According to the Beijing Times, ancient brown sugar has recently become popular in the circle of friends and on the Internet. According to the investigation by the reporter of Jinghua Times, in addition to the ancient brown sugar in the circle of friends, there are many brands of ancient brown sugar on the market, all of which claim that their raw materials are good, cooked by ancient methods and without additives.
Many sellers said in the product introduction that "a cup of ancient brown sugar water every day can improve eight groups of people": people with palace cold can improve their physique and stay away from palace cold dysmenorrhea; People with deficiency-cold constitution can provide heat for the body and improve their constitution; Abortion people can avoid uterine damage by drinking it; Drinking it by postpartum people can prevent the root cause from falling down later;

Some sellers claim that their handmade brown sugar can "relieve pain, warm the palace and replenish qi and blood".
Ruan, an expert from the Food and Nutrition Information Exchange Center, pointed out that people have always attached great importance to brown sugar. Many people think that brown sugar is more nutritious than white sugar and has many health-care effects. But in fact, the main nutrients of brown sugar and white sugar are almost the same. The main component of white sugar is sucrose, the sugar content of white sugar is 99.9%, and the sugar content of soft sugar is 98.9%. The main component of brown sugar is sucrose, but it also contains a small amount of fructose and glucose, with a total sugar content of 96.6%.

20 15 1 15 October? "Inheriting the Millennium, the ancient cooking method, zero chemistry and zero addition", recently, an ancient brown sugar from Yunnan became popular on the Internet and in the circle of WeChat friends, attracting countless women who love beauty. Although the price of a can of 250g antique brown sugar is as high as that of 88 yuan, this does not stop people from placing orders.
People buy it because it is said that it really works. Some people say that after drinking this brown sugar, his face became better, his whole face was radiant and his dysmenorrhea disappeared. Even, a woman who has been infertile for many years said that she only drank for a month, and her qi and blood improved greatly, and finally she became pregnant with a baby.
Is brown sugar really that magical? Recently, some consumers took this brown sugar to test, and the results were surprising.
The efficacy of ancient brown sugar is amazing.
At the beginning of last month, the citizen Miss Xu saw someone selling an ancient brown sugar called "Sugar Girl" in the WeChat circle of friends. It is said that it can regulate qi and blood, detoxify and maintain beauty. With the mentality of giving it a try, Miss Xu spent 176 yuan to buy two cans. Although expensive, Miss Xu thinks that women should love themselves.
Two cans of brown sugar, only about 20 yuan, Miss Xu, one in the morning and one in the evening, are quickly consumed. She was pleasantly surprised to find that her face was much better than before, her skin was delicate and shiny, and she had the effect of nude makeup without makeup. What's more gratifying is that I used to have dysmenorrhea every month, but this time it doesn't hurt. So, she quickly added two more cans and recommended this brown sugar to friends around her.
Some friends questioned that brown sugar is an ordinary food, so it has a role. I'm afraid I added some medicine. Miss Xu retorted that people are ancient crafts and retain a lot of nutrients. Of course it will work. Why don't you believe in the good things handed down by your ancestors?
The two were deadlocked. As soon as Miss Xu is serious, she will take brown sugar for testing. The test surprised her. Four pieces of brown sugar with different tastes were all detected with a large amount of estrogen, and the highest was actually more than 1000 times of the normal value of the human body. "That good Cuba? What about the agreed complementary food? This is not eating sugar, but obviously taking medicine. " Miss Xu Can can't believe it.
The ancient brown sugar was found to contain a lot of estrogen, and the reporter got the test report of Miss Xu.
Four pieces of ancient brown sugar are marked as NO. 1, No.2, No.3, No.4 according to the color of the outer packaging. Six indexes including follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), progesterone (P), prolactin (PRL), estradiol (E2) and testosterone (TT) were detected respectively.
Among the six indicators, except estradiol, the other five detection values are very low. The content of estradiol in 1 brown sugar is 2399.00ng/L, that in No.2 gold-wrapped brown sugar is 91.00 ng/L, and that in No.3 rose red envelope and No.4 red envelope is 534.00ng/L and11L, respectively.
The test report comes from the testing department of a large municipal hospital. The reporter contacted Sun Dinghe, the head of the department. He said that estradiol is an estrogen, and the role of other hormones such as follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone is to promote the body to produce estradiol. "Estradiol is an important hormone to maintain women's secondary sexual characteristics. It will also bring about the improvement of skin condition and the acceleration of metabolism, making women more women. "
Brown sugar contains hundreds of thousands of units of estradiol, is it normal? Sun Dinghe shook his head: "In brown sugar, the hormone content should be minimal. There is only one possibility for such a large dose, which is artificially added. "
He also showed reporters two other test reports. One is a 35-year-old ordinary woman with a blood estradiol content of 67.00 ng/L; The other is a 28-year-old pregnant woman with a blood estradiol content of1012.00 ng/L. "The indicators of pregnant women will be particularly high, and there will be dozens of normal ones."
Sun Dinghe revealed that he cut a small corner from each piece of brown sugar for testing. A piece of brown sugar is 25 grams, and the estimation for detection is less than 1 gram. According to this calculation, among these pieces of ancient brown sugar, the highest estrogen content is more than 1000 times of the normal value of human body, and the lowest is 200-300 times.
Long-term intake of estrogen in large quantities is dangerous;
Question: What are the consequences of long-term consumption of ancient brown sugar? The reporter interviewed relevant experts.
Zhou Hua, the chief pharmacist in the pharmacy department of Lihuili Hospital, said that estrogen, as a strong sex hormone, is used very strictly in clinic, mainly for the following two situations: hormone replacement therapy for menopausal women and hormone supplement therapy for patients with ovarian diseases. In addition, doctors will also use estrogen for a few men with severe acne and some patients with prostate diseases as appropriate.
Normal women's long-term intake of estrogen will cause feedback resistance, that is, under the condition of exogenous supplementation, their estrogen secretion function will gradually deteriorate, and even cause ovarian atrophy.
Long-term intake of estrogen by normal men will lead to feminization of men and sexual dysfunction. Children's use is more harmful: girls will have precocious puberty and boys' breasts will develop, which will affect their physical development.
Contraindications of estrogen also include pregnant women, lactating women, asthma patients, patients with liver and renal insufficiency, patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes, and patients with thrombophlebitis. If these people eat the above-mentioned "ancient brown sugar" every day, the potential risks are incalculable.
Ding Huiqing, the chief physician of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the First Hospital of the City, told the reporter that the parties often have to pay the price for the beauty brought by estrogen, and the worst case is to induce gynecological malignant tumors. In recent years, such cases have also occurred from time to time. Outpatients are more prone to lobular hyperplasia and sudden aggravation of uterine fibroids. When I asked, I started taking the food and health care products that Beauty said some time ago.
The ancient brown sugar bought by Miss Xu has a remarkable effect. What about ordinary brown sugar?
Ye Liqun, director of gynecology department of the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that brown sugar has the functions of beautifying and nourishing the stomach, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, warming and strengthening the body, and eating it often is beneficial to health. Brown sugar mixed with egg white can also make the skin smooth, but it will take at least a few months to see some effects, which is an impossible task for brown sugar.
Jin Kemei, a full-time nutritionist at Lihuili Hospital, said that brown sugar is not as refined as white sugar, so some vitamins and trace elements are retained, but the amount is very small. The main component of brown sugar is carbohydrate. It is unrealistic to supplement nutrition with brown sugar.
Two experts reminded the general public that all short-term effective food and health care products should be questioned. Jin revealed that she only uses and recommends some health products with clear and single ingredients, such as vitamin tablets and deep-sea fish oil. Don't believe or touch some foods and health products with mixed ingredients, unclear or exaggerated effects, especially some so-called "ancient prescriptions", "folk remedies" and "secret recipes".
Many obstetricians and gynecologists do not recommend the use of beauty care products. Ding Huiqing said that only a large amount of estrogen can make women grow against their age and look like peach blossoms. No matter how expensive the health care products are, the main active ingredients are estrogen. Many gynecological diseases in clinic are caused by people's pursuit of youth and beauty.
In the WeChat circle of friends, in addition to the big sale of "ancient brown sugar", various small advertisements for food and health products are also overwhelming. What if consumers have doubts about buying similar products?
The reporter consulted Liu Baohua, a staff member of the Food Circulation Department of the Municipal Market Supervision Administration. She said that in theory, consumers can keep relevant transaction evidence and call 1233 1, 123 15 for complaints, reports and rights protection. However, in practice, it is difficult for relevant departments to conduct follow-up investigation and evidence collection. Because the country has no relevant laws to restrict the business behavior of WeChat merchants and micro-stores. However, there is no linkage between market supervision and management departments in different regions.
Here, Liu Baohua reminds the general public to be a qualified consumer, buy goods from normal channels, such as physical stores and certified and relatively mature shopping websites, remember to ask for and keep relevant bills, do your homework before buying a certain commodity, don't follow the trend, follow blindly, and don't believe in one-sided or obviously exaggerated propaganda.
