1. Avoid drinking uncooked soy milk:
Many people like to buy raw soy milk and heat it up at home. When they see bubbles rising during heating, they mistakenly think it has boiled. In fact, this is the bubbling phenomenon caused by the organic matter in the soy milk expanding due to heat to form bubbles. It is not boiling and is not cooked. Uncooked soy milk is harmful to the human body. Because soy milk contains two toxic substances, it will cause protein metabolism disorders, irritate the gastrointestinal tract, and cause poisoning symptoms. The way to prevent soy milk poisoning is to boil the soy milk at a high temperature of 100℃, and then you can drink it safely. If you experience symptoms such as headache or difficulty breathing after drinking soy milk, you should seek medical attention immediately. Do not delay to avoid life-threatening consequences.
2. Avoid beating eggs in soy milk:
Many people like to beat eggs in soy milk, thinking that this is more nutritious, but this method is unscientific. This is because the mucus protein in the eggs easily combines with the trypsin in the soy milk to produce a substance that cannot be absorbed by the human body, greatly reducing the body's absorption of nutrients.
3. Avoid drinking brown sugar:
Adding brown sugar to soy milk makes it taste sweet and fragrant, but the organic acid in brown sugar combines with the protein in soy milk to produce denatured precipitates, which greatly destroys the nutritional components.
4. Avoid using thermos bottles:
There are substances in soy milk that can remove scale in the thermos. Under suitable temperature conditions, with soy milk as nutrients, the bacteria in the bottle will multiply rapidly, and after 3 to 4 hours the soy milk will become sour and deteriorate. 5. Avoid drinking excessive amounts:
Drinking too much soy milk at one time can easily cause protein indigestion, resulting in uncomfortable symptoms such as bloating and diarrhea.
6. Avoid drinking soy milk on an empty stomach:
Most of the protein in soy milk will be converted into calories and consumed in the human body, and cannot fully play a nourishing role. Drinking soy milk while eating some starchy foods such as bread, cakes, and steamed buns can allow the protein in the soy milk to be more fully enzymatically hydrolyzed with gastric juice under the action of starch, allowing the nutrients to be fully absorbed.
7. Avoid taking it with medicine:
Some drugs will destroy the nutrients in soy milk, such as tetracycline, erythromycin and other antibiotics.
People who should not drink soy milk
1. Patients with acute gastritis and chronic superficial gastritis should not eat soy products to avoid stimulating excessive secretion of gastric acid, aggravating the condition, or causing gastrointestinal bloating.
2. Beans contain a certain amount of oligosaccharides, which can cause symptoms such as belching, intestinal rumbling, and abdominal bloating, so friends with gastric ulcers should eat less. Patients with gastritis and renal failure need a low-protein diet, but beans and their products are rich in protein, and their metabolites will increase the burden on the kidneys, so they should be avoided.
3. The oxalate in beans can combine with calcium in the kidneys, easily forming stones, which will aggravate the symptoms of kidney stones. Therefore, patients with kidney stones should not eat beans.
4. Gout is a disease caused by purine metabolism disorder. Soybeans are rich in purine, which is a hydrophilic substance. Therefore, after soybeans are ground into pulp, the purine content is several times higher than other soy products. Therefore, soy milk is not suitable for gout patients. |
