每天5杯咖啡 患糖尿病风险高
每天5杯咖啡 患糖尿病风险高
澳大利亚一项研究发现，咖啡不宜多喝，每天喝5杯咖啡，可能会提高肥胖与患上糖尿病的风险。
咖啡中含有绿原酸（chlorogenic acid），这种物质能够降低体脂肪、血压与糖尿病风险，但如果摄取太多，会带来反效果。研究显示，日饮5杯咖啡的老鼠，腹部周围的内脏脂肪（visceral fat）倍增，胰岛素抗阻（insulin resistance）也提高了。

11 Taiwan food products recalled
11 Taiwan food products recalled
A total of 11 starch-based food products from Taiwan have been taken off shop shelves after they tested positive for maleic acid, an unapproved food additive.
The Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) said yesterday that most of the affected products are tapioca starch balls used in the preparation of bubble-tea beverages.
The products include Hong brand tapioca starch, Ting Long tapioca pearls and Sun Chi brand noodles.
AVA said it has informed the importers of the affected products to "withdraw them from sale immediately and withdrawal has been completed". Consumers who have bought these products should either return them to the retailer or discard them.
Last week, AVA said that Sunright brand tapioca balls have been recalled as it was found by the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration to have traces of maleic acid.
AVA said it then conducted tests on 66 other similar food products from Taiwan, and maleic acid was present in 11 of them. Long-term consumption of high levels of maleic acid can cause kidney damage, it said.

11种食材被令停售 多数是泡泡茶“珍珠”
11种食材被令停售 多数是泡泡茶“珍珠”
购买了这些食材的消费者应立即把食品丢掉。（农粮局提供）
台湾“毒淀粉”事件继续延烧，新加坡农粮与兽医局检验另外66样产品后，下令停售11种含未经批准食物添加剂的原食材。本地“泡泡茶”业者表示不受影响。
农粮局昨午表示，这11种食品中，多数都是“泡泡茶”业者会使用的木薯粉圆，也就是“珍珠奶茶”里的“珍珠”。
这些食品因含有未经批准的食物添加剂“顺丁烯二酸”（maleic acid），而被当局下令停售及回收。进口商已完成回收动作。
发言人指出，偶尔食用“顺丁烯二酸”不会对人体健康有很明显的危害，但长期食用大量的“顺丁烯二酸”，将导致肾衰竭。
农粮局建议购买这些食材的消费者，把食材退还给零售商，或直接把食品丢掉。
农粮局本月17日已下令停售及回收从台湾进口的日正牌（Sunright）“波霸粉圆”，并展开针对其他相关台湾进口食品的检验。在那之后，本地两家源自台湾的“泡泡茶”业者，“贡茶”和KOI，都在上周上载了经台湾当局检验的报告，到其官方面簿上，向本地消费者确保本地“泡泡茶”食材的安全。
“贡茶”营运董事吴志清昨午受询时指出，“贡茶”最近已接受农粮局的抽样检查，没有得到通知需停售产品，因此他相信“贡茶”所使用的食材是不受影响的安全食材。
KOI营运部负责人黄庭亿通过简讯回复本报询问时说，KOI会完全配合农粮局的调查，因为昨天是星期天，因此，KOI的台湾总公司今天（星期一）才会做出说明。
台湾媒体报道，台湾当局连日稽查有问题的淀粉，波及粉圆、肉圆、粿条、豆花等多种食品。目前在台湾大学念书的新加坡籍学生林俐贤说，她看了这些报道后，她会减少吃这类食品。
停售的所有12种产品
日正牌（Sunright）的木薯圆“波霸粉圆”
日正牌（Sunright）的“水磨在来米粉”
阿甘绿茶（Pure Tea）（白）“珍珠粉圆”
阿甘绿茶（Pure Tea）（黑）“珍珠粉圆”
鸿凯食品（Hong Kai Foods）的蕃薯粉 / 地瓜粉
Possmei International的“Redman”木薯珍珠
上旺食品行的“Top 1”木薯珍珠
Grand Chainly Enterprises的“Tea World”（茶本铺）黑珍珠
Ting Long木薯珍珠
上智（Sun Chi）制面厂的“关庙面”
安利司（An Li Si）的“珍珠粉圆”
没有列明商牌的粉圆

10 fall prey to 'JB Lucky Draw' scam since April
10 fall prey to 'JB Lucky Draw' scam since April
Some 10 Singaporeans have fallen victim to the 'Johor Bahru Lucky Draw' scam since April 2013.
This is more than the total number of people scammed in the first three months of this year.
Most victims fall prey at the bridge linking Woodlands Customs and JB's City Square.
Scammers would approach the victims, telling them that they have won a lucky draw prize.
They would then ask the victims to withdraw money from their bank account to pay for taxes or administrative fees in collect the prize.
Some would offer victims a ride back to their country, where the victim can make the withdrawal.
'Madam Lee', a victim who lost S$12,000, said: "I told him that I had only a few thousand dollars in my savings account. I told him that I couldn't get any cash advance with my credit card.
"They said that they would only take a look at it, scan the card number, and then return the card to me. But they lied. I was told there wouldn't be any interest charged, that when I withdrew the money, they'd put it back immediately."
The police remind the public to be vigilant of "get-rich-quick" offers and lucky draws that come with payment.
Victims are advised to make a report at the nearest police station in the country where the scam took place.
