of the protein content of ordinary milk", but this is a very boring charge.

According to national standards, milk-containing drinks are "Milk-containing drinks", and the protein content reaches 0.7%. According to this requirement, 1% of the protein content of the nutrition express line is still high. In fact, the nutrition of the product is clearly identified on the packaging, as long as the nominal content is reached, it is legal, and there is no deception to consumers.

It is hard to understand that "milk" and "milk-containing drinks" are two different products: in the news, "milk experts" and "Food experts" use milk ingredients to measure milk-containing drinks, which is not reasonable. This is like if milk is measured by cheese standards, it can also be accused of low nutritional value, because "the milk protein content is less than 15% of the cheese ".

conclusion: when the milk-containing beverage is dried, it cannot be described as "a problem ". Like other milk-containing drinks, the nutrition express line is not milk, but a drink containing milk. From the perspective of this experiment, the ingredient list, and tags, there is no violation of law or deception against consumers. You cannot determine whether the product is "drinking.
