Red Bull and ordinary drinks are the same? Of course not. Recently, media censorship Red Bull, Dongpeng special drink brands such as 7 9 functional beverages, including detection of caffeine, taurine, vitamin B12 and other effects indicators showed Most of the product are more than suitable for vitamin B12 intake, may cause metabolic organ on the human body burden, and in the detection of components with caffeine stimulates the nervous system functions, the special drink caffeine Dongpeng has exceeded Safety recommended amount of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but compared to these, the following sentence is more provocative effect: 'Molecular Dongpeng special drink Red Bull and caffeine and sodium benzoate preservative molar ratio close to 1:1 , it is possible to generate two types of sodium national spirit of controlled drugs safe coffee. '
Incredibly, had wanted sober, do not accidentally suck the poison it? Functional food expert, Professor of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering, China Agricultural University, King-ho to clarify, to generate a controlled drug, is not so simple.
Jing Hao: caffeine and sodium benzoate is a combination of sodium benzoate, to form the conjugates difficult conditions existing general chemical reaction happens according to the literature says it wants synthesized together, the conventional methods. impossible and this mixture is not a simple mixing after crystallization, has a weak covalent bond combination of things, very, very difficult to form.
In fact, it is censorship news, Red Bull Lane while adding caffeine and sodium benzoate thing is old news. Early as 2012, when the State Food and Drug Authority has been questioned for the social, organizational inspection agency for Red Bull 11 sampling batches of products were not found quality and safety problems. sodium benzoate on Red Bull drinks and caffeine contained in two materials simultaneously is hazardous to health, the group studies have demonstrated that these two materials in accordance with the approved Use the amount, in line with relevant state regulations, plus 1 part 1 part caffeine sodium benzoate sodium benzoate is not only the recipe and when these two substances in accordance with the relevant requirements of the national drug standards are made to be called sodium benzoate In response, Red Bull Vitamin Drink Co., did not make a new statement, but said the State Food and Drug Administration in 2012 for the Red Bull test results briefing prevail, while at the time, the general manager of Red Bull Vitamin Drink Co., Ltd. Rui stressed that Red Bull produced according to the law, there is no security risk.
Rui: There are quantity requirements, we are in full compliance with national standards of caffeine and sodium benzoate added .1 to 1 instead of sodium benzoate can form in any environment, in our product testing report, found no sodium Ann coffee this material.
However, the 'security' and 'necessary' can not be equated. High key Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, director of nutrition subsidiary, said functional beverage suitable for physical loss particularly special populations For the general population, especially children under 15 years of age, functional drinks should not be a daily choice.
High key: daily meals, these nutrients are readily available, in addition to three meals a day too much to increase energy, nutrients, sometimes not necessarily good for children, I do not recommend children under 15 years of age to drink functions. beverages, metabolism of various nutrients it still has some limitations. lot of advertising, 'sleepy tired to drink a certain beverage,' I actually felt sleepy and tired, our body sends a signal that we need to rest, relax , this time by function words are refreshing beverage health overdrafts.
Earlier, a 14-year-old American girl because drinking two cans called 'monster' functional drinks lead to cardiac arrest and died. Diagnostic report issued by the hospital showed that the cause of death was cardiac arrhythmia cause caffeine intoxication. Such events are making the security question as a functional beverage manufacturers commonplace. functional beverage is not not drink? professor China Agricultural University Food and Nutrition Institute Jing Hao said that the key problem is that dose.
Jing Hao: functional ingredients have any concept of a volume, eat at a certain dose effect occurred some time before you drink a bottle of light energy drinks, functional drinks containing this amount of functional factor is not equal to the number of functional factors include having.? effect function factor, it needs to achieve the amount of features it has that effect.
