Speaking from the OMP: food add "healthy ingredients" worthy of pursuit吗? -healthy recipes and snacks

Year of the Ox Chinese New Year has just passed, and add milk特仑苏on much hubbub of the OMP, I received 78 media requests. Reporters ask: OMP what? It harmful? It whole? How much is it to add volume?

I said: sorry, OMP is not a precise scientific terms, are self-made business out of the word. At the Ministry of Health did not release test results, businesses do not themselves provide an accurate statement, I can not give you any answer. I did not investigate, and there is no right to speak.

At present, relevant experts have been saying give the regulatory department has also been give conclusions, do not have to go to discuss whether the product is harmful to the question. However, the case exposed by the food and health claims that question mark should not therefore ends.

In fact, a year ago, many people asked "OMP What is" the problem and ask me: you buy OMP add do not buy the milk? My answer: do not buy.

Why? They asked.

I thought that way. First of all, for the food, the consumer should have the right to know. Apart from natural food ingredients, if you add other ingredients, should inform consumers. Should not only inform its legal name, it should also be informed of its content or content range. For example, add one of a kind of pigment, then the required tags on what kind of note in the end, rather than simply write "pigment." The scope of its content are how much, from food additives can be found on the use of standard, more than the scope is illegal. Promulgated in accordance with our country last year, food nutrition labeling regulations, food, if that adds some nutrients, it must also want to inform what it is material, the content is.

If a product publicity, said one of vigorously add vitamin A, but did not say how much, how do you watch? If you add too much, may cause toxic reactions, unsafe. If you add too little and thus fail to nutritional effects, are not蒙人? Therefore, this product, simply can not buy.

listening to this, we all nodded his head. However, OMP is not a vitamin, ah, ah it is the active ingredient. They asked.

me, that it is because the active ingredients are, even more peace of mind. What is the active ingredient in the end? It's神神秘秘, even the experts refuse to tell,弄个inexplicable abbreviations to deal with the public, this is the lack of respect for the consumer's right to know. Why do we eat a dictionary of biochemistry are even can not find out, even the experts are not sure of suspicious example? Surprisingly also for the many components of such a suspicious money, it is incredible!

everybody agree, but many people still believe that now that add to food products, must be some good things. - normal people listen to "X factor" such as cloud cover fog cover vocabulary and listen more, and is already very accustomed to the speculation of the status of the犯晕vocabulary.

me that question is that it tell you at the packaging on how much you add? Add up the number of patent Say no use, packaging promises add up how much it important. Obviously, such material does not belong to day-to-day added to the nutrient composition of foods. Extra in case of such substances have side effects how to do?

again On the contrary, it is probably a good thing, but businesses inside did not add, or add the amount of very small no effect, and who will supervise it? Now that there is no security, why should you buy it?

management from the perspective of laws and regulations, if a product health claims, such as bone, then it must declare health food products. If it does not have the batch number of health food products, on the role of unauthorized health claims, it is illegal! However, this product really does not have any health food batch.

so, this mysterious material in the end what is safe, or minor problem (now the conclusions have already come out, it does not by cancer risk). Should be most concerned about our food products are exposed in the management of the tremendous vulnerability - be able to permit a self-made business name, even the experts are saying that is not clear what the "active ingredient" milk add this great noodle consumption Canton of food products, after Do not need approval, do not need to publish their real composition, Marking Products Do not need in the real components, and does not require specific content tagging ... ...

If the management problems are not resolved today with OMP, perhaps tomorrow will be out of food in the EMP, UMP and other baffling terms.

consumers have a right to know in the end they ate anything. In particular to food to add extra things. Food additives have to understand that even marked out a significant physiological activity of the biochemical composition can it be ambiguous? If so, can only be used to describe a word: terrible!

few days ago, a well-known anti-counterfeiting Wang prosecute people Coca-Cola Company, because cola drinks contain caffeine, but not in the packaging label on content, but also not suitable for children without prompting drinking beverages that contain caffeine. Coca-Cola feels aggrieved, but from a consumer perspective, there is the number of parents are aware of cola which contain caffeine, may cause a child addicted to it? How many parents know that one of the phosphate absorption of minerals, however disadvantages?

It appears that our country's food labeling and health claims, from the no legal basis to have law, have a good long way to go ah. To really improve food quality and safety, in a sense, the U.S. consumer, we should also learn study Wang, strengthen human rights awareness. Each note is a ballot paper - Although there is no law enforcement power, at least money in our own hands, those who do not behave dishonestly products, we can not cast its votes.

老鸭汤safety: the acidity of the doubt and nitrite-healthy recipes and snacks

According to "China's quality newspaper" reported this month, "can not be separated from materials processing老鸭汤stewed carrots, peppers and老姜such as raw materials, but these materials will have a post-orchestrated acid, total acid is too high not only affect product quality, acid value is too high will oil is toxic, but also endanger the health of consumers. "Chongqing is responsible for Quality Supervision Bureau of a person also said that the new standards required, stewed老鸭汤material shall not exceed the total acid content of 2%, nitrite is also the new standard there is strictly limited, each kg stewing nitrite material may not be more than 20 mg. It is said that this standard is expected to implement during the year.

food sector has been one of those things that feel confused, that is, food and beverage industry on how to control food safety problem. In addition to the total number of coliform bacteria, some details of the norms are often blank. Raw food stored at what temperature? Stew what the quality of ingredients? What quality of seasoning sauce? Cooking temperature is too high too far when frequent work? Add how much salt? How much oil? Cooking oil heated to high acid value of the viscosity change much after? Ingredients not allowed inside so gaya, nitrate, alum and alkali, so that not add flavor and color?

these, perhaps managers would not be able to answer, because there is no relevant standards and regulations. This situation, so that Chinese food has always been free in a variety of food quality standard management system, its quality depends entirely on industry self-regulation, while relying on self-discipline thing, how can consumers be assured it completely. Therefore, the Chongqing老鸭汤introduced such well-known food and beverage products, safety-related standards, it would be very pleased.

However, look at the standards, also see question two.

First, this standard is only expected standards stew, rather than the final product老鸭汤standards. Speaking of stew meal nitrite should not exceed 20mg/kg, are said acid pickling radish time and methods must be in place, because to eat pickled sauerkraut like storms and nitrite poisoning happened uncommon case. Very much hope that such standards not only limit the stew老鸭汤nitrite content material, but also put the fish used in sauerkraut, kimchi beef and other dishes like kimchi dish meal of sauerkraut, pickled vegetables such products restrict the do.

However, the possession of live radish, can manage it cooks? Go south once again to eat a镇店boutique shops老鸭汤, they found老鸭color pink, it is obvious that duck dishes are cooked before or nitrite added. Taste the so-called secret system, the original is such a "technical content." For this kind of abuse of nitrite in food and beverage operation, or possession of such standards it is no matter then?

Second, this standard, there is a puzzling place. Radish acid acidity, and fat acidity, are two concepts completely. High acidity oils are not released because acid radish sake, but because the oxidation deterioration or excessive heating sake. Sour radish with restrictions to ensure the oil acidity acidity standards, what is this logic? Moreover, the normal radish acid or lactic acid are acetic acid, are beneficial to health material, and then after cooking in the process of evaporation and dilution, it is impossible to have any adverse effects on health, why deliberately restrictions? Unless they are worried about using vinegar concentrate sour like to strengthen the practice, which has nothing to do with grease. I believe people in charge of quality supervision bureau certainly have considerable professional standards, definitely would not say such a strange word. Reporter is likely to be understood not in place, put the meaning of get twisted.

thus thought to be a food and health industry reporter, but also long-term should not willingly become a layman, must want a little professionalism, many learn that the relevant知识. At that time, if they can not understand, must want a good hard question, or invited experts to review, to avoid misleading the common people do. Since media coverage, then a direct bearing on people's food choices and health behaviors ah!

always have a mind, I hope newspapers and magazines can do with special health, dietary interviews and writing class, and these personnel are required to undergo a certain induction training before they can be, or directly recruit the relevant professional qualifications university graduates or above.

Barbecue in the pepper essence: you Are you afraid of? -healthy recipes and snacks

Recently, there have been quite a few friends to ask: pepper essence What is this? I heard a lot of barbecue food and barbecue sauce are put pepper essence, have some food but also because卤制add pepper and spicy astonishing precision. Synthesis of this kind of thing are you? Toxic and harmful吗?

the original, using pepper sperm to produce food ingredients, is not a fraud thing, but at home and abroad has been the prevailing approach. Spicy duck neck, whether or kebab, or add rice paste or red ...... a lot of oil or chili products have traces of sperm. With it, you want to be able to do many spicy. Thus, at present a lot of hot spicy foods have been unprecedented degree.

a Korean barbecue sauce so the developer wrote: "in essence chili peppers as raw material, widely used in a variety of condiments and foods, its main components are capsaicin, protein, amino acids and sugars, form of dark brown viscous liquid-like. Capsaicin content was about 1.3%, protein and amino acid content of 40%, 23-25% total sugar, colors, attractive, pure taste. "

access to professional article found that the so-called" pepper essence "of the scientific name is called" oleoresin capsicum "pepper are extracted from , concentration obtained from a product that has a strong spicy flavor. It contains besides the spicy chili ingredients, but also contain chilli alcohol, protein, pectin, polysaccharides, such as over a hundred species of Capsanthin complex chemicals. Pepper essence is a general commercial ambiguous name, any category containing capsaicin extract products are called pepper essence, can have very different content. Since 1997 a company in Guizhou first put pepper into refined products market, annual sales have doubled and redoubled. This is because sperm concentration chili homemade goods was very low at present, give the people of India has created a very big benefits.

then, the so-called category of capsaicin, what things?

chemical analysis found that the pungent ingredient in hot peppers is capsaicin substances, including at least eight kinds of the above compounds, one of capsaicin and dihydro - accounted for about 95% of capsaicin. Physiological activity of the strongest are capsaicin, it can be used in medicine on anti-inflammatory analgesic, research has found that they have some immunosuppressive effects, and reduce the role of certain inflammatory factors, are currently used for arthritis and nerve tissue disease treatment of them. At the national defense can be used on the production of injection of self-defense equipment, because direct contact type of capsaicin lead to respiratory tract and eyes, mucous membrane damage, and even directly killed by respiratory epithelial cells. The study also found that capsaicin-type role with the in vitro antioxidant, may delay the copper ion-induced oxidation of blood LDL.

in food production because of the direct use of pepper has all the inconveniences, and the spicy pepper degree must also have restrictions on the appearance of fine pepper producers make a lot of joy about. In view of the consumers of spicy hobby of "not the most spicy, only more hot" pursuit of precision by using pepper spicy Ways to bring a lot of products to sell.

In other words, the chili is not an illegal additive precision, but a natural food extract ingredients. However, even if it is a natural material, there is probably at the same processing used in the process of being contaminated. For example, when the extraction and mixed-use potential of residual organic solvents, which is fine chili Products marked with hazardous substances in the causes of residue standards.

At the same time, even if the ingredients are natural hot pepper, like excessive use may be harmful to health. It is precisely because of chili pepper in spicy sperm are concentrated material products, it is possible to create natural pepper by high prices and should not spicy degrees, so it mucosal damage could be even greater. Stimulate people to pursue caution.

the skin, eyes, mouth, respiratory and digestive tract there is injury, there is inflammation or ulceration of the state there is, do not try to contain chilli refined food . Hand contact with it after a period of time not to go to touch and rub the eyes, so as not to cause unnecessary suffering.

Pie head soak in trouble-healthy recipes and snacks

away from home the day before yesterday, when the supper on a "gold flounder head" dishes. In fact, this dish is quite common, most restaurants have a "bubble head pie" dish, the head of this flounder. The problem is that each ate this dish, I feel thirsty mouth, tongue discomfort. The worse, beginning in the stomach hard on plane, tried to return home, things are out of fish smell. It is obvious that most likely are not fresh due to the head.

this flounder pie head soak very welcome by the customers, but most restaurants have a common problem: Too heavy seasoning. Many salt, soy sauce, add sugar, monosodium glutamate and a variety of sauce, the taste of mouth甜咸extremely strong. No wonder this dish quickly opened the sales, because of its strong seasoning really impressive.

I have repeatedly said that if the dish is sweet and salty taste of rich, then it will be much higher salinity in non-sweet food, because there is reduce the salty sweet role. Bubble head cake is such a dish. It has many soup, but also put these customers with cake salty broth to a staggering蘸食all eaten, so after eating this dish, the total amount of salt intake is a staggering quantity!

No wonder every time after eating, feel that the tongue and mouth were salted too hard - some more salt, they are afraid of faster into the bacon. U.S. stomach, they will probably get injured, because of gastric wall mucus layer protective layer that are vulnerable to many salt to soak wash.

At the same time, to do this head, the general need to salt, but also possible to carry out deep-fried or fried. Used frying oil had not high quality, but also through repeated heating, and are not conducive to health. Some restaurants in order to add strong flavor, use margarine to fish or fish head first. This oil, eat Yi?

For this reason, I never touch those who had been released a lot of oil cake, but do not want to go蘸食the so-called taste sauce. After this lesson, and even the head itself慎食to see if fresh enough.

But why do some restaurants are so strong seasoning it? Not put the head light some吗? Needless to say, in fact, can be guessed, dishes flavorings过浓, most are raw materials in order to cover up the smell or not fresh. Refreshing fresh seasonings go well as raw materials, it is a great waste. As the production of steamed fish must live fish are, and the production of dry fish, stewed fish, but are probably dead fish九成. Also, for example, has been a bit smelly with the meat to make flavored concentrated回锅肉almost do not eat out; and if we use it to make stew or general cooking dishes, definitely it is difficult to cover up the smell of.

If the head is fresh, that could have been done not so salty, but not significantly reduced the extent of its taste. People love the strong flavor dishes, the pursuit of taste stimulation, the middle wants some restaurants because they are more user-friendly low-grade material to reduce the cost of the ... ...

It suffices to say that the head of raw materials flounder if not fresh, there is obvious smell, restaurants will be developed into such a rich dish amazing. Comments from the Internet easy to flounder fish meat, then broken in, you can listen to it usually not fresh fish. Since fresh fish is not broken, and only take a long time meat will become worse. Such raw materials, bacteria or exceeded the total number of breeding a number of pathogens, it is not a strange thing.

Friend heard this matter on my question: What kind of flounder fish? Why have only seen the middle of the head have not seen it? In fact, it is a relatively flat shape of the deep-sea fish, the fish succulent and tender meat. The problem is that middle part was used for processing into fish processing plants, fish and other products for export overseas, most Chinese people been able to see is the factory production waste - the head, also there is fish. These things from the factory to the restaurants, has not necessarily very fresh. Head with gills, large quantity of bacteria, is the fish most likely site of corruption, if the transport or retention of improperly, are more likely not fresh meat, or breeding of pathogens.

I have been wondering abuse it, can eat Chinese on the head with fish scraps, and even the raw materials are not new, only foreign the person can get a good deep-sea fish? Now the financial crisis in the West, is not screaming at stimulating domestic demand growth, but also give their own people that fair treatment, let us eat that the original export only high quality food, work?

Popcorn carefully the new dangerous! -healthy recipes and snacks

a day job to the School at 6:30, the students still look to do the experiment, it was decided from the canteen something delicious things to thank them. What ice糖葫芦ah, ah donkey butter, tea ah eggs, fried mushrooms ... ah ... one big package installed. When I walked out of canteen when suddenly the door to see there is a popcorn stand to be attracted to fragrance, so went over to buy one package, students must want to enjoy these things.

However, in the evening light that popcorn look carefully apportioned, they could not help but have caught the cold.

a large piece of white solid fats, there is no doubt that the infamous man-made butter. I have countless times told consumers, which contained trans fatty acids harmful to human health will be greatly increased, heart disease, diabetes and even Alzheimer's, and probably with associated infertility. When I asked, the chef said with a smile, it was butter.

me that you are cream plants, cheaper than butter. Look at him surprised me, I seem to feel that perhaps are a bit non-professionals. He said that this plant butter is also one jin 10 yuan, the butter how 10 dollars buy.

I said, clinging cream possible? He said that what is good ah, too dry a. Of course, you can put a little less. I say: a child does not eat popcorn is clinging oil ah. Master said, but that lead popcorn ah, toxic ah! It seems that he knows how to quite many, but he did not know that this sweet-smelling plants cream, if eaten many, and may not be greater than that of lead hazards of small elements.

And, I also see that there is next to four bottles, bottle Department mottled plaques forwarding to the same splash as a dark paint color. My question: What is this? Master said that it was Flavor ah, brown flavors are chocolate, cantaloupe are green, yellow are orange, and red is strawberry. Shannon does not it does not. Of course, you can also want the original flavor.

I said, of course, want the original flavor, and white popcorn become colorful, many horrible. Master quickly explained to me, these flavors is not allocated me! Are products of informal enterprises to do, you look above the names of all manufacturing enterprises do. However, I am sorry, what I wanted to spent pot chocolate flavor, I am afraid you have to get this little brown pot.

I carefully looked at the bottles, which turns out to be a chemical enterprise products. One of the ingredients are all natural food coloring and flavors, there are other accessories. Although I used to watch these terms, know it's not poison, but the thought of people actually put such a strong color such as watercolor stomach to swallow, or a bit dizzy, not to mention its taste is too strong to choke people.

away with him, I put a big number of those infected with light brown back to the laboratory of popcorn. It met with the students cheered. Xinhuai my guilt to think: if they are aware there are things that are hazardous to health? Although not many plants put butter, after all, contrary to my usual stay away from trans fatty acids to the principles of the ah.

In fact, popcorn in trouble, I do not know first. A result of the coachman did not have dinner, moving the car to buy a bag of microwave popcorn, perhaps add a little motion sickness due to stomach churn for a long time after eating, vomiting. Go home, I purposely bought microwave popcorn from the supermarket before we know what it actually contains 15 percent fat, but fat is a rich source of trans fatty acids of hydrogenated vegetable oil! From then on, I can not eat microwave popcorn.

only recently aware that the original sale of popcorn is filled, are in the use of hydrogenated vegetable oil made from plants butter. Moreover, compared with the previous two years, and now even more shocking amount, but also added various fragrance and pigment!

who I would like to master, said himself in danger. In 2007 the United States have reported that the production of popcorn, if not the workers, often add flavor to eat popcorn, may also lead to a called "popcorn lung" disease. The symptoms of this disease are cough and shortness of breath, because contacts are many "diacetyl" arising. Diacetyl is a naturally occurring in food aroma components in fermented dairy products, bakery and have an extremely small amount of diacetyl. However, the popcorn flavor diacetyl which is too strong too choked, its on the human body to stimulate the lungs strong, natural foods are unparalleled.

the past, people only know that popcorn small converter which contain lead, and those who lead not from corn, are from the converter under high-temperature volatile status of the lead. However, the number of people now know that when they watch movies and eat sweet popcorn, the original is such a considerable number contain saturated fat, a considerable number of additives, considerable trans-fatty acids, but also harm the lungs of unhealthy food it?

Found in the food safety and health-healthy recipes and snacks

In the case of melamine after a lot of friends have said nothing of the kind: Having read a lot about "toxic food" report, almost covers our day-to-day spending most of the food. We Chinese people have something to eat it? Just simply starved to death. "

such a feeling, it is able to represent the part of people's feelings. They feel that this was also poisoned, it would have contaminated ingredient suspected in all, fear of all, I feel the food on the table things are terrible. Another part is people破罐破摔, now that nothing is certainly safe to eat, what to eat What to eat simply and do not consider what nutritional balance.

more than these two emotions, can enhance people's health.

pollution in this world, looking for completely non-toxic food ingredients, it is impossible to find. Antarctic krill have been detected pesticide ingredients, what is there to clean? As long as enough precision testing instruments, in food products, be able to find various chemical substances: we often eat pharmaceutical ingredients, we take a bath of chemicals等日shampoo ingredients, we used in the soil of Rodenticide灭蟑Herbicides Fungicides drugs, our industrial production of wastewater sludge, our car tire rubber friction particles, as well as our favorite lamb kebab smoke ... ... have the packaging, transportation inadvertently contaminated with harmful substances and those of people deliberately掺杂使假added non-food components.

in such a world, how should we do?扎起throat are things to eat, or just乱吃? It is obvious that things are suicidal do not eat, and things乱吃would cause malnutrition or nutritional imbalance.

even though "malnutrition" and "nutritional imbalance" of the word sounds is not terrible, in fact, harm than the melamine, white crane Sudan more like block. Since nutritional imbalance, each year has more than 250 million people suffering from cardio-and cerebro-vascular disease to leave this world; because nutritional imbalance, a growing number of cancer and people were tortured by a variety of chronic diseases. Strangely enough, for these terrible diseases, but people nonchalant and not prevention.

in turn, think about the pollution in this same world, eating the same "unsafe" food, why is the health of someone, it was unhealthy? Why is someone dynamic, someone flagging? Why do some people slim bodybuilding, it was overstaffed baggy? Why do some color Moisturizes, someone yellow bleak? All these health differences, can only be explained by food safety吗?

people living in this world, why eat food? This basic question, but a lot of people are often forgotten. Want to eat food, favorite food, just a representation. It is the essence of the human body are in the pursuit of the nutritional content of food and health ingredients. Without these ingredients, food would have no value. Even cleaner such as pure water, does not contain any toxins, not enough will give health benefits. That is why, for food, only required "security", or not enough. Not enough to give up because of food safety in the pursuit of healthy ingredients, but also a lack of rational.

at扰扰have food safety incident, may wish to clarify our thinking so:

food insecurity , are brought to us the dangers of the outside world. The size of these dangerous it is difficult to predict, endless trouble for them, and to ensure their health is concerned, there are not many practical benefits.

health factors in food, are brought to us the bounty of nature. These benefits have been scientifically proven, we can, through their own choice to get them. For the protection of their health, the right choice is even more important.

not accurate enough to cite an example: even though the world's frequent traffic accidents, but if people have bought a car, we will consider not only safety, but also consider other performance, it can give us the actual benefits. Since, in the final analysis, our cars are for the benefits of buying a car.

Similarly, we are food for the healthy ingredients and eating food. In other words, now that people can not leave food for survival, rather than to concentrate on "what should not" above the negative ideas, such as a change in thinking not to give more consideration to "what I should eat."

Happily, if we select those who are in favor of nutrition and health food, then we will stay away from a lot of insecurity. On the one hand, those who are often better quality food, more fresh, healthy ingredients disadvantage less; On the other hand, those of food can improve our resistance and "detoxification" ability to assist our body to remove pollution, improve the overall level of safety.

At the same time, yes, if we find the key points, set up the basic concept of a healthy diet can be less susceptible to the effects of some erroneous information, not in detail similar to those of the category g very confused and disoriented on the matter, to focus on how to balance their nutritional intake on the event, for example -

today, you ate a pound of vegetables , there is one of half a catty绿叶菜吗?

today, you ate half a catty of grain, there is at least one of a kind of coarse grains吗?

you ate a soy products today吗?

today, you ate half a catty of fruit?

today you drank a glass of milk, yogurt or milk吗?

today you ate an egg or eggs in the same quantity of other吗?

you can do light cooking, put less oil and salt吗?

day you food more than 20 kinds of raw materials often吗?

these health practices, will give you a good health and lay the framework. They have the bottom, even if there are still food insecure lot of factors, at least we can get all kinds of precious lives and health of the necessary ingredients to maintain the vitality of the basic and the "anti" capacity. On this basis, further away from the relatively low value of some health food, diet quality can be greatly enhanced.

Oh, wordy so many, in the final analysis, this book with our readers want to explore is filled with insecurity in the food world, how to find health Survive Way to find life happy.

thoughts decide the way out. As long as consider another perspective, we will see that in this world, food enjoyment, food safety and health of beauty can co-exist in harmony.

; - for "How to eat the most secure," one of the preface written

(I was not a food safety expert, do not want to write what has been food safety book, but the editor can put my hard edge and food safety knot the set of characters, so this has been forthcoming from the Chinese chemical industry published a new book: how to eat the most secure.)

Misunderstanding of food additive-healthy recipes and snacks

since the milk powder incident, asked for an interview on Food Additives of the media suddenly many questions up. However, after listening to journalist's question, I found that they ask the question, most of them and additives打不着eight poles. This regard, people's misconceptions are so many to such an extent that even the problem itself, are enormous misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding 1: food add harmful substances, are food additives.

recently announced nine ministries food possible to add the list of non-food substances Originally, in order to clarify what are food additives, what non-food substances, result is just the opposite, had been mistakenly described as "illegal food additives" list. Dumbfounding to me want to, make such a "non-food substances" list, not very absurd吗? Tomorrow, someone probably put added watercolor cakes, the day after someone put lime powder added to flour, the大后天someone put red chilli powder added to flour in crime ...... endless creative ah yes, then this list is not will be a long extended, put 10 million kinds of non-food substances are included?

In fact, the food additive is a proper noun, it refers specifically to those countries that permit the use of added material in food products. The reason why a lot of people very bad impression of the additive is added to because of illegal food products and food additives things confused. May wish to make a test:

Which of the following substances do not belong to food additives? (You can choose many)

A formaldehyde ; B吊白块C Sudan D industrial paraffin E melamine

F Calcium Propionate G potassium sorbate I Dichlorvos H sulfite J benzene peroxide acid

Among the options in the above, A, B, C, D, G are non-food substances. Formaldehyde foam used to seafood, to use bleaching powder吊白块silk, with Sudan to give chili oil stain, industrial paraffin wax polish to give fruit, this is prohibited by country. Because they simply do not belong to the scope of food additives, there is sure to human health hazards. This is like people should not draw the pigments used to make beverages, which can not be painted the wall color paint to give the same cake. Melamine is not what natural food additives. It should have been affixed to furniture and plastic bowls of noodle production materials. Add it to food products can be said to be an incredible amazing "creative." All times and had not put melamine into food products of the records, naturally not have this kind of food additives.

those non-food substances, regardless of the number of add in food, are illegal. Food additives is different, if not excess, super scope of use, is lawful. For example, in the candy country permission to add food coloring, as long as the content is not excessive is not illegal. Unless there is a new scientific study found that the toxicity of its reaction, only by government departments to change their use limited, or food additives from the list go out. So that the reporter from the association of melamine to food additives, is completely misunderstood the basic concepts of food additives.

two errors: Some brand that does not contain additives, so better than other brands.

assert that there is a food expert: "I do not add any food additive of processed foods, it is impossible for high-quality, safe food. " - In modern society, the words not out of line. However, we will see in shopping malls have some good food brands such publicity: "This product does not contain preservatives. "" This product contains no artificial coloring. "" This product does not contain fragrance. "Consumers move their heart, think they are more healthy, so pleased to buy.

In fact, it is only a means of commercial publicity it. It uses consumer food additives do not know, let people misunderstood that only this brand does not contain some additives, on the other brands contain. This often seems there is unfair competition. For example, instant noodles containing little water, do not need to add long-term preservation of preservatives, to do this propaganda, in fact, is a deliberate attempt to mislead the "nonsense."

in accordance with the June 2008 start of the "hygiene standards of food additives" in the provisions of our country will be divided into 22 categories of food additives, a total of 1812 kinds, including 290 kinds of additives, 1528 kinds of spices, 149 kinds of processing aids, Chewing Gum have 55 kinds of basic agents. All over the world food additives market to reach annual sales of more than 16 billion U.S. dollars. Modern food processing difficult to completely leave the preservatives. Even some foods that do not contain preservatives, may not contain anti-oxidants; even if that does not contain pigment, does not mean that it does not contain fragrance, it does not mean do not contain emulsifiers, thickeners and other additives.

three errors: There is no food additives must safer.

In many cases, if no suitable additives, processed foods will only become more unsafe. Take instant noodles, the grease in the air will be released ten days to have Ha La flavor, and deep-fried instant noodles is the shelf life for half a year, and will not有味. Why? Since there is one of anti-oxidants. Grease in the air oxidation, is only right and proper thing. If you do not want to curb oxidation problem approach, resulting in substantial oxidation of substances harmful to health, what to eat have value?

outside apart from instant noodles, all relatively high fat content of food, it will inevitably have to resort to anti-oxidants. What rice crust, potato chips, small Serratula, orchids beans, and even some cookies, cookies, sending those inside ... ... the supermarket is a good one released a few months with oil products, if we do not add anti-oxidants, it is easy变味.

also, for instance, those who take a long time at the supermarket's fruit preserves, soy sauce and pickles which, in the absence of sugar and salt of these two "natural preservatives" and assist, on the will soon be destroyed by bacteria and fungi. But now people are aware that many糖吃salt and not conducive to health. Therefore sugar preserved fruit and low-salt pickles can only resort to a synthetic preservatives. Also, for example, kids like to eat the jelly, but also need to add preservatives. Otherwise, it is not the high sugar content, moisture content is so large, how can at room temperature to preserve them so long.

so that food additives should not add time to add no chaos, which does not add time to add them. The most important thing, after all, food security, micro-organisms always ready with us compete for nutrients in food, air, oxygen is also ready to let the nutritional content of food oxidation metamorphism. As many experts have said, do not add additives, processed foods, in general, are very rare, but is not reassuring.

four errors: additive merchants are only used to deceive the consumer things.

why the modern food industry can not be separated from food additives? Consumers because the appearance of the food quality, texture quality, convenience, save time raised demanding than ever. If there are no additives, it is difficult to imagine the food to maintain a pleasant time status, it is hard to imagine that consumers can be assured of food to eat. Can not take 12 days or corruption will长霉Products, supermarkets dare to sell it? Released a few days will pale变味products, production enterprises dare to sell it? Even if they dare to sell, consumers are willing to purchase吗?

if consumers refuse to buy fresh raw materials to produce their own, also called for the preservation of food a long time and pretty colors special taste good, it would be only a peaceful coexistence and food additives. - not a desire to meet are not a price. Think easy, think convenience, thought the mouth addictive and often have to pay a certain price. Businessmen are not so much to deceive consumers, better to say that consumers are color blind pursuit of their own fragrance, blind pursuit of "open BAG eat" convenience.

so that the food additive, it should be accepted calmly, sure that their food safety, taste and convenience of the contributions made, but consumers should avoid the excessive pursuit of texture, color , Taste of errors, acceptance of the natural characteristics of food, and look at the ingredients on the packaging shows that in order to select food wisely.

For those who do not belong to food additives harmful substances, if added to food, should be severely punished by the law. Hope that the legal definition of this case, it should be to achieve a "threat to public safety" Level of conviction, not just the "manufacturing of fake and shoddy products" punishment.

Some misunderstanding pickles carcinogenic-healthy recipes and snacks

recent blog at the health group, the fiery pickled cabbage carcinogenic gain problem, have a lot of friends on pickled food safety of some problems. I am not a food safety expert, only on the basis of their relevant knowledge and access to literature, to explain some common misunderstandings.

misunderstood one: salt pickles, sharp pickles, pickles, pickles, sauerkraut and Korean kimchi are all about love.

even though these foods are the property of "GB 2714-2003 pickles hygiene standards," the scope of management, but its different manufacturing process, fermentation in different ways, so as not dangerous. A number of studies have proven that because of lactic acid bacteria do not have the nitrate reductase, strictly pure lactic acid produced by fermentation of the nitrite content is very low. Add kimchi pickled in the Fresh Ginger, fresh chili, garlic, green onions, onions, basil and other ingredients may help reduce the nitrite level. Paste system required several months of pickles nitrite content was also low. Only a few days on the consumption of pickled pickles storms, as well as bacteria pollution, preserved for less than the kimchi, pickled vegetables can promote the cancer problem.

Unfortunately, my country a lot of local residents enjoy a large number of storms to eat pickles, have put a lot of residents enjoy their own vegetables, chopped , add salt mix, in the refrigerator, put a few days, I make crisp pickles to eat. This is in fact a variant of pickles storms, are not safe. The survey found a lot of eating improperly produced pickles, and gastric cancer, esophageal cancer associated high hair do exist, but also in the sample also identified carcinogens.

two misunderstandings: informal factories and small workshops Products Safety Products are the same.

current food processing and technical level of enterprises vary greatly. Higher levels of a small number of technology companies artificial selection can be done over the safety of bacteria to vaccination, strict control of fermentation conditions, thus ensuring the product is not excessive nitrite. Some enterprises have be able to strictly comply with traditional crafts, salt, soy sauce and fermented over three weeks time, even to a few months ago, will also avoid excessive nitrite problem. Detected from existing accounts, the informal enterprise product nitrite exceeded only a small minority situation.

However, some small workshop, individuals produced pickles, sauerkraut, pickles and other products without quality control, production processes confusion both strains, fermentation conditions, the use of additives, storage and transportation all aspects of possible hidden dangers exist, hard to guarantee security.

seen from the above, our country should be on all the traditional foods are guiding the development of a technology standard, clearly pointed out that the production of key points of hazard control and the specific requirements and systematically study a variety of preserved vegetables consumption on health. In this regard to the Korea Kimchi study, but also Western countries can learn from Western-style kimchi production management experience. Consumers should give priority to select the products of informal enterprises, or the production of standardized procedures.

three misconceptions: nitrite is not exceeded on the pickles must be qualified.

our country under the present category of preserved vegetables food sampling test results, informal enterprises preserved vegetables products The main problem is excessive additives, preservatives such as superscalar, saccharin overweight, overweight, such as sulfite. Put less salt in order to avoid the taste过咸, while avoiding excessive microbial growth, enterprises often add preservatives; in order to improve the flavor, add saccharin possible; in order to allow some of the color is more beautiful, it may be bleached sulfite, or put a little pigment and so on. Compared to nitrite, the toxicity of these substances are small, but more than the national standard is not up to standard products.

here want that, Add a small amount of turmeric pigment or red pigment are harmless, they all belong to the natural pigment and even the health of the role must have.

four misunderstanding: If pickles are all indicators qualified, you can rest assured that plenty of.

no matter how high-quality preserved vegetables, they contain more salt, after all, are the food, one of the natural anti - oxidation there is a greater loss of components, they are not the nutritional value of fresh vegetables considerable.

here want to explain that the preserved vegetables contain dietary fiber and a certain amount of calcium, magnesium, potassium and other minerals , lactic acid fermentation and acetic acid fermentation can also produce a small amount of B vitamins, they are qualified hygiene pickles is not completely useless. All the peoples of the world likes to eat pickles, a small amount of food that the food is fine as an appetizer, but if use it as a meal in one of the main course, alternative fresh vegetables, not a proper. Chronic patients and children in particular, the need for greater consumption of fresh vegetables to prevent disease or promote growth, and develop good taste light meal habits, it is not appropriate to eat pickles.

Friday misunderstanding: only possible carcinogens pickles, preserved and dried seafood like nothing.

in fact, preserved and dried foods have the seafood may contain carcinogenic nitrosamines category objects. Nitrite toxicity in itself only, and are really human carcinogen "nitrosamine" and "dinitramide Asia", they are nitrite and protein decomposition products, "Amine substances" combined happened results. Fish, seafood protein in the transport and storage in easily degradable, and they hint of flavor and odor is caused by amines material. At salted fish fillets dry, dried shrimps, shredded squid and other food products often contain a certain amount of nitrosamine carcinogens category. Bleaching is also one of the existence of problem, have too much salt is not conducive to health.

contrast, hygiene qualified salted egg,酱豆腐are quite safe food.

Do not eat beans, restaurants will be more secure? -healthy recipes and snacks

orange bug which loaded with orange and fruit farmers have turned to the debilitating, Hong Kong also found to contain melamine eggs, it is about the safety of eggs created concerns. A message, a report will give up the market set off waves, one can imagine, there is the psychological problem of food safety nervous, has come to what extent.

recently seen reports, in order to guarantee food safety of students, the future will not permit college canteen cooking beans and liver, etc.食物. Some students love to eat beans express puzzled, because beans are more suitable for a long time heating vegetable raw materials, even if the colors darken, taste and texture can still be maintained, in the canteen in the very popular. While others believe that the canteen in the vitamin content of food generally low, the liver so nutritious food banned, is it as small as a source of nutrition.

In fact, this matter does not in itself surprising, in a few years ago, Beijing primary and secondary school students in the feeding Cook on raw materials not contain beans. The reason is very simple, because beans contain lectin were natural, necessary in order to complete the full heat inactivated, otherwise likely to cause discomfort reaction. Every year a large number of consumption because the beans are not cooked collective poisoning caused by the report of case. While this does not usually fatal poisoning, but the group of students does not in itself will make the production of school meals and nutrition can not be accountable to parents. Cold food in order to avoid possible troubles caused by bacteria, the students may even ask for no feeding the supply of cold dishes.

If all contain natural toxic substances have to prohibit the supply of food, then the need to consider not only the beans. For example, potato sprout green will produce toxin. Health beans which contain lectin. Easy moldy peanuts, which may arise aflatoxin. Seafood and some fruits may lead to allergic ... ...

in the security situation overwhelming, once found in other food security risks, canteens, restaurants or feeding producers is also likely to be swift action. For example, after the milk case, a lot of guest houses, hotels, canteens and students have been removed the supply of milk and yogurt. Orange maggots after rumor, there are many places simply do not supply any citrus fruits. What worries me is that after the eggs found Melamine, whether there is a large number of canteens, schools, hotels and other catering units are no longer producing eggs containing dishes do? So, by extension, if after the meat, fish and other products check out what the problem? If the vegetables do have pesticides?

Under such circumstances, the chef really nothing to do in Materials, we have no true natural food ate. All agricultural products are contaminated or may contain toxins, so perhaps it can only go Coke, eat cookies, because they did not seem to be bad food safety records. Some people insist to eat deep-fried dough sticks, eating hamburgers, because they said the food hygiene and safety conditions relatively reassuring. Their argument is this: would prefer not to nutrition, to ensure safety.

However, our goal is to eat what? Not in order to fool the stomach, in the final analysis, are the life activity in order to obtain the necessary nutrients, as well as the prevention of disease required by health factors. If these things have not been, even if the microbes are not exceeded 100 percent, 100 percent adulteration does not exist, eating what significance does it have?

must not forget, malnutrition will be weak, deformed or even death, nutritional imbalance can lead to disease and short-lived. Perhaps this seems like both vocabulary and Sudan melamine that horrible, but they are not the harmful effects of even smaller. Each year, millions of people because heart disease and cancer early to leave this world, and one of the vast majority of people, it is through a healthy diet to avoid such a tragedy.

security issues in a highly nervous, stay away from beans, liver and vegetables like salad dishes, our child had not become healthier. Statistics show that 20 years ago, our country in the primary physical and physical decline, in recent years in particular the rapid. The age of 18 minors in Beijing, but still has more than 20 million people have high blood lipids, hypertension and high blood sugar problem, overweight obesity as high as nearly 30 million people. Kids will have to pay the cost of short-lived, the quality of life has also declined significantly. And this dangerous, but not many parents in mind.

now that a variety of foods possible food safety risks exist, in the lament, "what can we eat," while are not able to change the perspective to see what food is more beneficial to us? If people can focus on how to eat nutritious food on a more balanced, we can reduce unnecessary confusion, more to enjoy the health benefits.

I do not object to the canteen at大锅菜disable beans, just want to prompt people - after all, complain and panic does not help, in good health. At condemn false, and calls on the Government to improve food safety issue, may wish to use a positive approach to select a higher nutritional value of food, the practice of a more healthy lifestyle, is concerned about the health of those who are now the most reliable measures .

Whether harmful烤红薯Q & A-healthy recipes and snacks

Background: a young people to come to an interview with the press on the question of烤红薯. After reading problem, it is estimated that they are in line to see hazardous烤红薯like Posts, intended to warn young people not to eat this kind of thing. Generally speaking, Say anything harmful to the press is concerned, is always very attractive thing. However, my answer may disappoint them.

1 coal baked way, will make sweet potato produce substances harmful to health?

easily lead to a direct open flame baking harmful substances, mainly starch, after more than 140 degrees when heated to high temperatures generated by acrylamide substances, as well as protein焦糊heterocyclic amines generated, as well as the high temperature generated by fat Benzopyrene category. Fortunately, sweet potato little fat, protein and few, normal baking temperatures are not dangerous. In theory, using oven or infrared oven, set temperature and time are the most烤红薯safety. However, this relatively high cost to do not easy On the way grilled. Many people use charcoal indirect baking, as long as the sweet potato is not direct contact with open flame, is also acceptable.

2 someone put chemical barrels into sweet potato barbecue pits, so that by baking sweet potato such as being fit for human consumption, what harm it?

drum circle烤红薯whether harmful depends on its previous best of what is material, not to generalize. Such as this original release barrels of alcohol, put oil, then there is nothing to fear. If it previously used to put gasoline, although the consumption of gasoline in itself should not, but after several times of heating will be completely volatile. Clean after volatile, it is no longer harmful substances. Know that we want to eat the soybean oil is to use light gasoline as solvent extraction, removal of solvent, the residue in line with national standards, so do not eat according to our error. Unless it is dressed up a non-volatile toxic substances, but also just with air shortly before obvious hazards.

We certainly hope that the processing烤红薯who can clean house, the use of infrared ovens, electric ovens to烤红薯. In fact, now there is this kind of workshop is indeed the emergence of commitment to give people a clean and safe production烤红薯, this will be its direction of development. However, we do not have to put a round drum of baked sweet potato as a poison used a barrel to a big fuss over this.烤红薯cling to their grasp, it is better to fight against what Char-grilled lamb string. Things that really are very unsafe, carcinogenic substances must be exceeded, but also a large amount of carcinogenic smoke. And open-air barbecue has been prohibited by the health sector, but a lot of people would love that one, for them to join.

3 some of whom will use the storage for a longer period of sweet potato, sweet potato grounds that such water has been a part of air-dry, sweet potato will be sweet and delicious. I would like to ask, so baked sweet potato nutritional value out whether there is damage?

such烤红薯sound. Vegetables and sweet potato was not as intolerant things storage, storage over the winter it is very normal thing. Eat sweet potato winter we were young. A lot of tubers, fruits, vegetables, etc. This has the basic characteristics, that is, after winter's cold storage of raw materials of sugar will rise (this is the plant antifreeze improve instinct of a biochemical changes), just before eating国光苹果People keep to favorite during the Chinese New Year is off because冬储sweet apple comparison.

In short, the depositors can be assured that eating half a year of sweet potato, the surface that do not affect on the nutritional value, not moldy on the line. Health after dark moldy sweet potato can produce a toxin that must not to eat. Frostbite after the sweet potato will become soft and perishable, do not eat.

4烤红薯epidermis was often visible part of charred烤糊even whether it will contain harmful substances?

If it is brown黏黏things, basically Do not worry. This is "caramel reaction" result. That is, to eat yam Roberts, Roberts potatoes, ice and other food糖葫芦time and found that sugar has become a bit of yellow hair that chemical changes. (Caramel reaction Maillard reaction not the same as the US-oh. Sugars are high fever it happened under the separate responses to amino-containing material does not require participation. Maillard reaction are necessary amino participation.)

sweet potato sugar inside was concentrated under high temperature, heating to 140 degrees when the reaction happened caramel, with the temperature gradually become darker in color, and finally black carbonation, but non-toxic. This process will produce an attractive sweet flavor, it is very popular烤红薯one of the reasons why. If the epidermis is not browning, aroma inadequate, I am afraid it would not be tempted so many people had.

Of course, in the caramel severe reaction happened at the same time, sweet potato which contains a small amount of protein will焦糊together, the occurrence of Maillard reaction, producing acrylamide. But do not worry too much, because the protein content of sweet potato is very low, unlike when deep-fried potatoes, as have more acrylamide, also unlike animal foods as barbecue when a large amount of heterocyclic amines, eating too much time to remove some black can.

5 sweet potato such foods, the manner in which processing, can be compared well to retain its nutritional value?

sweet potato, fresh steamed and grilled food are good, can also煮粥. Sweet potato starch can be not only a food, it is rich in vitamin C, Red sweet potatoes have a lot of carotene. It is gratifying to note, sweet potato starch will be contained in the protection of one of the vitamins, such as cooking and baking heat losses are small.

烤红薯is actually a reasonable processing method, which is neither the introduction of grease, do not add sugar, are a natural low-fat high-fiber foods can also retain their the original features will help prevent colorectal cancer. Contains one of many potassium, have a considerable amount of vitamin C (equivalent to the level of radish), have good eye-carotene, as well as to enhance immunity mucin and a large number of soft dietary fiber .... .. children were used to replace烤红薯cake cookies cookies to send such, it is too healthy a snack selection!

In short, I am firmly opposed to demonizing烤红薯. Some people Emily, what should be put as toxic and harmful, it is able to attract eyeballs earn money, but will cause people to panic, which could benefit from the many victims of less food. Not only do we need to know what the food which has harmful substances, but also want to know what food to have our benefits. This way can we understand what we are eating, what are we away from the.

I can responsibly say that in this world, do not contain harmful substances and pollution of the food substances are non-existent. Put all their food is treated as a poison, it is better to select one of the body has to help the species, according to a reasonable number and proportion to eat as much as possible get their health benefits, it is equivalent to reducing the impact of harmful substances.

easy home produced - sweet烤红薯:

1 sweet potato washed, microwave high-fire heating 5 -- 6 minutes, so as to keep the internal heat through. And into the oven, 140 degrees bake 20 minutes, then 100 degrees bake 20 minutes off the heat in the oven after cooling to room temperature can be natural.

2 sweet potatoes washed and cut into thick slices put lunch boxes in the microwave oven, microwave high-fire heat 5 minutes; then check Hiranabe bottom put some oil, tiled entry preheater-off sweet potato chip, covered with lid, stew baked low heat 10 minutes, turned face, and then bake 8 minutes. Attention to fire less frequently observed at the end to avoid paste.

"Toxic food Guinness" major fallacy-healthy recipes and snacks

milk powder incident, someone had put down all the "toxic food," said General together, into a "toxic food Guinness" at the Internet everywhere spread. After I have read that one of the references and a lot of our country laws and regulations, scientific theories and historical facts contrary, there is misleading. Here on the common misconception about the readers, do something easy to explain.

1 intentionally or unintentionally put "food coloring" and "industrial pigment" confused.

in fact, both are two concepts completely. National licensing qualified health inspection as long as the pigment, and dose, the scope of use, you can legally added to food products. Non-food coloring are absolutely should not add food products, and add that is illegal.

For example, sunset yellow, carmine, and caramel are permitted to use our country's food coloring, the majority of countries are used. For example, the color of cola is brought about substantial caramel; Endure糖葫芦make the color of sugar is naturally occurring caramel brought. Even though it might be better to eat more pigment, but there is no evidence to put the food coloring test qualified as toxic substances. Think there is a legend of Caramel toxic, contain lead arsenic mercury, it is said that the production technology used behind the failure of caramel products, does not mean that all the caramel product.

Sudan is different non-food coloring, like painted walls, draw with the dye, it is absolutely can not be used in food.

2 have the material itself must have toxicity, but the country as long as permission to use, broken down in the processing, food residue passes can still be legally used. Such as nitrite.

nitrite in meat products are all over the world of hair color to add agents and preservatives. It is toxic, superscalar add harmful, but can not be said to add its food is toxic food. Europe and the United States has so far produced ham sausage still want gaia nitrate, residual standard not lower than in our country. This is because, nitrite plays an irreplaceable role, for inhibiting Clostridium botulinum, for improving the flavor and color help. If you add a reasonable process, the vast majority of nitrite as a nitric oxide decomposition, the actual residues rarely. Are the most terrible disorder add, add.

3 some a small amount of additives used for the majority of people-friendly, but also for sensory quality of food is more important, the production process difficult to replace.

of sulfites The same is true of all countries in the world to use it as anti-browning agent. If you eat french fries without sulfite treatment, to make white or pale yellow color of French fries are unimaginable. If you drink imported wines, which are 100% add the sulfur dioxide, play a role in anti-corrosion. Without the add, can only result in decreased product quality. Civil fumigation with sulfur bleaching, and sulfite treatment rationale is just the same. Is often caused by sulfur dioxide fumigation seriously overweight, and residues of sulfite is more easily controlled.

people are not afraid of bleach sulfite, but吊白块(sub formaldehyde sodium bisulfate). This kind of thing does not belong to food additives, decomposition products of formaldehyde with carcinogenicity, it is absolutely can not be used for food.

4 year cause "大头娃娃" are toxic milk powder milk powder, that is wrong. Low nutritional value of milk for infants and young children are concerned, and toxic to the same terrible!

2004 years to kill a large number of baby's "poison milk powder" which, in fact, what toxins are not only sugar and dextrin too little protein content, resulting in protein infants died of malnutrition. Must remember that people died of malnutrition itself! Even today's melamine milk does not cause kidney stones and less protein will be effective because of the baby's chronic health hazards. What a lot of people said that "better nutrition and not to want security," are without any scientific common sense!

5 now popcorn is no longer the lead, but usually add hydrogenated vegetable oil, it is a grease, rather than food additives, but the health risk can not be ignored.

"poison popcorn," one said, not objective at all. Popcorn lead over the past many, because with the kind of small converter, small converter furnace in the lead, at high temperatures when there is heating up and evaporation of lead pollution popcorn. Is now widely used stainless steel pot, or microwave popcorn, there is no question of lead, not to mention toxic. Our child to eat popcorn than it is now also unsafe, so everyone does not come to eat? At that time no one questioned eat very incense.

now I dare not eat the popcorn, because there are often many add hydrogenated vegetable oil, fragrance also many people have to choke. Hydrogenated vegetable oils that allow popcorn more delicious ingredients, it is not additive, although not toxic, but extremely harmful to the heart!

6 several Ten years ago the egg contain substantial lead, but rarely now. "traditional crafts" is not necessarily more secure.

"poison egg" is actually the egg from the snacks! Over the past several hundred years of traditional crafts are used Huangdan powder (lead oxide) to produce egg. To do so by the egg, eating it will cause a day of lead intake exceeding, in the past that the U.S. is not afraid of none, I remember that a child has been very favorite of the egg. Now, after scientific research, has been fully replaced by iodine and other trace elements iron zinc lead the production of egg substitute, greatly enhanced security. Now how can we put the egg instead of the word "poison" to them?

7 foul tofu and a variety of fermented food, as long as the products produced with the scientific process, check that the safety and nutritional value is also high. How can not the word "poison" to them?

tofu is a very high nutritional value of food, processing in accordance with the National Science and Technology, its high content of vitamin B group, easily absorbed protein , also contains usually not vegetarian vitamin B12. Can not because there is a very small number of people with stinky tofu swill manufacturers, they一棍子打死such foods. If you buy this kind of stinky tofu, should first think about their own way to buy what is the formal product manufacturers? If any unlicensed stalls of fried tofu敢吃of all, I am afraid we do not really care about food safety are the people.

8 barbecue carcinogens in foods, this is a matter of common sense. However favorite barbecue is still very many people, why do not be afraid of fear of a barbecue food like milk does? It appears that this is a weakness of human nature.

fish barbecue food is indeed a general category containing carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzopyrene, as well as heterocyclic amines, such as overheating caused by protein carcinogens. However, around the barbecue is very popular shop, roadside lamb kebab is also booming. Are American people not to eat meat? Are residents of the northwest since ancient times not to eat lamb kebab? In fact, we can see people are not afraid of carcinogens.

Why? Since barbecues are happy to eat their own, people can accept the risk of their own choice, at least to these dangerous equanimity and restraint. Really love to eat things such as barbecue, whether it is fat or high cholesterol, or carcinogens exist or can not become a reason for not eating. Not so favorite things, such as milk, a little dangerous to just have a little drink. That is human nature ah!

postscript:

the founding of our country nearly 60 years, do not know how much had happened since food safety case. Just past the media developed, information is not free, people do not know, or because of poverty, the question of what security do not care. In a few decades ago, food production technology Low, relevant laws and regulations do not sound far less administrative measures to improve a patient's treatment and compensation enough for the product safety control with the current situation can not be compared. As the lives of Chinese people live, and now must be able to live better. The parties have attached great importance, there is the media and network supervision, China's food safety level would be rising. Expressing their anger at what someone said of the Chinese nation, such as suicidal over it, there is are unable to agree!

as a science or popular science workers, even on the health of the network are writers, it should be for residents to know how to live a healthy lifestyle, how complex environment to find food they eat, rather than set out a number of case to frighten them and allow them to more panic, nothing敢吃, and finally result in nutritional imbalance, the results are even more harm to people's health.

have physical and mental health of the nationals of the country can become prosperous and strong foundation. There is scientific and rational people, the state only healthy development. Better at the dawn of the National Day, let us, together with scientific attitudes and the spirit of being responsible for the promotion of the health of all people to strive.

(want to know after someone saw abuse, but also to write scolded. because in truth there, looking at the facts have been distorted to follow the trend did not say common sense would think that conscience disturbed. hawkers who will give me popcorn what? those who make small egg plant and there is my constituency? mentioned above will give me the benefits of the kinds of products? If in doubt, go visit it.)

"Milk door" to the principle of time of food-healthy recipes and snacks

afternoon and a professor at the supermarket to go together, they invariably came to a halt in the milk counter.

estimated melamine milk add a few, if the original base POLLUTION milk, then a variety of products could not be spared. This time, the Chinese dairy industry has been hard hit, however. Professor sigh.

yes ah. People will not be so careful to distinguish good and bad. Yes fix heed, good products will also suffer together. Case like Sudan, the number of innocent duck, and even eggs, have been implicated in a few months no one is interested. - you also buy milk吗? I asked.

course. She said. On our shelves at the most expensive to remove a boxed pasteurized milk. 500 grams to 6 yuan more than the kind of money. This is my first choice of products, as well as her favorite.

Products are good to drink out of, I said. In fact, I drink a lot of good milk than this. Unfortunately, they are hardly a foothold in the market. Since most people do not come out to drink. They will not detail to savor the taste of milk, milk is just a mission. Choice of the time, the ads only know that look, look价签.

However, I have always been the principle that all ads are the most fierce and do not buy the product. There are three reasons:

1 I do not wish for it to pay high advertising costs. You pay for whatever you want to know, 100 million on advertising costs, if not brought about a marked increase in product prices, then I am afraid there is only two sources: First, the quality of products decreased以次充好or adulteration; two are cruel exploitation of workers and farmers. Both cause tooth!

2 the most intensive product ads certainly are highly profitable enterprises, products, and can not be good value for money products.

3 ads can bring about a rapid increase in sales, but the quality of raw materials and production quality is very likely it would be difficult to guarantee. Want to know the raw material base of agricultural products can be built instead of a few months, at least two to three years. Milk is the same building into a huge base of high-quality milk collection, and results slow, much less litter to buy some milk and then use the additive made from "quality" product label sold more quickly. Who let the things people do not know how bad?

so, I bought the basic principles of food are as follows:

1 not to buy ads intensive long-term delivery of food. To buy those brands have set up a long time, not too many ads but has a good brand reputation. (This is the year of the United States watch a guide book of life to the study.)

2 regular price promotions do not buy food. Different day-to-day food and Electric, and its cost is fixed, profits thin, it is difficult to significantly reduced. If you often engage in a price war, it is doubtful whether it can guarantee product quality. If it is too quick because shelf-life or not new and lower prices, and its safety and nutritional value has been scaled down, more is not worth to buy.

3 if it is difficult to determine the quality of difference, as far as possible to buy locally produced products. Local brands want serious locals are more difficult to deceive, and they more or less would be to stir up grievances psychological. At the same time, local products to reduce transport and storage aspect, do not invest in CCTV advertising, product costs are slightly lower and at better value for money under the same price.

4 as far as possible to buy the freshest products, as far as possible to buy a comparatively short shelf-life products. The longer shelf-life, then the loss of nutrients more likely to increase, and add oil, sugar, salt, preservatives, such as the greater the likelihood components. Not the nutritional value of fresh products to reduce food safety risks. ,

5 as far as possible to buy the most pure, natural form of products, to buy fewer raw materials to add a variety of products, as far as possible do not buy highly processed food. Pure products, natural form of adulterated products will improve the difficulty of mixed products are much easier. For example, the pure milk of counterfeiting more difficult than milk and milk powder is higher (even though now also possible adulteration, but the content is relatively low, and other products I am afraid Synchronized more impurities more).

6 to learn how to compare products, taste, texture, aroma and other differences, to improve their sensitivity. What is a natural fragrance, what is the essence of the aroma, are able to distinguish from. Are sticky or silky texture is too soft or moderate, if often compared, but also improve the ability to identify. If the normal light diet, eating slowly, it will more than those who eat too fast, the囫囵吞枣people can find more good products.

7 food diversification, not to stare at some of that good to eat special food gorging. Dairy nutrition, though good, a cup of enough, no need to drink several cups a day. Of any product may have pollution, but they are not the same as pollution, low content of the human body are still capable of detoxification detoxification. The most important thing is not to allow a large number of pollutants accumulated in the body. At the same time, the harm caused by malnutrition itself as great and pollution. Shall not be kidney stones, heart disease is even more pleasant was it? Well be able to control their own place, must live clearance.

postscript:

related to cow adulterated milk thing, After much deliberation, the three main questions to be addressed.

First, food prices and questions, questions of industrial and agricultural products scissors.

milk at prices a long time our country is not as good as mineral water! Now that is a little expensive than mineral water selling points, but the price of drinks but sweet! Beijing 1.40 milk 250 grams, 500 grams to 2.80 yuan. How much is a Coke? How much is a bottle of green tea beverages? But those things can cost how much? Heard cola company's employees said that Coke's water and ingredients which will be worth only a dime.

Milk is such a low-profit industries, domestic and foreign markets in general milk price rise of raw materials, water and electricity costs rising, not prices, or just fine-tuning, the final results will be what is it? CPI control is important, but it probably should not run the risk of sacrificing the health of the consumer price of food regulation.

rural market milk prices were too high and the farmers can not afford, it should be by the State to subsidize the enterprise, or in some way to subsidize farmers. But must not be allowed to lower than the price of product cost to sell poor-quality milk.

me think of Lanzhou Municipal Government have been allowed to price things beef noodles. Doubled the price of beef, then the restaurant owner how to do? I am afraid only put half a bowl of beef cut into薄厚to buy. However, if someone to check the thickness of the beef it? I really do not know what happens behind the will. It may well be that will put someone invented beef increased to double the size of the method, just like today's meat products containing meat which dropped the same.

simultaneously, it is necessary to permit agricultural products at a longer period of time appropriate prices, it gradually and international practice. If the CPI a few years ago when a very low to do this matter as soon as possible, residents will not have a lot to reflect, would not have today's embarrassing situation.

are two consumer quality problem.

the majority of consumers of food knowledge is very limited, it is difficult to distinguish food quality is good or bad. Very often, it is the wrong consumer preferences and purchase the wrong tendency to put those high-quality natural products can not survive pushed position. Those bleach stain add pigment Flavor hydrogenated vegetable oil products, because consumers are the popular favorite. My favorite, a high-quality yogurt, too little on the ads because the price will always be high out of the Beijing market. I think those of poor quality products, but all to flourish, but very.

In theory, product quality should not be borne by consumers, consumers did not need to be experts Detect. However, at the time of this monitoring unreliable, consumers would have to improve their own qualities. Today, consumers are not missing a lot of money to buy food, but do not have the correct knowledge of consumer attitudes and consumption.管不住above, it depends on the market to manage. Food quality for consumers of education, know how to select quality products, improve product quality are an important measure.

are three reporting system through implementation of effective control of adulteration problem.

The comprehensive determination found that the quality of milk long-standing question, and even the industry has become the unspoken rules, why does no one know? Since no one to report, there is no access to things internal. Some large enterprises may be the local government protection, possible to get industry experts, and even to some extent possible to get the media on ......

a lot of experts mentioned that the product traceability system should be able to know that drinking milk which are derived from milk stations, which even cattle. This is a very good security system, but not enough completely. I have been encouraged, with prizes to pursue a reporting system is directly managed by the central agency to receive reports from local governments to ensure that intervention. To effectively protect the safety of informants and at the same time these reports were重奖. For the investigation of the problem, it is necessary to mercilessly governance. This measure, if done well, than many test items to set up much faster, much more effective.

If these fundamental problems are not resolved, there is no guarantee of food safety. Melamine found today, and tomorrow will have new tricks put into use. Nitrogen compounds in the world tens of thousands of institutions rely on detection of a compound of a compound to troubleshoot, how to be able to know in advance what ingredients it contains? How taxpayers can afford the cost as high Detected?

Vegetables from the response of nitrite-healthy recipes and snacks

many experts warn, vegetables of nitrite is likely to be more dangerous than a pesticide ingredient. Because of excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer, the nitrate content of vegetables in the regular high into nitrite, the possible decomposition products and protein synthesis of N-nitrosamines, such as gastric cancer induced to become a hidden danger. Survey found that in our country about 80% of dietary nitrite from vegetables.

However, how can we stay away from vegetables nitrite it? Take a look at the following findings of these studies Bar.

after a lot of people buy vegetables for fear of its surface pesticides, like on the water or salt water immersion for 20 minutes about half an hour. This method is really conducive to food security?

an up-to-date domestic research has explained to us the answer: and rinsing of vegetables compared to the bubble will increase vegetables vegetables nitrite, to the detriment of food security. I am a graduate school study found that salt water does not bubble than add detergent then rinse with tap water to remove pesticides better.

Studies have shown that washed with detergent, then rinse clean, vegetables in the nitrite content is lower than with 20 minutes of water immersion Samples. Study that are possible because water is an anaerobic status is conducive to enhance the activity of nitrate reductase to reduce the nitrite reductase activity, thereby enhancing the nitrite content in vegetables. A long period of immersion can also damage the leaves, increased nutrient losses.

just picked fresh vegetables, the nitrite content negligible. And vegetables stored at room temperature for 1-3 days, one of the nitrite peak; refrigerated conditions ,3-5 days, reached the climax. For spinach, cabbage and other green leafy vegetables, the amount of nitrite produced particularly large, the effect of the refrigerator storage is much better than the room temperature storage, and for cucumber and potato, the differences are not so obvious. Changes in frozen storage is very small, all kinds of vegetables, not much difference.

so that if they do not buy green leafy vegetables to eat immediately, but released 23 days to eat, one of the nitrite is likely to increase, especially green leafy vegetables. However, for long-term storage of Chinese cabbage, the day after the storage of many, one of the nitrate and nitrite content decrease, it may be because the nutritional depletion of the storage process and converted into other nitrogen-containing compounds reasons. Therefore, do not have to worry冬储cabbage nitrite problem.

salad vegetables, the garlic and add lemon juice will help to improve security, because garlic can reduce nitrite content, and garlic juice of organic sulfides, lemon juice vitamin C and other reducing substances can block the synthesis of nitrite carcinogenic nitrosamines. Similarly, pickled vegetables, the Add onion, ginger, garlic, hot pepper sauce are beneficial to reduce nitrite levels.

Soil eggs and hormones: A letter from a reader-healthy recipes and snacks

letter

Dr. Fan:

of Guangzhou Information Times recently published in the "Real eggs more nutritious soil吗? "One text, one of you at an interview with reporters and commented: egg farm soil texture may be better, nutrition is not abundant than ordinary eggs, as well as it might bring about some health and hygiene problem. http://news.xinhuanet.com/food/2008-08/14/content_9287605.htm

I read your comments, it is my association are so rich, in particular, in rural areas are home thing. My uncle in his government work, go home this year, my New Year visit him, he was to collect soil at egg, aim is to give leadership gifts. He told me that low-income professionals to buy farm eggs, eggs Leaders eat soil.

yes, I found an egg tasty home soil, there is no smell, and their chicks grow up watching or eggs, chicken, what to eat fully transparent. However, I heard that chicken are fed with hormones and additives, in order to yield the original half a year before they grew up two chickens are laying the month. Hebei Red duck story on our side, anything to me to worry about chicken farm.

have pork will also do so. My childhood, the meat a good flavor, an older 200 catties Pig 2, boiled in water for a long time is not bad for a long time. Now the point of death, pork smells bad, 3 months on the slaughter, large-scale use of hormones. I think the human body must harmful.

me in Shenzhen, the mother before the New Year for me, such as the accumulation of eggs in my home. I do not eat at the outside of eggs and meat, and vegetarian like. People at the end of the food chain, the accumulation of harmful substances are the most serious.

hope you explain me the story of eggs and pork, I feel that 8-year-old girl to menstruation, is a very horrible thing. The growth of the human body has its own laws, not contrary.

reply:

this gentleman:

First of all, I never give the Guangzhou Information Times wrote the manuscript, or to be interviewed. They are from my blog picked up the article, there is no notice of me in any form, so I can not be responsible for validation of this manuscript.

me tell you, why write this blog article. Since the city are a lot of people going on tours and at all times at the local likes to buy a large number of eggs to take home soil. However, these eggs may not be assured that the eggs are real, but probably because the collection of a long time without fresh.

you talking about eggs and I said the situation is entirely different. Relatives of your own chickens, collecting eggs give you, and give themselves and their friends and relatives to eat eggs is definitely will not release any drugs and hormones.

However, if the farmers rely on a large number of territories sold eggs tourists to earn money, the situation is completely different, and this is fraud. Are sold now that people do not know, a thing of the past of the people, nothing is impossible. Professor of animal husbandry I have heard that some farm households keeping hormones and drugs will be released to produce meat, farm more than a lack of norms. Farmers because they are dedicated to those who do not eat meat or eggs for sale.

trust you will understand these situations. Therefore, I would like to sound urban soil not to blindly believe in eggs, a large number of purchase may not properly go home. You might not pay attention to the details reported, when the Red duck is not created by the large-scale farms, but one made a养鸭户out.

I do not think your loved ones homeland insecurity will give you to eat eggs or meat. So you can rest assured.

In addition, I would like to tell you whether the precocious whether longevity lies not only in feeding meat and eggs and more lies in the General lifestyle and diet, including our environmental quality. You certainly have a good education, environmental estrogens have heard of the term right, but also know that fat tissue produces estrogen itself bar. You say yes, we are in the food chain of the end of every day would also like to contact many chemically synthesized substances. Substantial meat substantial way of life to eat the oil itself, is caused by precocious important reasons, the accumulation of pollutants is also an important reason. Three of them African-American girls have a 9-year-old development, my reason to want to not only ate the egg farms.

my relatives also have the countryside, they always eat their own eggs and meat production. However, after the rich, the longevity in a lot of people over 50 years of age on stroke and heart disease because passed away. How are we going to do to reflect on their own way of life? Can be simply added to the artificial hormone because吗?

Thank you for sharing with me your ideas. I wish summer-an!

Stupid eggs may not be the best egg-healthy recipes and snacks

; Friend tourist has returned with a box with two free-range egg farm, which is the so-called "stupid egg", "soil eggs" or "Chai egg," give me my送了一. Now a lot of people think that this stupid egg tasty, nutrition, and the city are not eating. Once so go to the tourist destination, like a large number of buy to sell eggs to local farmers, has brought back slowly to eat.

let my husband from the car trunk to put out an egg, then please come upstairs. But not inside, the husband heard the call - ah好臭eggs! You quickly see how much still has to eat, the right treatment as soon as possible!

So, I spent more than 1 hours to deal with the cartons of eggs. In fact, only a few eggs broken, but the shell itself is very dirty, together with the villain's pollution, have had to put each egg wash again. First look to open some eggs, some already in scattered yellow or semi-casual status of yellow, some still relatively fresh.

In fact, think about this situation is not strange. Farmers and farms is different from the limited number of chickens, chicken eggs are also low frequency. To save the eggs in one box, with a total 10 days and a half months to collect. Moreover, farmers will almost put into the refrigerator eggs are stored at room temperature, even if it is now such a high temperatures. Therefore, stupid to the freshness of eggs, there will be great differences in one basket, some very rare, some are scattered yellow or even worse. This kind of thing is not the first time I have encountered.

from the health point of view, stupid egg also has two aspects of trouble.

are a more serious bacterial contamination, eggshell on a variety of dirty things, if not carefully cleaned, it is easy to contaminated kitchen console, container, water and hands to bring food hygiene problems. Took after the eggs should be carefully hand-washing is, the place bump eggshell should also be scrubbed clean.

are two agrochemicals pollution risks. Some free-range chicken at Freedom housing in the front yard to take a walk, stroll in the fields, often have access to pesticides, fertilizer, poison, pesticides and other chemicals, dangerous or even higher than the possible places of production of chicken eggs. Now that in the villages, the chicken thing was a common occurrence of pesticide poisoning, then the eggs were dangerous pesticide-contaminated natural can not be overlooked.

In contrast, the number of certified green food or organic food free-range eggs are more reassuring. These eggs are not kept in cages inside the next, and its regional activity safer, eggshell often after treatment, hygiene conditions are reassuring. At the same time, the brand of eggs produced in the date, there is beneficial to know the freshness of eggs.

another, more worrying problem is that these eggs, the real identity problem. Chicken farmers from food, not too much quantity and quality are the basic can be guaranteed. However, if sold to tourists in order to eat, many of them dependent? Quality will be more difficult to control. If there is a large number of tourists into a box to buy it? I am afraid that farmers can not keep up the egg production will be the extent necessary. Well, there are two possibilities, or are some of the village has a large number of farms to supply, or even from outside the stall into the skin color than miscellaneous eggs, then eggs for local farmers to sell at high prices.

consumer confidence stupid eggs, because I believe farmers are eating their own eggs are safe. If these eggs were originally prepared for outside sales, then they chicken eggs and there will not be essentially different. Even, because eggs, unlike those of large farms as by monitoring, security protection Nothing more.

Sudan then duck, it is peasant farming household products. They know, these duck eggs are sold out, so they would accept eating "red medicine" approach, while they themselves eat duck eggs, are not of such special treatment. In this matter we can see that farmers are dependent of the eggs, does not mean that the absolute security; farmers are ready to eat their own eggs, can really guarantee the quality.

If consumers want at the outskirts of the rural tourism or buy stupid eggs, proposals comply with the following principles:

1 buy fewer short-term eating. If the increase in the purchase of, the best to the friends and relatives to eat as soon as possible to avoid the eggs continue to go home after久存, yellow and even casual happen the situation degenerating.

2 Choose a good natural environment, traffic flow is not, the residents buy health and longevity of the place of eggs. Because people like chicken and also because of air pollution or water pollution and absorb harmful substances, and stay in the egg yolk. Not as long as the eggs are produced in rural areas have less pollution.

3 choose not to farm-based industry, the chicken will not be everywhere at the fields of activity places buy eggs. Now add all the fields because of herbicides and pesticides, seeds often have to deal with after one of coating also contain pesticides. If the chickens ate these things are very safe.

4 Finally, that is taken care to buy fake eggs in the farm. Shell color, the color of egg yolk, it can not be judged by the standard. Few eggs at home, nor the box of the farm, are more likely to give people really eat free-range farm eggs.

In fact, buy the brand free-range eggs is also a very good selection, at food safety feel more at ease. Attention is required, but also must pay attention to its freshness, not to put a twenty or thirty days to buy eggs.

stupid egg and the general nutritional difference between eggs:

study animal husbandry, according to research materials and food measured data, free-range eggs and chicken eggs with ratio, protein and fat content difference, vitamin AD content is slightly lower, omega-3 fatty acid ratio is slightly higher than the rich flavor. As for the color of egg yolk, then the relevant raw materials and feed, and farming methods that had nothing to do. For example, in animal feed to increase leaf vegetables, algae, corn and other non-ferrous raw materials, or deliberately fed some carotenoid substances, while egg yolk naturally become darker in color. Therefore, the nutritional value from the point of view, the important question is what ate the chicken, the chicken's life is health, whether there is environmental pollution problem. Whether farm raised eggs, stupid, not so important.

how to pick fresh eggs:

First of all, pick up the egg, the feeling you feel. The same size, I feel relatively heavier eggs are fresh. Add 10% or saline which will look at the semi-float, Shenyang in the following are relatively fresh eggs. With one hand shake, could not shake a sense is a relatively fresh eggs.

cooked, the fresh egg is not easy to decorticating, rather than fresh eggs eggshell easy separation. Gently tap a few eggs, eggshells and eggs do not keep separate the eggs are fresh and immediately fell 1, or should not keep the eggs are not fresh. After decorticating can peel out of the three proteins are fresh eggs, only a layer of fresh eggs are not enough. Cut eggs, the yolk is at Central are fresh eggs, deviate from the farther, the more stale.

If you want to buy a large number of eggs, be able to randomly pick the best look at the two open. title map photos of the eggs is not the freshest of eggs. Fresh egg yolk can see a long tether, which can only see a small regiment of white mist substances; fresh eggs to see the three-tier thin thick egg white, where only the two-tier; fresh eggs spread out is circular, and the most outer layer of the egg white has spread to become irregular. However, by our day-to-day to buy eggs, so have been pretty good! Because of its egg at least proud to drum up a ......

(Note: the above mentioned characters are urban people traveling abroad buy a large number of eggs when the stupid problem that may exist. their relatives at their country house in the farming, not a small amount of egg sales, specifically for self-eating situation, not at this column.)
