Is it necessary for teenagers to take Tsinghua Kingsley to improve their memory?
Author: Ren Zhuli
Mr. "Today's Millennium" published an article "Query on Tsinghua Jinsi's Improving Memory"
(see XYS200806 17). Finally, I want to know about the official website of Kingsley:
"The scientific community agrees that maintaining and improving memory transfer factor (Ach) is the fundamental way to improve memory.
Diameter. "What's going on. It seems that the author has a strong sense of social responsibility and the spirit of verification, and respects the facts.
It's commendable! I never knew there was a Kingsley website before, and I didn't know that Tsinghua University was producing and selling big products.
Measure healthy food. I didn't know the product content and advertising content of Kingsley until I opened it.
Then, "maintaining and improving memory transfer factor (Ach)" is really the fundamental way to improve memory.
Really?
First of all, the term "memory transfer factor (Ach)" is used by Tsinghua Kingsley Company.
Enhance the advertising effect and impose it on (Ach). Ach is the abbreviation of acetylcholine. This one
Chemicals were discovered about a century ago. It is called "acetylcholine" in Chinese. Literature or major in biology and medicine.
It is called "acetylcholine" in books or textbooks, as well as in professional dictionaries in Chinese and English. Don't call it.
Is it "memory transfer factor", "memory transfer factor" or "memory"
Transmitter "and" memory transmitter ",which is a neurotransmitter. But it not only exists in the human brain, but also
It exists in many other tissues of the human body. It mainly acts on the central nervous system, sympathetic nervous system and accessories.
Cholinergic nerves in the sympathetic nervous system. Sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system belong to "autonomic spirit"
Through the system. "This is a very important nervous system in the human body. If necessary, the two can be independent and spontaneous.
Keep the body's activities in the most appropriate state; Involved in cardiovascular system, digestive system, reproductive system and so on.
For example, the parasympathetic nervous system slows down the heartbeat, dilates blood vessels, promotes the secretion of saliva and digestive glands, bile and
Release of insulin; The sympathetic nervous system accelerates the heartbeat and visceral blood under the action of its neurotransmitters.
Tube contraction and so on. So in many cases, the two are a "positive" and a "negative", coordinated control, so that organizations and
The function of organs is maintained in the best balance. Acetylcholine participates in the memory activities of the central nervous system.
An important neurotransmitter. Of course, memory activity is also very important, but it is only a part of its physiological function. bayi
Acylcholine is specially called "memory transfer factor", which is "from part to whole", which is very inappropriate. This is a ...
Secondly, there are many neurotransmitters in the human body, such as dopamine, norepinephrine and glutamic acid.
Wait a minute. Now we know that they also have the function of transmitting memories. If acetylcholine is called "memory transfer"
Factor ",others, can also be called" memory transfer factor ". So, you say "memory transfer"
Transfer factor ",others don't know what kind of compound you mean. In addition, "dopamine", "on the kidney.
Adenosine also plays an important role in the cardiovascular system, so there is also the problem of "generalizing the whole with the partial".
In short, changing the name rashly will cause confusion in noun naming. In order to promote communication and dissemination, science
Nouns should be standardized and unified, and should not be arbitrary. This is scientific knowledge. Specializing in "acetylcholine"
Known as the "memory transfer factor", this is the indiscretion of experts from Tsinghua Kingsley. can
Can they think that "melatonin", "golden partner" and "only position" are all hot? But commodity life
Naming is one thing, but changing the names of existing scientific terms is another. In order to exaggerate the health care effect of the product
In this way, it is not a serious scientist to change the naming of scientific terms at will in order to attract people's attention.
Willing to do.
Secondly, there are many mistakes or exaggerations in Tsinghua Kingsley's product introduction.
For example:
1. "phosphatidylcholine is the most important component in phospholipids, which can reach the brain directly and be hydrolyzed in the brain.
Choline combines with acetyl coenzyme to produce memory transfer factor (Ach). "The fact is that phosphatidylcholine is in
After the brain is hydrolyzed into choline, acetylcholine can be produced from choline under the catalysis of choline transacetylase.
Acetylcholine cannot be produced without the catalysis of choline transacetylase. So in the advertising words,
This statement is not correct.
2. The advertisement said: "Extract acetyl bile from natural plant soybean to quickly replenish brain memory."
Alkali ". Phosphatidylcholine, not acetylcholine, is extracted from natural soybeans.
The "acetylcholine" they need for mass sales cannot be extracted from soybeans. At least it shows up here.
Its advertising words were written hastily and not seriously.
3. "Tsinghua Kingsley is Tsinghua University. After ten years of full research on the working principle of the human brain,
Dozens of biologists and biologists have carefully developed a new generation of professional brain-strengthening products. It uses phospholipids.
Acylcholine is the main functional component. Acetylcholine in human body is synthesized by supplement, "…" phosphatidylcholine.
Alkali ",namely lecithin, is found in1948; Lecithin is the raw material for synthesizing acetylcholine, and there are dozens of kinds.
I knew it years ago. How can we call it "a new generation of professional brain-strengthening products"? ! Dozens in Tsinghua University.
A famous biologist and biologist spent ten years developing such an "antique", really.
It's incredible! It's obviously a bluff. Deceive consumers. But it's a little low-level. I'm not afraid of hurting my head.
The halo on the top? !
4. Kingsley's "health care function: Kingsley is still helping even when the brain is resting and sleeping."
Digest, organize, stabilize and store the knowledge that has entered the brain, so that it is easier to extract knowledge and make learning more effective.
Save effort. ""Many students have encountered such a situation that they can't remember what they originally remembered in the examination room. This kind of examination room
In fact, the blocking phenomenon is also caused by the decrease of the concentration of memory transfer factor (Ach). ""especially suitable.
It is suitable for teenagers in the growth and development period, especially students who are near the entrance examination for senior high school. "
"Ten years later, after fully studying the working principle of the human brain", Kingsley's biologist, life science.
Have psychologists really figured out how memory works? The memory of the brain. The learning process is very complicated. Involving a lot.
Different regions such as cerebral cortex, thalamus and hippocampus, and nerves such as dopamine, norepinephrine and glutamic acid.
Transmitter. Memory can be further divided into short-term memory, long-term memory and shielded memory. Long-term memory can be further divided into
Explicit memory and implicit memory can be subdivided. The brain is made up of billions of nerves.
Cell composition constitutes a huge and changeable neural network. Neurotransmitters and other bioactive factors are various.
Moreover, its complexity can be imagined. Memory and learning are one of the important functions of this network, so what should we talk about?
Relax. In June, 2007165438+1October, he was awarded the Shigetada Nakanishi Neuroscience Award.
At the Gruber Award Ceremony in this field, Mr. Qian Weichang, a member of Gruber Foundation, pointed out:
"It will take decades or even longer to fully understand the working principle of the human brain." So ask about memory.
Although intense research is under way (most of them are still aimed at animal models), it is far from clear at present.
In other words, the exact neural process of memory function needs to be further clarified. Experts and scholars in Kingsley,
If we make the working principle of human brain learning and memory as clear as the above, use eggs.
It is amazing that phospholipids can achieve this effect. It is "super international level". This nerve
The annual outstanding science award should be awarded to experts and scholars in Kingsley, not Chinese and Western academicians.
Unfortunately, these experts and scholars have not been heard by academic circles except bragging and shouting for advertising to attract customers.
Their voices in this regard! They are talking about "the phenomenon of blocking the examination room"; "Especially near the college entrance examination.
Students "especially need Kingsley's" three effects of Tsinghua Jin Si's power to help improve their memory "and so on.
Problems that are difficult to test and demonstrate. Where are their experimental data? In which journals are academic papers published? It's over.
It's all because they try to figure out and use their parents' psychological state, pretend to care about teenagers and talk nonsense.
Fool parents into making a profit.
As mentioned earlier, learning and memory require different parts of the brain, various neurotransmitters and other students.
The close coordination of bioactive molecules, although the role of acetylcholine is very important, can not cover everything.
What's more, what Tsinghua Kingsley provides is only phosphatidylcholine (lecithin), the raw material for synthesizing it! if
Lecithin is so effective that American health food companies will label it or simply apply for it as a medicine.
You can earn more profits. You know, lecithin was first discovered abroad a long time ago. But American pharmacies and
In health food stores, lecithin is usually labeled as beneficial to nerves or improving the memory of the elderly.
Never said that it can enhance teenagers' memory and learning ability, which is more realistic. Of course, American "food"
And drug supervision ",exaggerated advertising words are not allowed, manufacturers usually dare not cross the line.
Generally speaking, the number of nerve cells in the elderly is less than that in young adults, and their ability to synthesize acetylcholine is also reduced, especially.
Is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, memory loss. In order to improve patient records
In order to remember and prevent the further development of the disease, doctors try to give patients lecithin to increase their acetylcholine.
The formation of alkali. But it's no use. So they changed their thinking, from "open source" to "throttling". because
Acetylcholine produced by lecithin for nerve cells was quickly found in the nervous system and blood.
"Acetylcholinesterase", which specifically deals with "acetylcholine", is decomposed. Can you use it to suppress this?
Enzyme drugs, play a "throttling" role? So I tried an inhibitor called physostigmine.
Special agent. As a result, the curative effect is remarkable. Many of these inhibitors have been used to improve patients' memory.
Because there are fewer nerve cells, acetylcholine is also reduced (the reduction range in different parts of the brain ranges from 10% to 30%).
Patient, taking lecithin can't improve the patient's memory. How can you expect to get lecithin from Tsinghua?
(that is, Kingsley) to "enhance" the memory of "teenagers"? ! Besides, teenagers are in a long physical period and their brains are thin.
Cells cannot be reduced; And the metabolism is vigorous, not malnutrition, and there is no shortage of lecithin at all.
Third, there are further reasons why teenagers don't need to take "Tsinghua Kingsley" to enhance their memory:
1. The human body itself can synthesize lecithin (Kingsley). The human liver can synthesize what a person needs.
Total lecithin. Therefore, lecithin is not an essential nutrient for human beings. Lecithin as nutrition
The concept of adequate nutritional supplement for normal people is unfounded. Healthy and disease-free teenagers are even more unnecessary.
Take lecithin (except those who eat vegetables, especially those who don't eat eggs and milk). In fact, lecithin exists.
Of all animals and plants. Eggs (such as eggs, which are also rich in vitamins such as iodine, selenium and B 12),
Animal liver,
Soybean (so it is often a by-product after soybean oil is squeezed. "Kingsley" is a soybean product) and wheat germ.
(also rich in vitamin e and selenium; Therefore, coarse flour is better than refined white flour.) Peanuts are particularly rich.
Therefore, even if you are worried about insufficient intake, it is enough to supplement some of these natural foods, and you still need to buy expensive ones.
Yes, artificial Kingsley pills?
2. Lecithin is not as much as possible: the lecithin eaten will be divided by the "lecithin enzyme" in the small intestine.
Only part of it is absorbed and utilized by the body. It is a high-energy nutrient with a calorie of 9 kcal/g,
As high as grease. So eating too much will cause side effects such as gastrointestinal discomfort, sweating and loss of appetite.
High doses may cause hypotension. In addition, if you take it regularly, you should consider possible impurity pollution, including heavy
Excessive metals, preservatives, etc. Because all kinds of metal equipment and organic solvents must be used in the manufacturing process,
Inevitably, impurities such as heavy metals will be mixed. Since "Tsinghua Kingsley" is so exaggerated, there is no product introduction.
Without honesty, making money is everything. How can we believe that it and other manufacturers can think of consumers and ensure the high quality of products?
Quantity? "Sanlu" infant milk powder is a national inspection-free brand product, and won the second prize of national scientific and technological progress in 2007. China Central Television (CCTV)
Also broadcast the special program "Sanlu Group: 1 100 passed the inspection" and speak for it; Gansu Provincial Bureau of Quality Supervision in September
All the standards of Sanlu milk powder tested by China Food and Drug Administration. 1 1 meets the national quality standards. There is a lot of darkness! According to reports, September
Yantai Evening News published only 20 companies containing melamine on June 5438+07, and filtered out two local companies in Yantai.
A business deal. In a society lacking honesty and full of corruption, coupled with some morally bankrupt business elites,
As long as you have money and relationships, everything can be settled, and black and white are reversed. Who can you trust? ! Senior scientific official
Home, media or boss?
Parents are at a loss and can't agree. Because science is developing, a new god with memory function
There will be more and more transmitters and other bioactive molecules. At present, in addition to acetylcholine, there is dopamine, go
Adrenaline, glutamic acid, folic acid (one of which is called "Deplin") may not grow.
Will also appear in the domestic market) and so on. In recent years, phosphatidylserine and carnitine are also reported.
(Carnitine), pantothenic acid (also known as calcium pantothenate) is also good for brain function, including memory activity. face
Parents will be dazzled by many health foods related to learning and memory. such as
Buying all the fruits is not only a considerable expense. If you take a handful of medicine and one medicine every day, won't your child succeed?
A medicine can? At the same time, it may also make children dependent: if you forget to take medicine one day, you will worry about yourself.
If you don't study well, you won't do well in the exam.
Harvard University clearly pointed out on its website that "improving memory": "People want to enhance.
Memory pills are not on the market yet, although experts think they may be on the market one day. "That's wise.
The method is to maintain an adequate and balanced diet: a day's nutrition is scientific and reasonable, with good meat and vegetables, plus eggs,
Bean products, milk and fresh fruits and vegetables, enough.
I want to emphasize it here. The existing medical research results are more and more inclined to: keep full and
A balanced diet is the best way to get the nutrition you need, and of course it is also the most economical way. Besides getting sick.
Don't follow the advertisement except for people or people who really need to supplement any nutrients after clinical trials. For example,
It is probably harmful to buy a "golden partner" for children casually and supplement copper, zinc, iron and calcium. Because some
Trace elements are related to each other, that is, too much of one will hinder the absorption of the other. Blind compensation,
It is very likely that man-made imbalance will be counterproductive. Returning to China this spring, I met an Amway salesman.
The shop assistant is selling health food. The advertised dose of β -carotene was very large, so I went over curiously. This salesman
Said: I will take this dose myself. As a result, the back of her hand and the back of the customer are pale yellow, indicating that she has gone too far.
And it can't be excreted, so that the blood content is too high (medically called hypercapnia), which leads to yellowing of the skin.
It shows that this salesman, under the long-term indoctrination of Amway experts, is "beneficial" to large doses of β -carotene
Health, I am convinced. So she's a victim herself!
Therefore, the scientific community has not unanimously recognized that "maintaining and improving memory transfer factor (Ach) means improving memory.
The fundamental method of memory. "
Not to mention that lecithin supplementation can enhance the learning and memory ability of teenagers.
Judging from the effect and result, "Parents who want to care about their children's college entrance examination don't believe it" published by Mr. Today is the Millennium.
Tsinghua Kingsley! There is nothing wrong with the article, but you didn't find a suitable argument at that time.
So, you can write a third article to explain your second article. If necessary, it can be used at an appropriate time every year.
Write an article to remind parents who care about their children's college entrance examination not to waste money on "Tsinghua Jinsi"
Force. "
Many famous universities in China are keen on making health food rich. About ten years ago, Shanghai Jiaotong University
"Three oral liquids" can cure almost all diseases, and advertisements are overwhelming. After the "three oral liquids" were put on hold, they were again
"Only" appeared. The "Fuxikang" of Peking University is also famous all over the world, with remarkable results. All parts of this country.
Like Keshan area in the northeast, everyone is short of selenium? Especially now, food and vegetables are frequently transported from the south to the north.
In the big environment, it can't play the supplementary role of minerals in the region, and it is still deficient in selenium. Has Peking University made any adjustments in this regard?
Check? In contrast, whether it is Harvard University, Stanford University, Brown University or Yale University in the United States, it is about
Johns Hopkins University, etc. , have opened their own medical related web pages, but have not seen them online.
There are no TV advertisements promoting any health food in the world. On the contrary, it is reported that each of them is in biology.
Research progress in the medical field, popularizing some health care knowledge. The actions of these prestigious schools in China are not one?
Look at money, is that their way of running a school and the characteristics of socialist universities? ! If so, we can't help feeling.
All kinds of worries come from this!
By the way, it was pointed out that the human body relies on choline acetyltransferase to synthesize acetylcholine.
Alkali ". The activity of this enzyme is influenced by "neurotrophic factor", which can maintain its activity.
And increase the production of acetylcholine; Exercise and reasonable diet can regulate neurotrophic factors. That is to say,
Adequate nutrition and exercise can promote acetylcholine production.
