"Laxatives"
I didn't expect it to come true one day! I believe that many friends can't understand what "laxative" means, because laxatives are medicines for treating diarrhea, why have they become a mantra?
In fact, this is the tradition of the Zhihu Q&A area, "laxative" = thank you for the invitation, the early Zhihu Q&A area is also a thank you invitation, but once which big guy made a mistake and was too lazy to modify it has become the biggest terrier of the popular Zhihu.
However, recently there has been an outbreak of collective diarrhea of the big V, and the reason is that the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, the major platforms give back to the big V authors, specially given benefits, of course, Zhihu is no exception, but unfortunately the flower growers do not know it, otherwise they may be able to be a "jet man".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" what exactly is in the mooncake >, which will make everyone collectively diarrhea? </h1>
The flower grower did not receive the mooncake from Zhihu, so he could not taste it in person to tell everyone the curative effect, but the official Zhihu official posted an official Weibo at 19:58 on September 8 to apologize to the majority of "jet men":
We are inexperienced and not well thought out in the procurement process. Our original intention was to buy healthier low-sugar mooncakes from the products provided by our suppliers, ignoring that maltitol used as an alternative to sucrose may cause some people to become intolerant.
For the mooncake issued will be recalled, for the official response is not bad, find the cause, actively remedy, is also a normal operation process, but everyone is curious, what is maltitol? Why does maltitol intolerance occur?
About sugar alcohol, we are most familiar with nothing is xylitol chewing gum, to protect the face of the teeth appear, of course, xylitol does not protect the role of teeth, but chewing gum for muscle exercise, eliminating oral odor and taking away the dirty things attached to the teeth of the mouth, of course, chewing gum will not stick, but with your saliva is eaten, the truth, disgusting no?
The key is the sweetness, because the sugar contains a lot of heat, so the body is prone to fat when consuming too much, but xylitol has a sweet taste, and the calories are only 40% of the sucrose, so the same amount of chewing gum, the calorie intake is significantly reduced.
Xylitol is just one type of sugar alcohol, which is processed from other sugars (monosaccharides or polysaccharides) or starch, and can be prepared by reducing sugars by sodium borohydride, sodium amalgam or Rani nickel catalytically reduced sugars. In the industry, sugar alcohols are prepared by high-pressure catalytic hydrogenation reduction in the presence of nickel or electrolytic reduction in alkaline media.
For example, maltitol is produced by first hydrolyzing starch to obtain maltose. This is followed by the hydrogenation of maltose, in which the aldehyde groups are hydrogenated to form hydroxyl groups. After purification, maltitol syrup is obtained, some maltitol syrup is directly hydrogenated by the hydrolyzed mixture of starch, of which 50-80% maltitol is obtained.
The familiar production of xylitol can extract xylose from birch, corn cobs and leftover sugarcane, and then produce xylitol through a hydrogenation process. There are many types of sugar alcohols, in addition to maltitol and xylitol, there are glucosol, sorbitol, erythritol, lactitol, mannitol, in addition to having a sweet taste, the difference in characteristics is not small!
Xylitol can not be decomposed by bacteria, so chewing gum with xylitol is not easy to cause tooth decay, toothpaste and gum and many foods have been recorded using xylitol, sweetness is comparable to sugar, but the calorie is only 60%, very good choice, and metabolism does not require insulin to directly enter the cells, and the metabolic rate is fast, it will slightly cause blood sugar to rise, so it is also an ideal sweet substitute for diabetics.
But xylitol is not very friendly to dogs, and the absorption in the human intestine is relatively poor, and it is easy to cause accumulation and cause osmotic diarrhea when consumed in large quantities! A similar problem arises with maltitol. Maltitol also tastes cooler, because the dissolution will absorb heat, and it will not be decomposed by bacteria and cause caries, and the calories are relatively low, which looks excellent, but eating a lot will also cause diarrhea.
Maltitol is digested through a slow enzymatic hydrolysis process, but because the absorption efficiency is relatively low, and the speed is also very slow, so the unabsorbed maltitol will produce osmotic effect in the colon and cause diarrhea, but this situation varies from person to person, some people tolerate, some people are intolerant, so the maltitol is "toxic" to people who are intolerant, and it is a good sweetener for waste wood for others.
The benefits of sugar alcohols are obvious, such as providing sweetness, low calories, does not affect the blood biochemical value, taste cool, improves dental health, does not affect the taste of food, dietary fiber with a probiotic effect, etc., is much better than pure sweeteners such as aspartame that can only provide sweetness, but its disadvantage is that it is intolerant, relatively speaking, xylitol has a higher acceptance, so it will become a sweetener for chewing gum.
So it may be that the moon cake is too delicious, or the sugar alcohol intolerance is more serious, so the big V have pulled up the stomach after enjoying the moon cake, but the diarrhea caused by sugar alcohol is fine, after pulling the calculation, there will be no too heavy "sequelae", but this diarrhea is really uncomfortable, sleep is unstable, afraid of thinning!
Generally these sugar alcohol substitute foods will indicate the use of sucrose substitute sugar, and will warn that some people may be intolerant will diarrhea, but it is estimated that the purchase of negligence, is indeed an accident, but look at the knowledge of so sincere apology and remedy attitude, you see, do not forgive, may wish to leave a word Ha!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="36" >Reading: Lactose intolerance</h1>
One might want to confuse lactose intolerance and lactitol intolerance, because lactose and lactitol are two things, lactitol does not exist in nature and is obtained by pressing and hydrogenating lactose (hydrogenation).
Lactose intolerance is due to insufficient lactase in the small intestine, so it is impossible to decompose lactose into glucose and galactose, there is congenital or acquired damage, and enteritis caused, many friends have their own hearts, generally drink milk within half an hour to 2 hours may be diarrhea.
Generally, there are fewer people in Europe and the United States who are lactose intolerant, but the Lactose intolerance in the Asian population is relatively high, but there is also tolerance, for example, 90% of the Japanese are lactose intolerant patients, but most people drink 200 ml of milk and have no discomfort, which is the so-called safe amount, and each person's amount is different, you need to try it yourself.
