The beauty of the | is great
There are some foods that are neither poisonous nor bad,
The point is that it's still so delicious,
How did it become "garbage"?
Xiaobian can't help but help these delicious foods
Shout a few wrongs!
Let's come and have a look.
Take a look!
Let's take stock with xiaobian,
What junk food can be eaten boldly!
01 Instant noodles
Instant noodles in daily life are a lazy gospel, but this is also the first junk food in the eyes of many people!
Rumors circulate that instant noodles are junk food – preservatives, carcinogens, barrels of internal waxing and more.
So are these true? Of course not. This claim is a rumor.
First, instant noodles are divided into fried and non-fried bread
- Fried dough cake is dehydrated and hardened after high temperature frying at 130 ° C ~ 140 ° C, and the moisture content is as low as only 3% to 4%;
- Non-fried dough cakes are dehydrated and dried by hot air, vacuum and other processes. Vegetable packets are also dried and dehydrated, in a sealed and dry environment, will not breed bacteria, where to add preservatives?
Secondly, the high oil and high salt environment of the sauce package also has a certain bacteriostatic effect.
Even if some sauce packages are filled with preservatives, the content is within the scope of safety standards stipulated by the state, so it is harmless to the human body. As long as it is a qualified product purchased from a formal channel, you can eat it with confidence and boldness!
Second, the statement that "instant noodles cause cancer" is also too one-sided.
In the processing of instant noodles, a substance called "acrylamide" (which the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer lists as a "potential carcinogen") is indeed produced. But only when a certain amount is reached, the risk of carcinogenesis may be increased.
The content of acrylamide in instant noodles is small, and it cannot reach the carcinogenic amount, and normal consumption has no effect on the body.
Third, some people say that the waxing on the inner wall of barreled instant noodles will attach to the stomach wall, will not digest, and affect health.
This is actually a rumor!
The inner wall of the regular and qualified barreled instant noodle paper drum is made of food grade polyethylene (PE) material, which must meet the national standard.
Features of this level of material:
Therefore, this material is safe and reliable, and everyone can rest assured!
However, Xiaobian also does not encourage everyone to eat instant noodles as rice, and it is no problem to eat them several times when they are hungry or inconvenient to go out.
Health tips
It is recommended to choose "non-fried instant noodles" with relatively little oil as much as possible, and then eat them with other healthy ingredients such as vegetables, meat and eggs, so that you can not only feast and be more nutritionally balanced.
02 Hamburg
Most people feel that burgers are junk food because of the high calories generated during cooking:
After the meatloaf is fried at high temperatures, there is too much fat, too little vegetables, and a lot of fat and pop sauce. At first glance, it really doesn't look healthy.
But is it really junk food?
In fact, the consumption of burgers with drinks and other fried foods, such as cola, fries, cheese with high fat content, and mayonnaise, is the real reason why burgers become junk food.
The patties in the burger provide plenty of protein, and the vegetables in the middle are small but also contain vitamins.
If the way of eating is properly controlled, it can also become a "healthy food". So how can you eat it with confidence and boldness?
Xiaobian suggests that you match like this: when buying a burger, you can add a little more lettuce, choose a vegetable salad set, and try to avoid fries + cola + chicken and rice + high-fat sauce.
Reasonable collocation is king! If you eat a burger, adjust your dietary intake for the next meal, such as eating low-fat foods, legumes, eggs, milk, or whole grain bread, to achieve a relative balance of nutrition throughout the day. Then it's not junk food for you.
03 Canned
Canned food has been around for over 200 years.
During Napoleon's conquests until World War II, materials were scarce, and a Frenchman named Nicolas Appel invented the initial canned food in 1804, which allowed food to be preserved for a longer time, so that countless civilians and soldiers in Europe and the United States and other countries could replenish their daily energy through canning in their busy time.
But why is it that today, canned food is mistaken for junk food?
The can in the eyes of the public is like this:
But in fact, our "stereotypes of canned food" over the years have all been wrong.
The making of cans is very simple. First of all, the food that needs to be sealed and the packaging cans are fully heat sterilized to kill all microorganisms. Then put the sterile food into a sterile container and seal it while it is hot.
This treatment kills the microorganisms carried by the food itself, and the sealing also prevents external microorganisms from entering the tank. Moreover, before the can leaves the factory, it will undergo a long period of high temperature sterilization, and clean hygiene can be fully guaranteed.
In addition, today's can sealing skills are so skilled that they can preserve food for a long time without the need for preservatives.
According to the relevant provisions of the "National Standard for Food Safety And the Use Standard for Food Additives" (GB 2760-2014) issued by the mainland, the addition of preservatives is strictly prohibited in canned fruit and aquatic products, and the amount allowed for other types of canned food is also very small, which will not endanger personal health.
Some canned foods are more nutritious than fresh ones!
Because most of the canned food is made with fresh ingredients from the season, it is made locally. For example, it takes only 6 hours for canned yellow peaches from picking to sealing and canning. It is much fresher than the ingredients in supermarkets that have been transported long distances and face wear and tear at any time.
The carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and other trace elements in canned food can be well preserved to fully meet the nutrients needed by the human body. Therefore, under normal circumstances, canned food can be eaten with confidence.
04 Spicy and scalding
Spicy and hot
Spicy scalding is a very affordable food, which can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, and is widely loved by the public. Take a sip of a steaming soup pot, add vegetables and tofu or meat products, and after a few minutes, scoop it up, heat up a large bowl, and eat it all over the body.
Why is spicy hot food considered junk food?
One of the main reasons is that many spicy hot shops will mix vegetables and meat products, which does not guarantee that the meat is fully cooked, and the dishes are often placed in the open, which cannot guarantee a sterile environment.
But in fact, the practice of boiling like spicy scalding not only allows the nutrients in vegetables to be retained, but also destroys bacteria in a good way.
Suggestion:
- Eat spicy hot as much as possible to choose those regular shops;
- When choosing dishes, pay attention to the balanced combination of staple foods and meat and vegetarian dishes, so as to diversify the ingredients;
- Processed products of the ball category, whose raw materials and quality are different, it is recommended to eat less;
- Let the meat and vegetables be cooked separately;
- Try to choose clear soup, less spicy;
- Eat the hot food after a while.
Remember – not numb, not spicy, not hot! In this case, my mother will never say that spicy hot food is junk food.
Therefore, whether it is junk food, we can not only look at the surface division, blindly treat all processed food or fast food as "junk food" is also a lack of scientific basis.
These clean and non-toxic foods can not only provide nutrition and convenience for everyone, but also become a source of energy for modern healthy diets.
