Boba Drink Warning (from: CBS Sacramento)

无注释原文:


Is Bubble Tea Good For The Health?


Medical Daily


Bubble tea gained popularity in the U.S. in the ‘90s, but the trend quickly dissipated until it recently caught on in huge metropolitan cities. Also called boba tea, it originated in Taiwan and then spread across the pond to the Western world. 


The drink is attractive to people who find it looks similar to colorful smoothies. Unlike popular healthy drinks, bubble tea is not for those people who want to derive essential nutrition and lose weight. Bubble tea consists of balls made from the cassava root plant, which is filled with starch, called tapioca pearls. 


The tapioca pearls’ opaque and white appearance are the reason behind the drink’s unique quality and taste. Since the pearls retain a lot of water, they form a gel-like substance, which is responsible for the thickness of the tea. 


Boba pearls do not have a distinct flavor of their own, they are mild tasting with a tinge of sweetness. It takes on the flavor of the strongest ingredients such as coffee, honey, fruit purees, egg yolks and milk, among other additions in the mix. 


However, the pearls by themselves do not provide much calories, and it is gluten-free without any sugar. It is the ingredients that are used to concoct the drink that make it problematic. Generally, processed juice dripping in sugar is used to make the drink, which is why it tends to be loaded with calories. Sometimes, even alcohol is part of the drink’s content.  


Approximately 240 calories are contained in 16 ounces of green tea mixed with boba pearls, which includes 40 grams of sugar and 50 grams of carbohydrates. Milk and caffeine content are also calorie-heavy, according to a recent article.


The number of health concerns associated with drinking liquid with high sugar content are plenty. The health risks increase in the following areas: weight gain and obesity, metabolic syndrome, heart problem, dental issues, stroke, dementia, poor sleep and cancer. 


Bubble tea causes problems with the digestive tract, such as diarrhea and bloating. People with allergies to ingredients in the bubble tea are also at risk. In order to avoid these problems, healthier versions of the drink can be made too. First of all, avoid the sweet ingredients and use 100 percent fruit juice and raw honey. 


You can ensure the drink is filled with nutrition, vitamins and minerals by choosing healthy additives, such as chia seeds, flax seeds, berries and organic milk. Avoid processed food.
