Six myths to avoid when choosing milk

 Six myths to avoid when choosing milk

　　There are no less than 30 varieties of milk on the market, and almost every kind of milk is playing a health card. For example, in terms of fat, there are whole milk, low-fat milk, and skim milk; in terms of protein, there are optimized protein milk, double protein milk, lactoferrin and collagen milk; in terms of taste, there are special thick Milk, chocolate milk, coffee milk, strawberry milk, red date milk, peanut milk, almond milk and other flavored milk.

　　Although every milk on the market promotes the concept of health, the key to choosing milk is how much the true nutritional content is. Consumers must avoid the following six misunderstandings in their daily purchases.

　　First, the more fragrant milk is, the better. The squeezed milk is very light, with a touch of frankincense, which tastes very refreshing. However, many companies have introduced the concept of aroma, adding thickeners and flavors. Consumers gradually believe that aroma is the taste of milk, while real pure milk is regarded as tasteless or with water.

　　Second, high calcium milk is of little significance. Milk itself is a food with high calcium content, and adding calcium to it is of little significance. And most of the high calcium milk Riga is calcium carbonate, the absorption effect of this calcium in the human body is not very satisfactory. Too much calcium, iron, zinc and other inorganic salts are added to the milk. If it cannot be absorbed, it will cause a great burden on the human kidney and digestive system.

　　Third, drinking milk is not for protein. Many high-end milks have the banner of optimizing protein. The protein content in milk is actually very low, so drinking milk is not mainly to supplement protein, but to supplement B vitamins and calcium.

　　Fourth, the lower the fat, the better. Everyone's demand for fat is not the same. People with high blood fat and need to lose weight, and pregnant women can choose low-fat or skim milk. But for people like children and office workers who need more energy, it's best to drink whole milk.

　　Fifth, cereal milk is suitable for breakfast. The so-called cereal milk and breakfast milk, most of which are starch, have no nutritional value, but can make people feel full and maintain energy for a long time, suitable for drinking at breakfast.

　　Six, fruit and vegetable milk nutrition is too little. The added fruit particles in fruit and vegetable milk must be processed at high temperature, and the nutritional value will be greatly affected. And it can increase the dietary fiber is very small, far worse than eating more nutritional value.
