Recently, "cream apple candy" has become popular all over the internet and has become a sought after "social gift" among young people. Many consumers expressed that it was "a bit sticky" and "really sweet" after tasting it.
Dai Chun, deputy director of the Clinical Nutrition Department at Nanjing First Hospital, said that generally one cream apple candy has about three to four hundred calories, equivalent to two or three bowls of rice. It may take at least an hour of exercise to metabolize.
Special attention should be paid to these three categories of people: first, people with metabolic diseases, such as diabetes and hyperlipidemia; Secondly, people with weaker digestion, such as the elderly and children; The third is weight management.
At present, the common types of cream on the market are mainly divided into plant-based cream and animal based cream.
The fat in vegetable butter is mainly unsaturated fatty acid. After hydrogenation, it will produce trans fatty acid, which is difficult to be digested and absorbed by human body. It may increase blood viscosity and aggregation, increase the concentration of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, promote thrombosis and atherosclerosis, and also promote the occurrence of diabetes. The fat contained in animal cream is mainly saturated fatty acids, containing cholesterol, protein, carbohydrates, as well as a certain amount of vitamin A and essential fatty acids, with relatively high nutritional value. However, due to its high fat content, excessive consumption may lead to problems such as obesity.
Due to the high fat content in butter, even pure animal butter should be consumed in moderation. According to the "Chinese Dietary Guidelines for Residents (2022)", the intake of saturated fatty acids should not exceed 10% of the total daily energy intake. Taking an adult as an example, when the daily energy intake is between 1600-2400 kcal, the daily intake of saturated fatty acids should not exceed 17.8-26.7 grams.
