Yuanqi Forest apologized. How much sweetener is in the "sugar-free drink"?

Yuanqi Forest apologized. Although there is no sucrose in the "sugar-free drink", there is some sweetener, namely fructose. Some use artificial sugar substitutes. Whether this artificial sugar substitute is harmful to the human body is still controversial.

Recently, an apology letter from Yuanqi Forest has attracted widespread attention. It is understood that Yuanqi Forest has always advertised that its product is a "sugar-free drink". Yuanqi Forest's product label and promotion of milk tea also states "0 sucrose" and "low fat", and promotes "milk tea to control obesity", but from the ingredient list, this milk tea has added crystallized fructose. This sugar is sweeter than glucose and sucrose, both contain calories, and can also cause health problems such as potential obesity. This kind of promotion of Yuanqi Forest Milk Tea is actually misleading and even deceiving consumers.

Later, Yuanqi Forest issued a letter of apology, and replaced the sweetener in Yuanqi Forest milk tea with artificial sugar substitute erythritol, and the packaging was changed from the original ?0 sucrose? low-fat? to? Low sugar? Low fat?. The advantage of this artificial sugar substitute is that it hardly participates in human metabolism and has very low calories. It can be used by generally diabetic and obese patients and is considered a relatively healthy sweetener.

Currently, the ingredient lists of many so-called "sugar-free drinks" on the market actually contain sweeteners, such as fructose, which are not good for the body. Some more responsible businesses will also use sugar substitute erythritol to increase sweetness. The calories of sugar substitutes are indeed much lower than ordinary drinks. However, there is still controversy in the scientific community as to whether artificial sugar substitutes are beneficial to health. It is recommended that you drink less so-called sugar-free drinks in your daily life. After all, many ordinary people cannot distinguish which ones are sugar and do not know which ones are harmful to the body. Especially for some diabetic or obese patients, they go out of their way to buy some so-called sugar-free drinks, but instead they are fooled by the word games of the merchants. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to screening in this regard.
