Every year's 3.15 party has attracted people's attention, it has always been in the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and this year's 3.15 party also revealed the "problem food" hiding around us, such as the mouth-watering "plum cabbage button meat".
For the pre-made dishes sold by some merchants, plum cabbage button meat, they actually use inferior trough meat, what will happen if you eat such meat?
Let's take a look at what is trough meat?
Trough meat, also known as "bloody neck meat" and "knife meat" in folklore, refers to the meat that connects the pig's head to the torso. Some people may say that it is all meat from pigs, so why can't it be eaten in this place?
In fact, there are also relevant explanations in life, such as the trough head meat is because there are more lymph nodes in it, and it has produced lesions, so eating it is harmful to health.
However, from a scientific point of view, the head meat is not a lymph node, because the lymph nodes are scattered in many places on the body, but the lymph nodes on the pig's neck are more concentrated than other parts.
At the same time, a concept that everyone needs to know is that only diseased lymph nodes will be toxic, that is, the role of lymph nodes in pigs is immune function and hematopoiesis, in short, it is a place to filter viruses, bacteria, and pathogens.
If the pig that has developed the disease, whether it is the neck meat or other places, it cannot be eaten, and if it is eaten in large quantities, it will indeed increase the health risk. However, if it is a healthy pig, and in accordance with the provisions of the National Standard of the People's Republic of China (GB/T 17236-2019) Livestock and Poultry Slaughtering Operation Regulations for Pigs, it is a safe practice to remove lymph nodes, adrenal glands, residual thyroids, etc., and then cook and mature at full high temperature.
However, we need to be careful that if the lymph nodes, adrenal glands, and residual thyroid gland are not treated, there is a possibility of thyrotoxication when you come to eat, which is manifested as abnormalities of the nervous system, cardiovascular system, digestive system, hematopoietic system, reproductive system, etc., such as anxiety, irritability, memory loss, arrhythmia, significant weight loss, decreased menstruation or amenorrhea, etc.
For the sake of their own safety, it is not recommended that everyone often eat the plum vegetable button meat cooked in a small restaurant outside, and should try to choose a safe restaurant to eat, or make it at home.
On the one hand, plum cabbage is high in calories, especially pork with three layers of flowers, which can easily lead to dyslipidemia and increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
On the other hand, a lot of plum vegetables and meat will be put into a lot of salt, sugar, etc., which will undoubtedly increase the metabolic burden of the body, and it is advisable for everyone to eat less.
