There are more and more kinds of food, which often dazzles people.
When eating, many people will also wonder: Are these foods healthy? Is there a simple way to distinguish?
There is. One of the dietitians’ tips is: carefully choose foods with the following 4 words.
Food with [flavor]
Papaya moon cakes, milk biscuits, cherry cola…
With a word [flavor], it means that this kind of food may not have this kind of material, but only the flavor mixed with edible spices.
Just like there is no wife in the wife’s cake and no money in the wallet… … …
Take moon cakes for example.
Last year CCTV reported that many fruit-flavored moon cakes on the market are stuffed with wax gourd.

This is because, compared with fruits, wax gourd is not only easy to preserve, but also low in price. Moreover, wax gourd is light in color and taste, and is easy to be processed [camouflaged] into the required stuffing.
You can pay attention to the ingredient list of some fruit-flavored moon cakes. In front of the wax gourd row, the corresponding fruits cannot be found and are replaced by various edible flavors.

See here, do you feel distressed to eat all kinds of fruit moon cakes? Feeling insulted to IQ?
Don’t worry, in fact, this practice by moon cake manufacturers is not illegal.
Because according to the national standard < < moon cake > > (GB/T 19855-2015), only when the amount of fruit and its products in the stuffing is ≥ 25% can it be called fruit moon cake.
However, if it is a [fruit-flavored] moon cake, it only refers to the taste of the food, not the real existence of this material. As long as the edible spices or pigments are used according to regulations, it is harmless to people and meets the relevant standards.
The reason why we should be [cautious] is to remind everyone not to expect eating such food to really absorb the nutrition of certain fruits.
Food with [crisp] characters
Take fruit and vegetable crisps as an example. Many people think that it is not to say that we should eat more fruits and vegetables. It is convenient, delicious and healthy to replace snacks with fruit and vegetable crisps. Wouldn’t it be more effective at one stroke?
However, such crisp fruit and vegetable slices (such as banana slices, crisp jujube, crisp mushroom and dried okra) are often made by vacuum frying. Although vacuum frying is safer than ordinary frying, because of the oil, fat and heat will rub up.
The fat content of freeze-dried or air-dried fruit is usually only about 1%, but the fat content of fruit crisps can be as high as 10% ~ 20%.
Not only are fruit and vegetable crisps, crisp laver rolls, crisp sausage, crisp peanuts, crisp noodles… These foods are actually fragrant and crisp because of oil.
Eating too much fat will increase the risk of obesity. For friends with dyslipidemia or who need to lose weight, don’t eat too much.
Food with [crisp] characters
Pineapple crisp, walnut crisp, peanut crisp, egg crisp… These foods with the word “crisp” are no stranger to everyone.
All kinds of fruits and nuts contained in “crisp” foods sound healthy, but in fact, like foods with “crisp”, they are often high in sugar, oil and calories. Eating too much is not conducive to the control of blood sugar, blood lipid and weight, and is likely to increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Choose a pineapple cake product on the market at will and look at its ingredient list.

According to each 25g, eating two small pieces is equivalent to eating 31.5 g of carbohydrate (equivalent to a big banana), 9 g of fat (equivalent to about half of the fat amount of pork belly), and nearly 218 kilocalories (the calories of a bowl of rice).
Isn’t it a little scary?
Food with [willow] characters
Crab fillet, chicken fillet, pig fillet, beef fillet… These foods may not be real materials.
Crab willow is a crab meat stick, which is generally not made of crab meat, but is imitated by processing minced fish meat.
There has been news exposure that some unscrupulous merchants have used duck meat as [beef fillet]. If you find beef fillet with very low price and tender taste, you should be more vigilant.
However, pork fillet pie, which is commonly used to make hamburger meat, usually adds extra fat and starch in order to achieve better taste.
Chicken itself is a healthy choice, but if it becomes a common fried chicken fillet on the streets and lanes, it will change its nature.
On the one hand, it is wrapped in thick starch; On the other hand, after frying, it will inhale a lot of oil. This bite is not only delicious, but also high in calories.
Finally, these foods are not [healthy], but it does not mean that they must not be eaten. Of course, it is OK to treat your mouth occasionally, but it is not recommended to eat them often and in large quantities.
Not only food, but also fruits have some [pits]. Eating them is easier to gain weight than eating meat, but many people still use them to lose weight.
