In daily life, everyone must have heard many rumors about food. For example, "eggs have high cholesterol, which can lead to cardiovascular disease", "women are easy to be targeted by breast cancer if they drink soybean milk frequently", "eating ginger at night is better than arsenic", and so on. Is it true or false? Next, let's talk about it!

Eggs are the root cause of cardiovascular disease? Many people believe that eggs are a "cardiovascular curse" because the cholesterol they contain makes them feel scared. Eggs do belong to foods with high cholesterol content: an egg (50 grams) contains approximately 141-234 milligrams of cholesterol, with most of the cholesterol concentrated in the yolk. In the impression of many people, cholesterol is the culprit leading to cardiovascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease.

In fact, the synthesis of cholesterol in a healthy human body can be self regulated. If you consume more cholesterol, the amount of synthesis in the body will decrease, while the breakdown will increase; Less intake leads to more synthesis and less decomposition. The abnormal blood lipids in the human body are mainly caused by factors such as endocrine or lipid metabolism disorders, hypertension, body weight, and insufficient activity. In other words, there is no need to demonize eggs. Eating them appropriately will not have any adverse effects on health. According to the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2022)", the recommended daily intake of eggs for adults in China is 40-50 grams. In terms of conversion, it is recommended to eat 1 egg per day and no more than 7 eggs per week. However, to prevent excessive dietary cholesterol from having adverse effects on health, individuals with high blood lipids should strictly limit their cholesterol intake. Therefore, people with hyperlipidemia should try to eat less egg yolk.

Drink soybean milk often, can you attract breast cancer? The reason for this statement mainly comes from a rumor that soybeans contain a large amount of estrogen, and excessive intake can promote breast hyperplasia. In fact, the so-called "estrogen" contained in soybean milk is actually soybean isoflavones. This substance is structurally similar to estrogen and is therefore considered to have estrogenic effects, known as phytoestrogens. But its effect is relatively weak, and its function cannot be compared to hormonal drugs.

Moreover, soy isoflavones have a two-way regulatory effect: that is, when human estrogen is insufficient or excessive, it can help improve female endocrine, but will reduce the risk of estrogen related tumors such as breast cancer and uterine fibroids. Therefore, it is healthy for ordinary women to drink soybean milk regularly.

Does pig liver and duck neck contain toxins? Let's talk about pig liver first. As a metabolic organ, the liver needs to handle various metabolic waste and toxins. If the pigs you raise get sick, or if you overuse antibiotics or contaminated feed (such as excessive heavy metals), harmful substances may actually remain in the liver. However, if we pay attention to purchasing and cooking methods in our daily lives, we can enjoy delicious food and eat with peace of mind: purchase: do not buy from unlicensed small vendors, try to purchase from standardized food markets or supermarkets; Treatment: Ensure repeated rinsing and immerse in water for 1-2 hours to thoroughly remove scattered blood and bile in the hepatic sinuses and ducts; Cooking: During the cooking process, do not blindly pursue a smooth and tender taste. Pig liver must be fully heated and cooked.

Say duck neck again. Duck necks do indeed have lymphoid tissue, known as lymph nodes. But these lymph nodes, usually eaten after being fully heated, are not very harmful to health. If you really don't trust me, the lymphatic tissue is all subcutaneous. Just peel off the skin when eating.

Is Fish Head a 'Heavy Metal Collector'? Under normal circumstances, eating fish heads is safe. Because fish expel toxins through their gills, liver, kidneys, and other organs, it is not related to the fish head. However, if the water and ecological food chain where fish live are polluted, or if poor breeders illegally add certain chemicals to fish feed, it may to some extent increase the harmful substances in the fish body, such as pesticides, pathogenic microorganisms, and heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, chromium, lead, and arsenic. At this point, the entire fish, including its head, has been contaminated, and toxins and other toxins have accumulated in the fish's body for a long time, making it difficult to excrete and truly unsuitable for human consumption. So, whether a fish head is toxic mainly depends on whether its growth environment is safe.

Suggestion for healthy eating of fish heads: Purchasing from a legitimate, government regulated market can maximize food safety. Try to choose smaller fish. Because larger fish are either at the high end of the biological chain or older, they naturally store more harmful substances (such as lead, cadmium, mercury, etc.) in their bodies, which has a greater impact on the human body. When cooking fish heads, be sure to cook them well and thoroughly.

Eat ginger at night, match arsenic? Actually, this is a misunderstanding. Think about it, there are also many dishes for dinner that are stir fried with ginger. If that's the case, isn't it already deeply poisoned? Whether you can eat ginger at night depends on your physical condition, as arsenic poisoning is too exaggerated.

Traditional Chinese medicine theory holds that there is a distinction between cold and heat in a person's constitution. Therefore, people with different constitutions are also suitable for eating ginger at different times: people with a small deviation between cold and heat generally should not eat ginger at night, otherwise it is harmful to their health; People with high chills often feel all kinds of coldness or fear of coldness throughout their bodies. Drinking a bowl of ginger soup at night can help them sleep; People with high heat, that is, their bodies often exhibit various manifestations of heat, and they should not eat ginger during the day or night. In short, whether you can eat ginger at night depends on your physical condition and cannot be generalized. The above illustrations are all sourced from Yitu Network.
