Is "high -end water" really high -end?

Water is the source of life. The weather is hot, and the water loss in the human body is accelerated. Therefore, water must be replenished in time to maintain the normal metabolic state of the human body. In addition to the mineral water and pure water we drink daily, there are many expensive water on the market, such as baby water, enzyme bubble water, and oxygen -rich. So, is these "high -end water" higher -end than ordinary water?

All kinds of "magic" effects chaos

Some time ago, the media exposed the chaos of alkaline water marketing. The alkaline water scam was revealed, but the "new concepts" of various "new concepts" on the market are still endless, weight loss, sleep aid, antioxidant ... the functions are dazzling.

For example, for infant immune system and the immature characteristics of the metabolic system, the merchant has launched infant water that focuses on the concept of "sterile, low sodium, and light mineralization". Therefore, it can ensure the safety of infants and young children. In addition, the packaging of this product also indicates that heavy metals such as heavy metals in this water are lower than national standards.

The efficacy of oxygen -rich is even more "amazing". Some merchants said when promoting oxygen -rich that when the human body is hypoxic, there will be many adverse consequences. Drinking oxygen -rich can increase the oxygen content in the human body and then play a certain amount of certainty Health care, such as anti -fatigue, anti -aging, etc.

As enzymes are accepted by more and more people, some merchants have launched enzyme bubbles. Many buyers are attracted by the 232 plants appearing in the ingredients table, and they have said that they drank this bottle of water "like drinking a whole vegetable market", and some even said that "the elemental cycle table is not all." The merchant claims that due to the addition of enzyme components, this water has the effects of regulating the intestinal tract, weight loss, and sleep aid.

There is a "IQ Tax" suspect

So, is these "high -end water" value or "IQ tax"?

According to Chen Yaqin, a doctor of Tianjin Meizhongyi and Equipment, excessive intake of minerals and salt does have an impact on infants and young children. It is recommended that the World Health Organization is suitable for infants and young children to feed drinking water. ≤200 mg/liter, magnesium ≤40 mg/liter.

"However, drinking water is not the main way for infants and young children to get trace elements, and it is mainly based on diet, so even if the water contains some trace elements, it has little impact on its health." Chen Yaqin said.

The sterile that emphasizes infant water can be easily achieved -as long as the water is boiled. "Before entering millions of households, tap water will go through strict purification and sterilization treatment in the water plant." Chen Yaqin said that if someone is worried that the tap water contains chlorine gas, it can be boiled in the water for 2-3 minutes. The chlorine gas in tap water "runs" out. Baby water is not as high as tap water, and treasures do not need to buy high prices.

For oxygen -rich, Mei Yan, a lecturer at the Department of Chemistry, Tianjin University of Science and Technology, said that it is impossible to supplement oxygen by drinking water.

"Even if the oxygen is dissolved into the water and encapsulated it by pressurizing. After the water bottle is opened, the oxygen may run away under the action of pressure." Mei Yan questioned It is difficult to be absorbed by the human body through the digestive tract mucosa, and it is obviously unreliable by "drinking" oxygen.

"In addition, people will generate free radicals in oxygen -containing environments, which is also one of the main reasons for human aging. If there are more oxygen intake in the human body, there are more free radicals generated. Accelerate the aging of the human body. "Mei Yan believes that the so -called oxygen -rich is a" IQ tax ".

Enzymes are the names of the Japanese for enzymes. The "Division of the Classification of Enzyme Products" released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology defines enzymes as: animals, plants, fungi, etc. , Microchacic fermentation products containing specific biological active ingredients.

"Its biological active ingredients include various nutrients provided by plant raw materials and microorganisms and plant functional chemical ingredients in natural plants, as well as some active substances for fermentation, including amino acids, peptides, vitamins, etc." Tianjin No. 1 Tan Guijun, director of the Nutrition Department of the Central Hospital, introduced that enzymes are often promoted to have the effects of weight loss, anti -cancer, and anti -aging, but the actual effect may not be ideal.

A certain e -commerce platform sells an enzyme bubble water, and its enzyme content is not much, and the product standards are GB/T 10792, which is the same as the execution criteria for most carbonated drinks. "Enzymes are just a selling point of this water. Enzyme bubble water is not much different from ordinary water." Tan Guijun said. (Edit Li Chuang)
