A 19-year-old boy had back pain and his stomach was full of milk tea pearls. How tempting is milk tea?

Science Fiction Network reported on January 11 (Xu Mingyang) According to Metropolis Express, a 19-year-old boy in Tonglu went to the hospital for an X-ray because of back discomfort. After receiving the film, the doctor found a lot of particles on it. He said it might be the pearl milk tea he drank before. The doctor guessed that these "pearls" were swallowed directly without chewing, so they could not be digested.

Most of the milk tea sold on the market now is new-style milk tea, which has a more mellow taste and can be added with pearls, mochi, coconut, milk cap, taro paste and other ingredients to make it more flavorful. Traditional milk tea is mostly made with milk or mare's milk, brick tea, and some butter or salt is added at home for seasoning, which is generally salty. Traditional milk tea in some southern regions uses black tea and sugar, and tastes sweet. In comparison, traditional milk tea has higher nutritional value.

New-style milk tea has a higher sugar content. The "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents" stipulates that "daily sugar intake should not exceed 50 grams, and it is best to control it below 25 grams." Survey data shows that the average sugar content of new-style milk tea with normal sweetness is about 35 grams, and the cup with the highest sugar content reaches 62 grams.

Many milk tea shops use creamer instead of milk in their milk tea. The difference in one word makes a world of difference in nutritional value. Creamer contains trans fats, and excessive intake increases the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and may also affect the development of children's nervous system.

Tests have found that milk tea also contains caffeine. Data show that each kilogram of milk tea contains an average of 258 mg of caffeine. Excessive intake of caffeine may cause insomnia, palpitations, etc. When buying, you can choose milk tea that is mainly milk, and try not to choose full sugar.
