Tam Dunzi pointed out that most commercial hand-shaken beverages contain excessive sugar, especially acidic fruits like lemon, which require vendors to add more sugar to neutralize the sourness. For example, "Emerald Lemon" contains 15 cubes of sugar. Doctor Chen Huangguang warns that these sugary drinks not only contribute to obesity but may also trigger chronic inflammation and cancer. Therefore, the public should pay special attention to beverages containing acidic ingredients like lemon when choosing hand-shaken drinks.
Tam Dun-Tze mentioned that most commercially available hand-shaken drinks are sugary beverages, especially those that prefer using acidic fruits like lemons. To balance the acidity, vendors typically add more sugar. For example, a cup of "Jade Lemon" contains the equivalent of 15 sugar cubes. In addition, Dr. Chen Huang-Kuang stated that a large amount of sugar is required during the production process of lemon juice drinks, which not only increases the risk of obesity but may also lead to chronic inflammation in the body, potentially triggering cancer. Nurse Tam Dun-Tze of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital emphasized in a health program that added sugars are considered to have significant health hazards, and the high sugar content in hand-shaken drinks is particularly pronounced when using acidic fruits. Therefore, she advises consumers to be cautious when choosing lemon-based hand-shaken drinks. She pointed out that drinks like "Jade Lemon" and "DuoDuo Green Tea" contain as much as 15 and 14 sugar cubes, respectively. Added sugars not only lead to obesity but can also trigger various chronic diseases, including cancer. Chen Huang-Kuang, director of the Department of Preventive Medicine at Cathay General Hospital, also mentioned that when commercially available hand-shaken drinks contain acidic fruits like lemons, more sugar is needed to mask the sourness, resulting in a higher sugar content than regular hand-shaken drinks, thus posing a more significant health risk.
