Xiaohang is a high school student, and this year is the most critical year: senior year. It is almost the college entrance examination, the children's learning tasks are heavy, and the preparation pressure is high, so Xiaohang's diet has become a major event in the hearts of the whole family.
Because his home is near the high school, Xiao Hang has always been a day student and goes home to enjoy the care of his family. During the day, the parents are dual workers, so the grandparents contract the grandchildren's meals. Only at night when I was hungry from studying, my parents came to prepare something for Xiao Hang to eat.
Grandparents are distressed by their grandchildren, and every day they dig out their minds and give them something good to eat. On this day, the grandson directly praised the aroma of the meal, and the grandfather smiled and said: Fragrant. Eat a little more and make up for it.
After eating at home for a while, the couple found that there was an extra jar of white lard in the kitchen. When I asked, I learned that it was the oil that Grandpa had specially refined for Xiao Hang and stayed up for most of the day.
As soon as Xiao Hang's father heard this, his face darkened, and his voice grew louder: "How can I give my child lard?" How bad this is for cardiovascular disease. ”
Grandpa was also unhappy: "I've eaten all my life, isn't it okay?" Everyone says that one spoonful of lard is worth five pairs of medicines. The old saying can be false, and this can also be detoxified. Before people who had high blood pressure these diseases! ”
Xiao Hang's father didn't make sense, and the next day, taking advantage of the old man's lack of attention, he threw a large jar of lard directly. A big quarrel broke out in the family over this. Don't you just have a meal, Sun Tzu was annoyed by the two factions of speech and slammed the door.
Lard, there are two faces in the living population. One is rumored to be a cardiovascular killer. One, it is the embodiment of the five pairs of medicines as the old saying goes. What is the truth, after all?
The food that was worse than Dou'e --- lard
Lard has a nickname called Cardiovascular Killer. Among them, there is nothing to promote the BBC and the World Health Organization.
But you know what? In 2018, the BBC also made a report listing lard as one of the "Top Ten Nutritious and Healthy Foods of the Year"! The researchers evaluated 1,000 foods and listed the 100 most nutritious foods.
Guess, after lard came on the list, it ranked first? It was actually the eighth place!
What the hell is going on here! After a while, it is as if people have eaten lard, and the heart and brain blood vessels will be blocked into cement. After a while, he held the lard high and said that it was both nutritious and healthy.
It will not be those vegetable oil manufacturers who instill the idea that vegetable oil is healthier than animal oil in order to sell themselves...
In fact, lard is indeed over-interpreted. Lard is not only fragrant, moderate consumption not only does not pose a health risk, but also provides the body with the energy it needs.
The reason why lard tastes so delicious is actually because it contains some special proteins and glycerol ester decomposition products.
In one bite, the oil, starch, and cellulose merge into one, not to mention how delicious the food in the mouth is.
And lard contains fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and other ingredients. Otherwise, the BBC would not have ranked it as the eighth most nutritious and healthy food after the evaluation.
As the old saying goes, "a spoonful of lard is equal to five pairs of medicines", and eating it can also detoxify and maintain health. In fact, it is an exaggeration of the nutritional value of lard.
In previous years, the general living conditions of the people were relatively difficult. The overall total fat intake is not large, but it also requires a lot of physical labor to consume.
At this time, lard with high nutritional value is no longer a "cardiovascular killer", animal fat can provide enough energy for people, and natural saturated fat prevents the deposition of calcium in the arteries and improves resistance.
And now, life is better, every day is moving less, the body fat accumulation, further laying hidden dangers for health problems. So the root of the problem lies in the "quantity".
If your heart and cerebrovascular health, you can ensure a certain amount of exercise, so that your body to maintain a state of energy consumption. Why can't you eat the right amount of lard?
The $700 million investment in the U.S. low-fat diet experiment failed utterly
Many people have a prejudice against lard such as "poison", also because the fat content of lard and lard residue is too high. A low-fat diet is good for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease!
Did you know that? In 2006, the United States spent $700 million and spent eight years studying low-fat diets on nearly 50,000 women with diabetes.
As a result, everyone was amazed!
In eight years, 40% of the group implemented a low-fat diet, reduced fat intake, and increased the intake of vegetables, fruits and grains. However, this did not reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, or even worse.
So in 2015, the U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee revised its recommendations for the first time--- not recommending a low-fat diet to prevent obesity and disease.
What's scary is not vegetable oil/lard, but trans fats
So what is really worth fearing? In fact, it is trans fat.
Now people who can use lard to stir-fry vegetables can be called large households.
In the first two years, the price of lard soared, and the value of lard also soared.
Now the price is stable, but self-refining lard at home requires a large pot operation, which is not very convenient. Far from being as cost-effective and convenient as going to the supermarket to buy a bottle of ready-made vegetable oil.
Many people eat lard residue as many times as we think.
But you may be stuffing trans fatty acids into your mouth every day.
It's hidden in bread eaten in the morning, high-temperature fried at noon, and all kinds of sauces and cream salads that you go to the supermarket to buy.
The harm of trans fatty acids does not need me to repeat it. If you want to be in good health, don't blindly push the fault on lard and vegetable oil. You should also look at your cooking methods and consumption to see if there are any problems.
No matter how good and healthy the ingredients, if they encounter the wrong way of cooking, excessive consumption will produce health risks.
Dr.X said
Don't kill a boatload of people with a stick. Lard itself has a certain nutritional value, but I already have cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and I can't control my mouth and can't open my legs. People who are healthy and can control their mouths and open their legs will not have any problems if they eat lard in moderation.
