"I can't drink this feed anymore. It feels different from normal drinks. It feels floating in the air!"

Ding Wei still nodded back.

"Did you see that? That short guy is the new owner of this bar, and this bar's business is miraculously booming. "

Ding Wei didn't say anything. His eyes were fixated on the short figure that was talking to the waiter at the front of the bar. From the back, he really did look like Chen Huan. When Ding Wei confirmed it was Li You Chun, he immediately made a call to Little Gao.

Immediately, the police opened the door at lightning speed and rushed into the shop for arrest and search.

A middle-aged man hid to the side and drank his drink as if nothing had happened, his face full of excitement. When the people inside saw the police, they immediately scattered and wanted to escape, but they were blocked by the police at the door. They signed their names one by one and ordered them to leave.

After the on-site search, the police temporarily transferred the suspect Li Youchun to the police station under the jurisdiction and locked him up.

When Shen Yuan asked him about his experience this time, he first smiled bitterly, then recounted his experience in the bar and thought that the toxicology analysis might not find anything out with a single bottle, because Gadofi had to use a mixture of Gadoji drinks to get excited.

"You mean that when you mix the two, it produces something especially exciting?" Shen Yuan asked.

Ding Wei nodded and handed Shen Yuan a few bottles of Gadofi and Gadoji drinks that he had received. He asked him to drink them in four different situations, slowly experiencing different tastes: 1) just Gadoji, 2) just Gadofi, 3) slowly add Gadofi into Gadofi's drink, 4, mixed the two bottles before drinking them again.

After testing four effects, Shen Yuan said, "Yes, it's indeed magical. Drinking Gadoji drinks is no different from other drinks, it's true that drinking Gadoji drinks makes one thirsty, and seeping Gadoji drinks into Gaddofi drinks can slowly stimulate one's emotions, this is a slow process, but it can also slowly produce excitement. This kind of excitement is different from just drinking caffeine, it can produce a feeling that makes one a little bit flying, after drinking a lot of the two drinks, the effects of flying can be clearly felt."

"For a man who enters a bar for the first time, it is the third way to induce interest in something like this. For example, giving you a drink with a pure beauty for free, letting you unconsciously get a good impression of it, and getting excited when you drink enough of it, is a way to gradually get ahead of yourself. When you get used to this kind of stimulation, you're not satisfied with it. You're going to use a fourth way. "" No, I'm not. "" No, no. At the bar, the guests usually sought excitement and excitement, and with the help of a good dancer, the whole scene began to shake. At that time, you will feel very excited, a kind of selfless state, a kind of soul out of the body feeling, in life in the disappointment, depression and the loss will disappear. It can be said to be a soul-numbing drug that escapes the mortal world. " Ding Wei said.

"So there must be something shady about Gadoji."

"That may not be so. You can ask Professor Fan of Central South University's Testing Center to help you with the testing. He has been engaged in testing and researching for over 30 years, and has seen all kinds of poisonous substances and additives. "I think, as long as we explain the whole process clearly, Professor Fan will definitely discover the mystery behind it."

Together, Ding Wei and Yang Xue sent a mixture of Gadoji, Gadofi, and Yang Xue to Professor Fan of Central South University's testing center, requesting an examination of their safety and possible components of neural excitability. The results showed that the mixture produced trace amounts of the second-class national psychotropic drug, sodium benzoate. The source of the reactants was caffeine in Gadofi and sodium benzoate in Gadoji. When the two drinks were mixed, the reactants reacted to form coffee.

"Professor Fan said that, in terms of their respective ingredients before mixing, caffeine in Gadfly's beverage acts as a stimulant and sodium benzoate in Gadfly's beverage as a dissolving agent to help the body absorb it," he said. If the two mix sodium benzoate and caffeine in a 1: 1 ratio, there will be a neuroexcitatory effect that is much stronger than caffeine. " Shen Yuan said.

"Clinically, it is a central stimulant used primarily to treat central respiratory and circulatory dysfunction, but similar to caffeine, it also has drug dependence and toxic side effects. In 2007, the National Food and Drug Administration (NDA) listed sodium benzoate as a second-class psychotropic drug, which is strictly regulated by the State. In fact, as early as 2001, beverage companies added caffeine and sodium benzoate to their drinks in proportion to be classified as' illegal additions' by the National Food and Drug Administration. On Feb. 15, 2012, the National Food and Drug Administration issued a notice on the results of the beverage test: A caffeine plus a sodium benzoate is not sodium benzoate, but only when the two substances are made in accordance with national drug standards and related requirements. Therefore, the caffeine and sodium benzoate content of Gadofi and Gadoji beverage must be controlled well, and some skill is needed when mixing. The production of the sodium curry has given consumers a certain degree of dependence on it, i.e., thirst and excitement, which, although far worse than regular drugs, are enough to cause the sales of Gadoji and Gadofi beverages to skyrocket. " Yang Xue said.

For this reason, Xiangjiang Evening News reporter Yang specifically interviewed Gadoji Drink company manager Zhou Zhiqiang.

"Does Gadfly's also belong to your company's products?" the reporter asked.

"Strictly speaking, this is a beverage that Mr. Chen Huan controls and invests in. Their company is responsible for the development of the formula and process flow. Our company is responsible for the production and quality control of the product." Zhou Zhiqiang said.

"Did you take into account the possibility that the combination of the two might be harmful to the human body?"

"Although the two beverages contain sodium benzoate and caffeine, respectively, when mixed they may produce caffeine, but at 250 ml per bottle, the contents of both are small enough to meet national standards. It is safe as long as the criteria are met, regardless of the content of sodium benzoate and caffeine. " Zhou Zhiqiang replied.

"Does that mean that when you make the two beverages, the combination of sodium benzoate and caffeine does produce caffeine, but it doesn't produce enough to harm the human body?"

"Sodium benzoate acts only as a preservative or as an auxiliary solvent and has no pharmacological effect. From the available information, there is no information about the production process of sodium enemate and other catalyst components. Therefore, we do not accept the accusations that have been levelled at us from all walks of life. " Zhou Zhiqiang said.

"Experts say it is not the issue whether or not a beverage forms a sodium benzoate, but the amount of caffeine that causes the central nervous system stimulant in the drink is the key. "How do you explain that?" the reporter asked.

"A Red Bull beverage has a caffeine content of 50 mg, equivalent to only one-third of the caffeine content of the tablet. The maximum amount of caffeine given to patients was 4 tablets per day, and the caffeine content was 600 mg. Caffeine in beverages is far less than the amount consumed in the medicinal Oncovy Curry. Do you think there's a problem with our caffeine content? " Zhou Zhiqiang replied.

The reporter asked: "Among the food, sodium benzoate is a common preservative, with the effect of preventing metamorphic acid and prolonging the shelf life, which is widely used all over the world. However, its toxicity concerns have limited its use in recent years, such as Japan's Food Safety Act, which does not include sodium benzoate in the use of food additives. We found that the Gadoji functional beverage sent for testing contained sodium benzoate, but no preservatives were labeled in the ingredient list. 'Potassium sorbate is safer than sodium benzoate, 'a professor at the Food School of South China Agricultural University told us,' in accordance with the National Food Additive Standard and within the limit. Since sodium benzoate and caffeine have concerns about sodium benzoate in beverages, and potassium sorbate is more safe than sodium benzoate, why not add doggie instead? "
