Often use your brain and drink X more walnuts.
You must have heard this classic slogan.
However, what Dr. Clove wants to say today is:
You! Again! By! Suddenly! You! Yes!
Walnut brain tonic?
Walnut kernels are used as brain tonic food in China, where shape supplement is popular, because they look like brains.
Modern science has confirmed that the-3 unsaturated fatty acid in walnuts is beneficial to brain health, but this fatty acid is not a walnut patent, and many nuts have it.
For this reason, the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents propose to eat 30-50 grams of soybeans and nuts every day, of which nuts are about a handful.
One walnut kernel is about 5g, which is equivalent to 6 ~ 10 walnuts per day. Perhaps this is the origin of the most famous [six walnuts].
However, there are only 2 walnuts
How many walnuts are hidden in the walnut dew, which can be calculated from the [nutritional composition table] of the product.
Taking a walnut dew as an example, a can of beverage (240 mL) contains 6.7 g of fat.
You should know that the oil content of walnuts is about 60%. If a walnut kernel is 5g, it means that there are about 2 walnuts in a can of beverage.
Considering the stability, taste and price of the product, this calculation is still reliable.
Is X walnuts a lie
The food industry is rich in theme parties. People have never said that a can of products contains X walnuts. It is only the name or brand of a product.
There is no wife in the wife’s cake, and there is no husband and wife in the lung slices of husband and wife. At least there are still some walnuts in the walnut dew.
Is walnut drink nutritious?
If you really think that drinking walnut dew is equivalent to eating walnuts, you think it is too beautiful.
Although it belongs to [vegetable protein beverage], taking a walnut dew as an example, each can contains less than 2g of protein.
However, for the same amount of milk, the protein is at least 7g or more.
Moreover, not only is there not much protein, but also extra sugar is added.
Because walnuts themselves have quite little carbohydrate, [Nutrition Table] carbohydrate is basically added sugar.
Ah, the truth is always so disturbing!
It tastes good and can be mixed out.
Some people think walnut dew tastes very good and must be real.
In fact, this is very simple for food researchers. The core of improving taste is two substances: thickener and emulsifier.
Taking a walnut dew as an example, food additives include:
- Two kinds of emulsifiers: sucrose fatty acid fat, three kinds of thickeners: sodium alginate, sodium hydroxymethyl cellulose and xanthan gum
This is not to say that additives are not good. On the contrary, without additives, many foods cannot be swallowed.
This is just a reminder:
Don’t believe too much in advertising, don’t believe too much in your tongue, buy food, the key is to look at the ingredient list and nutrition list.
Don’t be superstitious [without adding], it is mostly misleading.
Today’s food likes to flaunt itself [without XX], thus implying that other products [contain XX].
In fact, the reason why this product [does not contain XX] is often:
- The law does not allow XX; No need to add XX; Everyone does not add XX,
Therefore, merchants claim that their products [excluding XX] are only a means of marketing and competition.
For example, the following label of walnut dew:
- Do you still need preservatives for a beverage that has been treated at ultra-high temperature and filled aseptically? No need! A white drink, can use what pigment? White! A plant drink, where does cholesterol come from? Plants have no cholesterol!
Walnut dew, do you want to drink it?
Regardless of whether walnuts can really nourish the brain, at least, eating walnuts is better than drinking walnut dew, and eating other nuts is no worse than walnuts.
Eat walnuts/nuts in an appropriate amount, and a small handful every day is good for health.
If it is a friend’s dinner, it is no harm to drink [vegetable protein drink] occasionally. As for the nutritional value, it is better than cola and the like, but it may not be as good as milk and soya-bean milk.
