Zhihu moon cake eating diarrhea news hot search, many people think that Zhihu moon cake has any food quality problems, causing diners diarrhea, and then Zhihu apologized, not because of food safety problems, but because moon cake is used to replace sucrose maltitol added too much, causing diarrhea problems.

You might be thinking, why does this maltitol cause diarrhea? Today, letBee CardTake everyone to realize the true face of maltitol!

1. what is maltitol?

Maltitol is a functional sweetener made by the hydrogenation of maltose. It is a polyol. At present, it is mainly used to replace sucrose and increase the sweetness in food. Erythritol, xylitol, sorbitol, etc. These sugar alcohols are warmly welcomed by dieters and sugar-free foods because of their low calorie and high sweetness.

What are the advantages of 2. maltitol?

1. Do not produce acid to corrode teeth.

As we all know, we often eat sugar, that is, sucrose, eat too much will have dental caries, usually called worm teeth. Because after eating sucrose, if the residual sucrose on the teeth is not cleaned in time, the bacteria in the mouth will decompose the sucrose to produce acidic substances, which will gradually corrode the surface of the teeth and lead to insect teeth.

However, sugar alcohols are not substances that generate acids upon decomposition and do not substantially allow bacteria to synthesize insoluble glycans. Therefore, the sugar alcohol is a substance that hardly causes dental caries.

2. Does not stimulate the secretion of insulin.

Sucrose is easily decomposed in the gastrointestinal tract to produce glucose, which increases the concentration of glucose in the blood and stimulates the secretion of a large amount of insulin. Maltitol and other sugar alcohols are difficult to be digested and absorbed by the human body, and basically do not affect the concentration of glucose in the blood, and then do not stimulate insulin secretion, which can reduce insulin secretion. Therefore, maltitol and other sugar alcohols are commonly used as sweeteners in diabetic foods.

3. Does not lead to excessive accumulation of body fat.

Insulin not only has the function of promoting glucose metabolism, but also promotes the metabolism of fat in the blood, promotes the entry of glucose into fat cells, and makes energy aggregate to form fat. Therefore, when the human body at the same time edible oil and sugar, sugar decomposition of glucose to stimulate insulin secretion, insulin to promote the production of body fat, so that the body fat aggregation. This is why sugar and oil mixtures tend to get fat.

Sugar alcohol basically does not stimulate the secretion of insulin. If sugar alcohol is added to high-fat foods instead of sucrose, such as moon cakes, biscuits, cakes and other foods, it can reduce the increase of body fat to a certain extent. This is also the choice of sugar alcohol as a substitute for sucrose.

Why does 3. eat too much maltitol cause diarrhea?

This is because maltitol is a substance that is difficult to digest by the human body and can hardly be decomposed by saliva, gastric juice and intestinal juice. If too much maltitol is ingested at one time, most of these maltitol will come from the mouth to the large intestine in the form of a prototype, accumulating in the large intestine and waiting. Due to its multi-hydroxyl structure, it is easy to combine with water and has a certain degree of water absorption. When maltitol accumulates in the large intestine, tissue fluid enters the intestinal lumen in large quantities. Therefore, it is best to control the intake of sugar alcohol every day, not more than 25g.

Compared with sucrose, maltitol and other sugar alcohols do have more advantages, and it is also a gospel for diabetics and dieters. Especially with the popularization of anti-sugar and sugar reduction, the application of sugar alcohols has gradually increased, not only moon cakes, Various beverages, cakes and other foods use sugar alcohols in the name of sugar-free, and there is no specific dosage. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the additive amount of sugar alcohol to reduce the occurrence of adverse events such as diarrhea caused by sugar alcohol.
