Milk tea is just a name

In fact, milk tea that we often drink on the roadside does not contain milk nor tea. These types of 'milk tea' are mostly fatty creams mixed with 'tea' powder along with other additives such as aromatherapy, aromatherapy, and flavored powder.

Fatty cream is not a milk powder or dairy product, and the content of niacin and polyphenols in tea is very low. After finishing this drink, it is basically not called tea.

'Milk' in pearl milk tea, compared to real milk, lacks calcium, B vitamins and vitamins A and D; Protein content is also very low. The nutrients contained in milk, pearl milk tea are not available, whereas pearl milk tea contains a large amount of sugar, saturated fat and trans fatty Acids, all of which are Not very healthy.

Fatty cream in milk tea has ingredients to destroy 'sperm'

Most importantly, in milk tea, people use a large amount of fat cream, but the main ingredient of ice cream is hydrogenated vegetable oil, which is a trans-fatty acid.

Tolerance of many trans-fatty acids for a long time will cause diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and especially reproductive problems.

By first, it affects the quality of sperm, egg cells, increases the risk of infertility in men and the risk of having a baby with birth defects.

Secondly, trans-fatty acids will affect the composition of sex hormones, the sexual hormonal composition that encounters obstacles will lead to irregular menstruation in women and other sexual function barriers, increase the rate of infertility.

The growth and development of sperm is quite flexible, trans fatty acids in milk tea have a very significant effect on men in a short time, can affect the flexibility of the sperm of male. For women, it affects like a pharmaceutical drug, egg cells are radiated for a long time.

In addition, these trans-fatty acids are also found in foods such as ice cream cakes, breads (especially butter), cookies, snacks, buttercakes, etc. So couples are in Pregnancy 'incubation period' should limit these foods.

According to nutrition expert 863 health website, fatty acids metabolized in milk tea are more dangerous than animal fats, if tolerated too much of this trans fat will cause arteriosclerosis, increased blood fat high ., thereby leading to obesity, cardiovascular diseases, memory loss .

New York City (USA) started in July 2010 prohibiting foods containing trans fatty acids sold and circulated on the market.

Experts recommend that trans fat in a cup of milk tea is at most 5g, but in the world it is recognized, one day should not tolerate more than 2g of trans fatty acids. Regularly drinking pearl milk tea containing trans-fatty acids will certainly cause serious damage to health.

Tea causes kidney damage

Tea in pearl milk tea actually uses tea. Tea is not a natural tea, is a refined tea made with a little added color powder. When drinking is no different than natural tea, but tea is part of the chemical synthesis, if too much of this substance into the body will cause damage to the liver and kidneys.

Experts said that if the tea in milk tea does not exceed the standard, a person drinking or not much is basically no big harm. But if you add the amount of additives exceeding the threshold or if you drink too much and drink for a long time, you are likely to cause damage to the liver and kidney. Because the tea after going in may have to go through the liver and kidney to exchange the article, but the tea is a synthetic chemical, if you drink too much, it will certainly increase the burden on the liver and kidneys The long-term accumulation will inevitably cause damage to the liver and kidney function.

Pearl beads contain many toxic elements
