Hello! You must have been curious while watching the video~???? If I tell you about Natural Flavors that I couldn't explain in detail in the video, at first I thought the name sounded healthy and what could be bad about it. Natural Flavors are obtained from plants or animals, but they are reborn as chemicals in the lab. In a word, they are 'chemicals'. So is Artificial Flavor worse than Natural Flavor? They are both 'chemicals' just from different sources! If we ingest them and enter our bodies, we don't know where and how they will stick or how they will act (since they haven't been with us for a long time, there is a lack of clinical research and data). However, you don't want to put chemicals in your body every time. Natural Flavors are so prevalent in the products we buy that it's impossible to avoid them all. We just need to be aware of them and wisely reduce and filter them out. I'm avoiding NF in drinks as a priority. And the problem is Palm Oil, Palm Oil is a vegetable oil, but it has a very high saturated fat content like animal fat, and it is a highly processed, highly refined oil made in factories. Palm Oil can produce trans fats in the process of being converted into hydrogenated oil (a process of adding hydrogen to change liquid vegetable oil into solid fat (hydrogenated oil)), so you have to be extra careful. Palm Oil that enters the body circulates in the blood and is easily deposited in the blood vessels, so it increases the level of cholesterol in the body and causes various vascular diseases (high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, decreased immunity, etc.). Also, in Southeast Asia (Malaysia, etc.), tropical rainforests are being destroyed (Palm Oil Plantation) for palm oil development, destroying the habitats of many animals. It also affects climate change. The more you consume, the larger the scope, so reducing consumption is something we can do. I prioritize it as the oil to avoid first. Thank you for watching the video today! ????
