Labeled “500 billion (CFU) probiotics (益生菌)”, the yogurt has gained popularity among people seeking to cleanse their digestive systems, especially those trying to manage their weight. CFU (菌落形成單位) is a unit used to measure the number of live bacteria in a probiotic product. According to the yogurt’s ingredient list, it contains five varieties of edible probiotics.

Studies have consistently shown the positive benefits of probiotics on gastrointestinal (胃腸道的) health. However, some consumers shared their unpleasant experiences of suffering from gastroenteritis (腸胃炎) and receiving hospital treatment after consuming the yogurt product that claims to contain “500 billion (CFU) probiotics”. Pu Fangfang, a doctor from the Clinical Nutrition Department of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, said that the factors contributing to their symptoms were multiple.

Moreover, many components on the label are slightly higher than the recommended daily intake. For example, every cup of the “500 billion (CFU) probiotics” yogurt, according to the label, contains between 40.5 to 54 grams of dietary fiber, which is much higher than the 25 to 30 grams daily for adults recommended by the China Nutrition Society. “Taking in such a large amount of dietary fiber in such a short time might lead to bloating (脹氣), acid reflux (胃酸返流), and even diarrhea,” said Pu.
此外,標(biāo)簽上的許多成分均略高于每日推薦攝入量。例如,該款酸奶產(chǎn)品包裝顯示:每杯酸奶中含有40.5至54克膳食纖維——這遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)高于中國營養(yǎng)學(xué)會(huì)建議的成人每日25-30克的攝入量。“短時(shí)間內(nèi)攝入如此大量的膳食纖維可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致腹脹、胃酸反流,甚至腹瀉,”樸醫(yī)生說。

Last but not least, individuals vary significantly in their dietary tolerances. Those with poor digestive health or food allergies as well as other vulnerable people should be cautious with everything they consume, not just yogurt.
每個(gè)人對(duì)食物的耐受性都不同,消化系統(tǒng)脆弱或容易食物過敏的人應(yīng)該對(duì)食物的挑選更小心。

“For people who want to try this kind of product, sharing a cup with others on your first try might be a good choice,” recommended Pu. Try a small amount and see what happens to your body and then adjust the amount accordingly. It is worth noting that we should not rely on such products for weight management. “While they may facilitate immediate weight loss, the reduction predominantly comprises water and waste rather than fat loss,” said Pu.
“如果你想嘗試這種產(chǎn)品,考慮一下和別人拼一杯吧!第一次盡量只喝一點(diǎn)點(diǎn),觀察一下自己的身體反應(yīng)。”樸醫(yī)生說,“我們不應(yīng)該依賴這些產(chǎn)品來控制體重,它們或許可以讓我們快速掉秤,但這減掉的只是身體里的水和需排除的廢物物質(zhì),并不是脂肪。”

溫馨提示:許多研究表明,益生菌能夠幫助我們保持消化系統(tǒng)健康,但是效果因人而異。過量食用反而會(huì)導(dǎo)致腹瀉等不良反應(yīng)。所以,下次在服用益生菌補(bǔ)劑或者含益生菌的酸奶時(shí),要結(jié)合自身的身體情況謹(jǐn)慎服用哦!
