The downsides of cream: This stuff increases women's cancer risk, and doctors absolutely won't eat it. Cream is something many people eat, but it's an ingredient that even doctors shy away from. Why is that? Next, the editor will introduce you to why doctors would never eat this stuff nor let their families eat it.
1. Unfavorable for the growth and development of adolescents, inducing diabetes
The "cream" in China's national standards is mainly composed of fat extracted from fresh milk. Doctors say that margarine is mainly processed and extracted from edible oils, so it contains a relatively high amount of fat, especially trans fatty acids. Consuming large amounts of trans fatty acids can affect human memory, and for adolescents, it can affect the development of the central nervous system. Long-term excessive accumulation of trans fatty acids can also induce serious diseases such as asthma, tumors, and diabetes.
2. Increases the incidence of breast cancer
Margarine does not contain high levels of cholesterol and calories like animal cream, but it contains a large amount of trans fatty acids, which can increase the content of low-density lipoproteins, thereby reducing the density of high-density lipoproteins. Therefore, it increases the risk of coronary heart disease and breast cancer. Although the hazards of margarine are numerous, it is popular among businesses and customers because of its refreshing taste, sweetness without being greasy, and its resistance to spoilage.
3. Severely damages human memory function
Trans fatty acids can seriously affect human memory because they inhibit a type of cholesterol that can promote human memory. Trans fatty acids hardly exist in the human body and are not easily digested and absorbed, so they tend to accumulate in the abdomen, leading to obesity. Therefore, friends who want to lose weight should preferably not eat cream, so as not to affect your weight loss results.
4. Damages fertility
Trans fatty acids can also reduce the secretion of male hormones and negatively affect sperm motility, thereby interrupting the physiological activity of sperm in the human body. Trans fatty acids can also hinder the absorption of fatty acids in children and young people who are in a period of growth and development. Excessive consumption can also lead to poor development of the central nervous system. Therefore, margarine-containing foods are not high-quality foods, and it is recommended that people minimize their contact with such foods. Even if you want to eat them, do so in a way that does not affect your health.
Things doctors absolutely will not give their families to eat!
1. Seafood products
Artificial seafood products like fish balls, shrimp balls, and crab sticks are must-haves for most people when eating hot pot, but the truth is that these meatballs contain very little meat, or even no meat at all! They belong to junk food! A single meatball contains more than ten kinds of additives such as edible gelatin, essence, pigment, and whitening agent!
2. Puffed foods
Puffed foods like snow cakes, potato chips, shrimp strips, and chicken strips are mainly made from grains and tubers, so their main nutritional component is carbohydrates. They are high in fat, calories, salt, sugar, and contain a lot of MSG, belonging to the "five highs and one more" category. Moreover, artificial puffed foods often use膨化 agents, which contain large amounts of lead and aluminum, causing damage to the nervous system.
3. Gelatinous foods
Gelatinous foods like jelly and pudding are made from water, sugar, and thickeners. To make them smooth, they often contain additives like agar and carrageenan, which cannot be digested and absorbed by the human body and may remain in the intestines of people with poor digestion. Although these gelatinous substances are harmless to the human body and will eventually be excreted, they can affect the absorption of minerals such as calcium and zinc, which is detrimental to health.
4. Pastry and shortbread foods
To achieve a "crispy" and "crunchy" texture, foods like egg tarts, chocolate tarts, and apple tarts require the addition of a large amount of fat during production. Therefore, the fat content in these foods is very high, generally reaching 25% to 40%. They can easily induce chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
5. Canned tomato sauce
The resin in the lining of the cans contains bisphenol, a synthetic estrogen that can cause a range of ailments from reproductive diseases to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Research has found that bisphenol levels in most people's bodies exceed the safe limit, which can inhibit sperm growth or damage chromosomes. There are 50 micrograms of polyphenols per liter of canned tomatoes, which is enough to affect people's health, especially young people.
