Recently, a boy from Shanghai Foreign Language University has attracted attention to foreign objects in girls' coffee. At present, the boys involved have been expelled from school status. According to the Songjiang Branch of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, the foreign objects were used for taurine pills for online purchases.

Public information shows that taurine, as one of the most abundant free amino acids in mammalian tissues, is a chemical raw medicine, and can be used as a nutritional enhancer in food additives. industry.

The taurine tosses of taurine are integrated into various efficacy ingredients such as taurine, myosol, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, nicotinamide, etc. Practice, promote the metabolism of the human body, and regulate the function of the nervous system, so as to achieve the effects of refreshing the brain, replenishing physical strength, and anti -fatigue.

On June 17, 2021, taurine giants Yongan Pharmaceuticals responded to investors' questions that according to incomplete statistics, taurine consumption accounted for about 50%in the food and beverage industry, about 30%of the pet food industry, and the feed industry It accounts for about 10%to 20%, and the amount of medicines and other areas is relatively small.

Yong'an Pharmaceutical once pointed out in the annual report that various popular functional drinks such as Red Bull, Lehu, Dongpeng, and other types of popularity contain taurine. Thanks to these products continuously launched and continued to sell, they once made taurine sales in drinks. The rapid growth of the industry.

What is the effect of taurine?

Telonic acid was first separated from the bile of beef in 1827, so it was commonly known as balbin or bull vaid. Telonic acid has a wide range of physiological pharmacological effects. If it can regulate the body's sugar metabolism and lipid metabolism, improve the prognosis of diabetes and its complications, it has the effects of anti -hypertension and arteriosclerosis and antioxidant.

Liu Xiangxin, director of the Office of the Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital Guangdong Provincial Psychiatric Health Center, and experts at the psychological health science popularization expert, told the 21st Century Business Herald that taurine material itself is not a drug but a food. At present, there is indeed no cases involving drugs in the spiritual field.

对于中枢神经系统而言，牛磺酸是一种中枢抑制性递质，能调节神经组织兴奋性与体温，维持细胞膜的电位平衡，有解热、镇静、镇痛、抗炎、抗风湿、抗The effect of convulsions.

However, the only medicinal taurine currently includes: ① taurine granules; ② taurine tablets, each/containing 0.4g taurine, can be used for children (1 year old and over children) or adults, adults, adults, or adults. People relieve the fever in the early stages of a cold, and are only used for patients with high fever and low heat.

According to the retrieval data of the State Administration of Market Supervision and Management, there are 192 kinds of health foods involving taurine, including puffed tablets, particles, oral fluids, etc.

Du Jiang, director of the Department of Material Addiction Medicine, Shanghai Mental Health Center, introduced that taurine, as a non -necessary amino acid for the human body, is mainly obtained through dietary supplements. After the combination of taurine and bile acid, it has the effects of regulating blood pressure, antioxidant, anti -inflammatory, and obesity, so it is widely used in many functional foods and beverages.

Taking common "Red Bull" beverages as an example, taurine is the main ingredient, together with other functional factors, "collaborate in the human body metabolism, and has the anti -fatigue effect of refreshing the brain and replenishing physical strength." It can interact with GABA energy, glycine, and glutamic acid energy receptors to help reduce anxiety behavior.

However, functional drinks with taurine, caffeine, and vitamin B as the main ingredients also have potential risks. Functional beverages are beverages that regulate human function by adjusting the nutritional ingredients and content in the beverage. It is used to supplement trace elements to maintain the body balance.

Therefore, it is not recommended to take a large number of functional drinks daily, let alone drink it as water, otherwise it will cause harm to the body. Long -term drinking functional beverages will cause the body to form dependence on beverages, at the same time affect the ability of the body's normal intake of nutrients, affect gastrointestinal function, cause body malnutrition, and even cause the symptoms of dehydration. In addition, it may also cause vitamin poisoning, increase burden on the body, etc. long -term drinking may also cause insomnia.

When the body is excited, the blood pressure and heartbeat speed will rise sharply to ensure the spirit of the spirit. Excessive drinking functional beverages will increase the burden on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, leading to hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and even hyperglycemia, which will cause stroke and even cerebral hemorrhage.

Addicted substances and psychiatric drugs need to be vigilant

From a mental hygiene perspective, although functional drinks are not controlled, they can still become entry agents of other addictive substances. They need to be valued to prevent the development of material dependence.

Dr. Tang Yan, the Department of Addiction Medicine, said that many new drugs and drugs are now extremely disguised. For example, the new beverages called "Kawa Water" are extremely high, claiming to alleviate anxiety, eliminate fatigue, improve sleep, etc., and of them, etc. The "γ -hydroxyl p -l -olic acid" contains a type of psychiatric drug controlled by the state. It has the effects of deep sedation and hypnosis and may be used in some illegal behaviors. The beverages of the "taurine foaming tablet" on the Internet may not be so simple.

The Regulations on the Management of Anesthesia Drugs and Psychiatric Drugs explained the duality of psychotropic drugs. On the one hand, psychotic drugs have a strong sedation and other effects. It is an indispensable medicine for medical treatment. Dependence is generated. If it flows into illegal channels, it becomes a drug, causing serious social harm. This special two -character characteristics determine that the state must control it in accordance with laws and regulations. But on social networks, psychotic drugs "black markets" still exist. The first type of psychotropic drugs of the state, the second -class psychotropic drugs, Sasteklon, Pippipin, Midazolan, Apzolun, Flurazi, etc. "Anxiety" and other forms are sold illegally, which is likely to be the "accomplices" of some illegal and criminal activities.

In addition, although caffeine that exists in functional beverages and tea drinks is within a reasonable range of the state's control over food adding ingredients, excessive consumption may be addictive. Because caffeine can directly affect human brain and spinal cord, and has potential dependence and tolerance, caffeine is listed as a second type of psychotropic drug control in my country. Open.

In fact, the feeling of excitement of caffeine is also a false image. It does not eliminate the fatigue on the body. It only blocked the feeling of sleeping after entering the nerves. The "need to rest" message from the nerves keeps people's energy in a state of activity.

Because caffeine is potentially addictive, many people have taken a long time to study and work for a long time to stay up late, and they will have serious dependence on caffeine in their bodies and psychology. Generally speaking, if a person consumes 600 mg caffeine daily, there will be physiological addiction within one to two weeks, and emotional changes will be produced within one day. Human mood destroys the normal work and study life of people.

Starting from June 1 this year, the State Administration of Market Supervision was officially implemented in the "Announcement on Strengthening the Supervision of Solid Beverage Quality and Safety". The announcement has provided detailed rules for the labeling of solid drinks, warning information, and false claims. It is mentioned that solid drinks must not be explicitly showed, implying special needs that involve disease prevention, treatment, health care functions, and special needs of people with specific diseases.
