What effects does long-term drinking of milk tea have on the body?

A few days ago, I saw a netizen saying, "Everyone says milk tea is bad for the body, but no one can convince me. I drink a cup of milk tea every day and have been addicted for many years. Is branded milk tea better for the body?" I want to say, when you see this hot search "29-year-old woman diagnosed with diabetes after drinking milk tea every day for half a year", will you still say that? Do you still dare to drink a cup of milk tea every day?

Why is milk tea so harmful? The harm of milk tea is nothing more than the main ingredients of milk tea. Let’s talk about what harms milk tea has.

01. One of the hazards of milk tea - creamer, scientific name non-dairy creamer

One of the hazards of milk tea is creamer, whose scientific name is non-dairy creamer.

Creamer can make milk tea fragrant. Its main ingredients are hydrogenated vegetable oil, emulsifier, anti-caking agent and sodium caseinate.

Hydrogenated vegetable oils can cause an increase in serum total cholesterol, serum total lipids and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, which is harmful to the human body. Long-term excessive consumption can cause various cardiovascular diseases.

02. The second harm of milk tea: fruit flavored powder

The various flavors of milk tea you drink, such as taro, blueberry, etc., basically do not contain any fruit ingredients. Most of them rely on excessive addition of restricted pigments, flavors, sweeteners and thickeners to enhance color and flavor.

There are two problems with this food additive.

1. Although it is non-toxic, its absorption will increase the pressure on human metabolism, especially the liver and kidneys.

2. The purity of some industrial products is problematic

03. The third harm of milk tea: excessive sugar

A lot of sugar is added to milk tea, which exceeds the normal absorption level of normal people and can cause obesity. Some businesses also use sweeteners to increase the sweetness. For example, the stuff that costs only a few cents a bag and is made by mixing it, ah...

Ingredients of a certain brand of milk tea: water, white sugar, non-dairy creamer (glucose syrup, hydrogenated vegetable oil, sodium caseinate, diacetyl tartaric acid mono- and diglycerides, monostearate glyceryl fatty acid esters, sodium hexametaphosphate, sodium bicarbonate), skimmed milk powder, food additives (hydrogenated hydroxypropyl starch, carrageenan, sodium hexametaphosphate, nisin), black tea, edible flavoring, honey.

If you make your own milk tea, that's another approach.

Of course, I suggest you drink more water, mineral water will do. If you have requirements for taste, you can buy some tea or something.
