我们都知道糖吃多了对健康有害,会增加肥胖、糖尿病、心血管疾病等多种疾病风险,越来越多人开始了少糖甚至无糖饮食。
饮料也不例外。
市场上很多饮料都是含糖的,包括碳酸饮料、茶饮料等。
敏锐的食品生产商将目标对准了饮料市场,开始生产无糖饮料、代糖饮料。
这些饮料里都含有人造甜味剂。
这些人造甜味剂虽然不是糖,但是却能够产生甜味,让人的大脑感觉甜,被很多人认为是糖的健康替代品。
不但能少吃糖,减少糖带来的健康风险,又能满足我们的味觉享受。
但这些人造甜味剂真的更健康吗?
最近一项研究发现,如果常吃含有人造甜味剂的食物,可能会增加癌症的风险。
而人造甜味剂的主要来源是无糖饮料或代糖饮料,其次是含糖零食、饼干、蛋糕、酸奶等食物。
其中女性、年轻人、身体活动少的人对人造甜味剂的摄入量更高,更可能患病。
当然,目前的研究只是观察性的,只显示了人造甜味剂与癌症风险升高存在关联,并没有表明因果关系。
不过,为降低患癌风险,除了不要吃喝含有添加糖的食品和饮料外,也要注意减少人造甜味剂的摄入量。
