植物奶知多點
市面上售賣的植物奶，很多都標榜健康、環保、高鈣、低脂、含膳食纖維，連對乳製品過敏或有乳糖不耐症的人都可飲用，素食者亦有更多飲品選擇，看似是完美的牛奶代替品，然而魔鬼在細節，以下關於植物奶的小知識你都知道嗎？
⚠️ 小心高糖陷阱
為了令植物奶更美味，部份植物奶會額外添加糖，而部份植物奶的原材料本身都含糖份，如果減肥人士錯誤選擇高糖植物奶，可能會打亂瘦身大計。
⚠️ 添加乳化劑
如果你試過將燕麥加水放入攪拌機都知道，放置一會後燕麥和水會漸漸分離，為甚麼超市買的植物奶能保持「奶」的狀態？答案是添加了油份、乳化劑或酸度調節劑等添加物，想避免攝取太多添加物，購買前宜了解產品成份。
⚠️ 添加營養素
部份植物奶會標榜高鈣，但燕麥、杏仁等材料本身鈣含量都不高，變成植物奶就可以變高鈣？是因為製造商額外添加了營養素，例如鈣質、維他命D等，務求近似牛奶的營養價值。如果崇尚天然選擇原味無添加的植物奶，就要注意從日常飲食中補充需要的營養素。

Learn more about plant based milk
Many plant based milk products are often marketed as healthy drinks that are environmentally-friendly. They are said to be high in calcium, low in fats, and rich in fibers, and are a perfect milk substitute for vegans and those who are lactose-intolerant.
So, how true are these claims? How much do you know about plant based milk?
⚠️ Beware of its sugar levels
While the raw ingredients do contain a small amount of sugar, additional sugar is often added to improve the taste of the products. Consuming plant based milk beverages that contain added sugar might not be the best for individuals who wish to lose weight.
⚠️ The use of emulsifier
If you have tried blending oats in water, you would have notice the mixture would eventually form two separate layers. How do plant based milk products maintain its ‘milk form’ for an extended period then? The answer lies with additives such as oils, emulsifier, or acidity regulator, which the manufacturers add. To reduce the intake of these additives, make sure we read the nutritional labels.
⚠️ Additional nutrients
Some plant based milk products boast a high calcium content, but raw ingredients like oats and almond by nature are not high in calcium. Some manufacturers tend to add additional nutrients such as calcium and Vitamin D to the drinks so that their nutritional values would be on par with that of the cow’s milk. For consumers who prefer a more natural product would have to replenish nutrients through other dietary sources.
