When many people mention Australian food, they think of words such as "no added", "pure natural", "organic", "healthy" and so on.
Especially for infants and young children, not only Australian Chinese mothers, but also Chinese mothers in Australia have been able to get Australian friends to help them buy them, hoping to give their children the healthiest and most nutritious food in the hope that they can eat the healthiest and most nutritious food for their children.
But you know, in fact, Australian food is not as healthy as you think!
Eating some baby food is not only bad for your baby's health, but may even be harmful!
1, "crafty" nothing added "
"No add" label, although not sure what it does not add, but it is inexplicable to generate sense of security.
However, this is not the case. Many foods with "no add" names are actually not as healthy as you think!
This lovely, easy-to-carry bag yoghurt has always been a favorite for moms, and it is known as a healthy baby yoghurt that is "natural and non-additive."
But according to a new test released by Choice, an Australian non-profit consumer rights group, these businesses, under the banner of "healthy food," actually sell products containing additives, such as sugar, "according to a new test released by Australia's non-profit consumer rights group, the Australian non-profit consumer rights group.
Many of these add-on products have also scored high scores on health interstellar scores.
When buying this type of snack, keep in mind that no matter how healthy it is written on the packaging, remember that the snack contains some added sugar, Choice said in the study.
Australia's online celebrity yoghurt Rafferty's Garden, package says "nothing else" in addition to fruit, but the ingredients on the list are "slapped" on the face, which clearly says the yogurt ingredients are sweetened.
Sugar is a small thing. There are lots of baby yogurt that says, "No pigment, no condiment," but they may also contain thickeners and acidity regulators.
2, "cunning" calcium "and" probiotics "
Many children's foods attract buyers under the banner of calcium. In fact, the calcium content in yogurt products is mixed-from 93mg to 300mg.
A good "calcium" food should contain no less than 25 percent of the recommended intake of (RDI), Choice said. However, most of the so-called "calcium-containing" products on the market, mostly low calcium and high sugar, can be described as having almost zero effects on growing children by taking calcium from these foods.
The same is true for yogurt with a "live probiotics" label, "thunder and rain." The content of probiotics in children's yoghurt is very small.
As a result, Australian dietitian Lyndi Cohen suggests that while this "sucker" yoghurt is very convenient, it's not as healthy for a baby as it says on the package. Mothers are better off spending more time buying healthy, plain yogurt, honey and fruit for their babies than buying the convenience snack. It's much healthier for mothers to spend more time on healthy, regular yoghurt, and honey and fruit for the baby to eat.
3. The true meaning behind 10 "misleading" food labels
A. "no add sugar (without sugar"
No sugar, honey or syrup, but may still contain high sugar. Such products include fruit juices and nuts, and while no additional sugar or syrup is added, the food itself is high in sugar.
B. "organic" means that not using chemical pesticides has nothing to do with nutrients
When many people see organic food, they feel it is healthy.
absolutely wrong! In fact, the meaning of "organic" only refers to the growth of food raw materials, no chemical pesticides, does not reflect the health of food. For one of the simplest examples, potatoes grown in organic environments can be made into potato chips, the most obesity-causing food. Although "organic" label, but potato chips or the original chips, will not be more nutritious.
C. "no artificial colors (without artificial pigment"
Meaning: there are no synthetic ingredients, but there is no denying the presence of pigments extracted from other foods or ingredients
The word is also very tricky, although it does not contain artificial pigments, but in fact many pigments can be obtained in an unartificial way. Therefore, food labeled with this label does not mean it is colorless, fat and sugar free.
D. "toasted", "crunch", "clusters"
Contains added fat and fat!
Healthy people who want to lose weight see these words and control their hands.
E. "gives you energy (gives you Energy", "high in energy (High Energy"
Meaning: high calories, high kilochars, this food usually also contains a lot of sugar.
"energy" usually means "energy" and "energy" in our understanding, but when it comes to food, it is used to describe calories. So many people will be confused by the food labeled "energy".
F. "made naturally (Natural manufacture", "natural"
What should be noted is that "nature" is not equal to "health"!
"natural" is not a word for health, but it is another magic-it sounds healthy. In fact, the real meaning of "natural" is no chemical synthesis or laboratory composition.
Some chips, for example, call themselves "natural chips", which does not mean they are healthy foods, simply because they are made of potatoes, which are "natural". Thus, as long as the raw materials are natural, no matter how unhealthy the food, can be labeled "natural".
G. "superfoods"
It means: it contains popular ingredients
The most confusing product to the label is the chocolate bar, which doesn't mean it's healthy, though it's labeled "super food" and costs more. The real super food doesn't label itself-all vegetables and fruits.
H. "real ingredients (real material"
It means: no, nonsense, this food label is purely a marketing tool of the manufacturer. In fact, the word has no meaning. The label is just to make the consumer feel that the product is of high quality. In fact, it has nothing to do with health.
I. "creamy"
It means: du! Yes! Fat! Fat!
When you see "creamy" marked with temptation, please "fat" you quickly stay away from this food!
A lot of spaghetti, or even yogurt, says "creamy," which is usually delicious because it's filled with cream or cream.
J. "fresh (fresh)"
Meaning: non-freezing and canned to see the word "fresh", people can not help but associate it with "health", "hygiene" and other words, in fact, it is not. Just to describe that the food is not frozen or canned does not mean it is healthy.
Finally, I hope that when you go to the supermarket to shop, when you see these "confusing" labels in the snack container, you will be able to wake up a little!
