From air and water
It seems that this dream can come true. At least "healthy" chocolate low calorie already invented by British scientists. The new product is almost all fats are replaced by water. Although water in the chocolate bar contains about 60%, taste, smell and texture is no different from the traditional chocolate.
Scientists believe that to create a new generation of products with low fat content you can use and little air bubbles. In their plans to produce not only healthy chocolate, but also, for example, mayonnaise, which is only 5% fat. Now the average fat content factory mayonnaise exceed 65%. In addition, it will be possible to create oatmeal, after which use the feeling of fullness will last for six hours. "Supercase" as it is called by the developers, will contain liquid, which when interacting with the acid in the stomach turns into a gel, making longer to digest.
A fly in the ointment
It would seem that all those wishing to lose weight would have these products so enjoy. But a spoonful of tar in a barrel of chocolate slipped scientists from the United States. It turns out that the fat-free tile little nutrients - antioxidants. Traditional chocolate is rich in natural antioxidants bioflavonoids and polyphenols. The number of bioflavonoids, catechins chocolate ahead of tea. Catechins prevent the development of malignant tumors and diseases of the cardiovascular system. And the content of these substances in chocolate depends on its fat content. It turns out, chocolate low in cocoa butter special unhelpful.
Imitation of taste
And what do you think about the new product of the Russian doctors? Says nutritionist Mariana Trifonova:
- Now in the domestic market many products that are called long-known older products, but they are not. Still, chocolate, mayonnaise have a specific manufacturing technology. And it would be right to write on the package that we have before us the product with the taste of chocolate, mayonnaise.
Of course, low-calorie product that mimics the taste of traditional, perfectly safe. But no fatty foods we can't live. Otherwise the body will have problems: the skin becomes flabby, bones and joints will be sore. The classic food pyramid suggests that 65% of our food have carbs, 15% protein and 25% fats.
The best option is still to adhere to the principles of healthy eating, where the normal chocolate, and normal mayonnaise, but as a celebratory meal. Chocolate, in which particles of fat are replaced by water, it is a variation on the magic pill: take me so that I was eating chocolate and not gain weight. But miracles, alas, does not exist.
Fashion for all
Low-calorie food has infiltrated all layers of society. She won the hearts and stomachs of even the farmers, who, it was believed, traditionally despise skim for whom tasty and fatty synonyms. Even they, according to statistics, at least once a week to buy a "light meal". And their wives who actively started to sit on diets, and that more often. About 70% of Americans buy low calorie foods several times a week. And 20% of the population use almost exclusively. Last year on the "light food" Americans spent 33 billion dollars! In this sea of money there and my drop. I catch myself on the fact that, when choosing a product, in two cases out of three prefer nonfat, no sugar and zero calories. It helps to feel if not on a diet, but keeping the situation under control for very little money: fat-free meat is more expensive than normal on average by 20%.
"Light" products - each other, not friends, not friends, and competitors. Bought a can of juice and read it black PR to another "easy". A comparative analysis was as follows: "In the us 6 grams of sugar, and they - 14, us 6 grams of carbohydrates, and those - all 15". And in the end the final blow: "We have 29 calories per Cup, and drink another juice, you swallow all 60".
Read the labels
However, critics of the "light meal" do not get tired to convince us that not everything is so cool.
First, because of dishonest advertising people think that low-calorie foods can be eaten in any quantity. And counting calories show that trust makes us eat a light meal" more than usual, and gain extra calories due to a larger volume. Secondly, nutritionists explain that the body does not disappoint. He responds to the sweetener in diet soda pop as a signal "sugar! " and is ready to accept real sugar calories. Not having received them from the "light" drink, the body will try to compensate for the shortage of by-product credits, hamburger, for example, whose calories it will not burn, but will try to store about.
Fitness lovers and truly healthy food carefully study the labels. The sign "nizkokaloriynoe" attracts their much stronger than the low fat content. Very often, manufacturers of low-fat foods to keep the real flavor, add a lot of sugar. To find out what actually contains the product, ladies and gentlemen necessarily read the text written on the box in small print, and looking at the table. Such readers in the store meet a lot of. Americans today do not really trust advertisements, which are ready in any product to find something light and loud to make a statement about it. Without going into details.
