yoghurt, probiotics, MILK AND OMEGA3 added plant sterols.
Once upon a time the milk and yogurt ... We went to the supermarket, we headed up to the counter fridge and we had a choice of whole or skimmed milk, yogurt or fruit, dense or drink.
Today, we head to the counter fridge and it opens up a world: milk with added omega-3 that is good for the heart, milk with plant sterol that lowers cholesterol, lactic acid bacteria from yogurt with unknown names and disturbing that regularize the bowel function and enhance the immune system ... .. but what should we do? We can choose a product in peace without first achieving a degree in molecular biology?!
We try to do some 'clarity, because I believe that consumers have a right to know to choose without fear that a "bifidus" alien to terrorize them into nightmares ...
What are milk added? In practice this is milk (usually cow) with the addition of substances that are "good" at something. Today there are mainly latti con Omega-3 e/o con steroli vegetali.
Gli omega 3 sono degli acidi grassi indispensabili per uno stato ottimale della salute umana che si trovano principalmente nel pesce. Sono grassi polinsaturi, ossia liquidi a temperatura ambiente e ricchi di “spezzettamenti” nella loro composizione chimica. E’ ormai noto che un’adeguata introduzione con la dieta di questi grassi riduca i fenomeni infiammatori e la possibilità di sviluppare fenomeni di aterosclerosi e patologie cardiache in generale. Aggiungerli al latte significa aumentare (sempre considerando la quantità individuale di assunzione di latte al giorno.)gli introiti di questi grassi. Ora, vorrei sottolineare che la dieta mediterranea è già di per sé caratterizzata a healthy balance (and I stress the word "BALANCE") between the various types of fatty acids and going to propose a food imbalances that the situation in favor of omega-3 may not be necessary, if not harmful. All those "chopped" in the chemical chain are "weak points" of the test and if one part is useful, too, become harmful. So, apart from marketing, say that if the diet is very poor and dull (low intake of fish, over-consumption of animal fat ..) can be useful to take these products, but certainly not out of control of the daily amount taken.
and plant sterols? It also called plant sterols and lower the level blood cholesterol in part by blocking the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine. Many studies show that between 1 and 3 grams of phytosterols per day for several weeks helps reduce plasma cholesterol. Of course, add to milk or yogurt becomes a daily habit that can be taken by the consumer to try to solve a metabolic problem. Nevertheless, we are products designed exclusively for people with high cholesterol, not intended for pregnant women, breastfeeding or for children under the age of 5 anni.Ultimo mention of probiotics: are substances that promote the growth of microorganisms with beneficial effects for the colon and the body in general. Are shown in tutti i casi di “disbiosi” intestinale (quando è presente colite, stitichezza, gonfiore addominale, diarrea). Nessuna grande controindicazione, ma, come per tutte le cose, non esageriamo mai con le quantità.
