Maybe it's sugar in milk tea.
Even if you order sugar-free milk tea, it may contain a lot of sugar.
The sweetness of milk tea is one of the sources of its magical charm. It is a nature that people like to eat sugar.
In the1970s, a professor of oral biology named Jacob Steiner did an experiment. He fed sugar water to the newborn who had never eaten breast milk, and then wrote on the paper: "That expression was obviously relaxed. A satisfied smile. After dinner, he licked his lips and sucked. " He gave the newborn bitter water again, and the newborn vomited. ...
There is a hypothesis that, in terms of psychological reaction, babies can relieve their emotions by eating sugar; Adults eating sugar can relieve pain, overcome fatigue and endure hunger.
Later, it was found that humans love sugar because they are addicted to it.
Although sugar can provide energy as a nutrient, it is also a chemical substance, which can stimulate the brain to secrete the neurotransmitter dopamine, thus producing a sense of pleasure. The reward network of the brain is mainly composed of dopamine-secreting nerves. Yes
Just as eating too much medicine will reduce the efficacy, eating too much sugar will reduce the dopamine naturally secreted by the brain. So, be sure to eat more sugar.
It may also be because the caffeine content in milk tea is too high.
Excessive intake is not good for your health.
According to the standards of the World Health Organization, it is recommended that healthy adults consume less than 200 mg of caffeine per dose and less than 400 mg throughout the day.
The research shows that the average caffeine content of a large cup of milk tea of online celebrities is 107mg, and some milk teas even exceed 200mg. For most people, a small amount of caffeine can temporarily drive away drowsiness and restore energy. It is clinically used to treat neurasthenia and coma resuscitation.
However, long-term large intake will cause nervous tension, and for anxiety patients, caffeine will cause sweating, palpitations, tinnitus and other symptoms, which will bring serious harm to the body. In addition, if pregnant women consume more than 200 mg of caffeine every day, the abortion rate will double. Therefore, it is generally recommended that pregnant women drink milk tea as little as possible.
Caffeine and sugar are addictive. Why do you yawn when you don't drink milk tea all day? It may be because your body and brain are used to the secretion of adrenaline and dopamine caused by adding milk tea.
To put it bluntly, drinking milk tea is equivalent to another kind of smoking, not necessarily less harmful than smoking.
