What are the disadvantages of coffee partners?

Many people like to add a coffee partner when drinking coffee, which can really increase the taste, but we need to know what kind of substance a coffee partner is. First of all, it contains glucose syrup, and it also contains some additives, such as stabilizers, emulsifiers, anti-caking agents and so on. These additives are not good for human body. When it is put together with coffee, it is easy to produce trans fatty acids, which will do some harm to the body.

The harm of coffee companion

1, a "coffee companion" (commonly known as "creamer") whose main component is non-dairy creamer, which is the general name of vegetable oil powder. This kind of products has many kinds, different functions and wide applications. Its production history can be traced back to 1950s, and it has been widely used in baking food ingredients, cold food ingredients, candy ingredients and solid beverage ingredients. Using non-dairy creamer as a coffee companion in coffee is mainly used to improve the taste, provide balanced nutrition and give the product a "milky white feeling".

2. What's this?

Ingredients: The first ingredient is "glucose syrup", which is a slightly sweet mixture produced by starch hydrolysis and can thicken the solution. The second component is hydrogenated vegetable oil, which is a semi-solid oil formed by artificial catalytic hydrogenation of soybean oil or rapeseed oil. The third ingredient is sodium caseinate, followed by three food additives: stabilizer, emulsifier and anti-caking agent.

3. Produce unnatural "trans fatty acids"

After artificial catalytic hydrogenation, most of the natural unsaturated fatty acids in vegetable oil become saturated fatty acids, and the unsaturated fatty acids contained in them may lose their natural cis-structure and produce unnatural "trans fatty acids".

Nutritionists believe that trans fatty acids are more dangerous than saturated fatty acids, because saturated fatty acids will only increase blood lipids, but will not reduce beneficial HDL cholesterol. Some recent studies show that trans fatty acids may also increase the incidence of breast cancer and diabetes, and may affect the growth and development of children and the health of the nervous system. So it is better to drink less.
