Many people have the habit of drinking soup after a meal, and many restaurants even specially provide condiments like chopped green onions, coriander, soy sauce, and vinegar for soup drinkers. However, experts have pointed out: the hot pot broth for Shuan Yang Rou (instant-boiled mutton) should not be consumed.
Some people believe that the broth in a Shuan Yang Rou hot pot concentrates the essence of lamb, seafood, and vegetables, making it delicious and nutritious. In fact, it's quite the opposite. After being repeatedly boiled at high temperatures, many nutrients in the same pot of broth are not only destroyed, but some harmful substances to the body can also be formed. A broth that has been boiled many times is actually like the water from a steamer used for steaming buns, and it's a long-known常识 (common sense) that one should not drink that water.
Furthermore, a single Shuan Yang Rou meal usually takes over an hour. Many foods are boiled at high temperatures for extended periods, leading to chemical reactions between them. Relevant studies have proven that the substances produced by these chemical reactions are harmful to the human body and can lead to certain diseases.
