This month’s blog post talks about food ingredients. When buying food, be sure to look at the food ingredient list (also called "raw materials" or "recipe"), the ingredient list can give us important information about the quality of the product. Let''s take the most common breakfast milk as an example to explain. At present, there is no national standard for breakfast milk. It is generally understood that the so-called breakfast milk is a certain amount of carbohydrates added to the milk. Breakfast milk of two big brands on the market, (because the rules here are not to name, so it can only be called by code) One is "M" and the other is "Y".

　　 "M" brand breakfast milk (raw wheat flavored milk) ingredients list is: fresh milk, white sugar, malt powder, vitamin 3, food additives (emulsifier, thickener) edible salt, edible Spices, specially added dietary fiber (polydextrose)

　　 "Y" brand breakfast milk (wheat flavored milk) ingredients list is: fresh milk, white sugar, cereals (oatmeal, malt powder, malt extract, Rice flour, corn flour), fruit and vegetable fiber (banana powder, pineapple powder, carrot powder, pumpkin powder), nutrients (vitamin A, D, ferric pyrophosphate, zinc citrate, soluble dietary fiber), table salt, food flavors, food additives ( Emulsifier, thickener, moisture retention agent)

　　, the difference is obvious (see bold part): "M" is also called "raw wheat" flavored milk, but it does not There is no "wheat" (meaning cereals, malt flour is not a whole grain), only the taste of wheat (estimated by the role of edible flavors)! The carbohydrates added to this breakfast milk are mainly simple sugars (white granulated sugar + malt powder). In the "Y" ingredient list, there are cereals, namely "wheat" (oatmeal, malt flour, malt extract, rice flour, corn flour), and various fruit and vegetable powders (banana powder, pineapple powder, carrot powder, pumpkin powder). The carbohydrates added to this breakfast milk are not only simple sugars (white granulated sugar + malt powder), but also cereals and fruit and vegetable powders, which are more nutritious.

　　Since breakfast milk is mentioned, I would like to say a few more words: Add carbohydrates to milk during breakfast milk, and the product promotion is "to make three major nutrients (protein, fat and carbohydrate)". But we noticed that compared with ordinary milk, the energy in breakfast milk has not increased because of this. Why? Looking at the nutrition ingredient label, you will find that the protein content of breakfast milk has decreased (2.3 grams of protein per 100 grams of breakfast milk, and Ordinary milk is 2.9 grams), and the fat content has also been reduced. In short, breakfast milk (flavored milk) is actually equivalent to diluted milk-it will not feel thin on the taste, because soluble dietary fiber is added, and Added grains, thickeners and other additives.

　　 Conclusion: As far as protein is concerned, the nutrition of breakfast milk is actually slightly inferior to ordinary milk. According to the information reflected in the ingredient list, "M" brand breakfast milk is worse than "Y" brand breakfast milk.

　　——Bonbo neither "holds" who (others don’t need me to hold), nor "press" who (I just press, and also white press), just to illustrate the importance of the ingredients list . Only discuss knowledge, not release emotions, please read this blog post to calm down!
