What’s there in the readily available drink mixes in the local market?
- Sugar: sucrose and High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) are the most common types of sugar used in drink mixes. Sucrose gives a quick burst of energy but consumption leads to weight gain and a spike in sugar levels. HFCS contributes to heart disease and the risk of obesity.
- Emulsifiers: INS 322 (Lecithin) and INS 471 (Mono- and Di-glycerides of fatty acids) are the commonly used emulsifiers in drink mixes. Consumption in the long term may negatively impact the gut health
- Artificial Colors and Flavors: Colors are usually used to enhance the appearance of the food. Flavors are synthetic compounds used to mimic natural flavor. The use of artificial colors and flavors may cause allergic reactions in a few kids
- Soy Protein Isolate: It is a highly processed form of soy protein. Consumption of drink mixes that contain protein isolate in the long term leads to hormonal imbalances, especially in girls due to its high concentration of phytoestrogen
- Gluten: Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. consumption of gluten-containing drink mixes by kids with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity can lead to serious health complications, including nutrient deficiencies, osteoporosis, and infertility.
- Preservatives: Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, and Sulfites are the most commonly used preservatives in drink mixes to extend the shelf life. But using these will have negative implications for health
