One spoonful of lard = five pairs of medicines? Does lard do wonders?

Bibimbap, stir-fried vegetables in lard, yang chun noodles with lard.
.
.
Add a little lard when stir-frying, and the taste of the meal is instantly sublimated
.
Especially in the past era of material scarcity, a pot of lard residue is simply "delicious in the world"
.

However, with the improvement of living standards, healthy eating has attracted more and more attention
.
Now we use less lard in our homes, replaced by vegetable oil
.
Many people have heard that excessive intake of lard for a long time may be associated
with cardiovascular disease.

So, is it healthy to eat lard? Is there any nutrition?

Why does lard taste so delicious?

Is there any nutrition?

Lad, the most common animal fat in life, tastes like one word: fragrant
.

Why does lard taste so delicious? Wang Silu, a national senior food inspector, introduced in October 2019 in a popular science China article that in fact, the unique aroma of lard comes from the decomposition products
of special proteins and glycerides in trace amounts.
In addition, lard itself contains more than 40% saturated fatty acids, which will fuse fat, starch and cellulose, making dishes "crispy, crisp, moist and smooth"
.

Lard stir-fry tastes so delicious, so is lard nutritious?

Fu Shufang, a technician at the National Key Laboratory of Cardiovascular Diseases, introduced in a popular science China article in December 2020 that lard is a relatively rich type of food, mainly fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, etc
.

· fatty acid

One scoop of lard contains 5 grams of saturated fat, 5.
8 grams of monounsaturated fat, and 1.
4 grams of polyunsaturated fat
.
From the perspective of fat composition alone, the unsaturated fat content of lard is between
butter and olive oil.

· vitamin

One scoop of lard contains 1,000 international (IU) of vitamin D, second only to cod liver oil
.
Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption, helping the body grow and maintain bone health
.

Lard also contains vitamin A, vitamin B and other essential vitamins, so lard is a relatively nutritious food
.

In addition, lard has high thermal stability compared with other vegetable oils, so it has a high smoke point during cooking and is not easy to decompose to produce some harmful substances
.

lard, in the end, is to protect the cardiovascular,

Or is it cardiovascular harm?

Many people think that "in the past, when there was a lack of materials, they often ate lard, and there were fewer people suffering from heart disease and cardiovascular disease, so eating lard was more conducive to health"
.

Actually, this idea is not correct! The main component of lard is fat, relatively speaking, saturated fat is more, which is also the reason why
lard is criticized as unhealthy.
Because of excessive saturated fat content, it may lead to abnormal lipid metabolism, causing obesity and inducing cardiovascular problems
.

But lard not only contains saturated fat, in 100 grams of lard contains 39 grams of saturated fat, 45 grams of monounsaturated fat, 11 grams of polyunsaturated fat, saturated fat accounts for 40%
of lard.
In contrast, butter has much more saturated fat than lard
.

The margarine, margarine, etc.
added in many desserts contain a large number of trans fatty acids, which is more
harmful to the body.

For cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, it is not the result of a risk factor, but a combination of multiple risk factors, such as hypertension, high blood lipids, high blood sugar, high salt diet, smoking, excessive drinking and other bad living habits and genetic factors and other factors in a comprehensive role
.

One spoonful of lard = five pairs of medicines?

Does lard do wonders?

There are various lard sayings on the Internet, "One spoonful of lard = five pairs of medicines?" ""Lard can detoxify and remove toxins from marine fish such as puffer fish" "Eating lard can fight cancer".
.
.

Wang Silu, a national senior food inspector, introduced in October 2019 in a popular science China article that tetrodotoxin is a non-protein neurotoxin with stable structure and very
strong toxicity.
Household cooking methods (steaming, frying, pickling, etc.
) are not destructive
to tetrodotoxin.
So far, there is no clear specific antidote to
tetrodotoxin.

"Lad" is made from pig fat and has a complex composition, and none of these nutrients have antagonistic tetrodotoxin in
animal experiments.
Therefore, it is not credible
that eating lard can "detoxify".

Many people think that "vegetable oil, heated at high temperature, is easy to produce carcinogens, but lard does not"
.

This statement is outrageously wrong! Wang Silu, a national senior food inspector, introduced that lard itself contains more saturated fatty acids, the content is close to 3 times that of olive oil (the saturated fatty acid content in olive oil is 14%, while the lard is 40%), and the more saturated fatty acid intake, the more will increase the risk of
cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as obesity, hyperlipidemia, and heart disease.

Finally, lard really is not a magic food
.
Lard mainly provides fatty substances and calories to the body, in the end, its flavoring effect is far greater than the nutritional effect
.

Eat lard and remember these points

Fu Shufang, a technician at the National Key Laboratory of Cardiovascular Diseases, introduced in December 2020 in a popular science China article that although lard is rich in a variety of nutrients, it cannot be eaten at every meal, and all foods pay attention to balanced matching, and the same is true for
oil.

1

Do not consume more than 50 grams of lard per day

According to the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents", the amount of saturated fat eaten every day should not exceed 10%
of the total calories.
If you consume 2,000 kcal a day, the saturated fat is controlled within 20 grams, which is converted into lard is about
50 grams.

However, eating other foods such as meat, eggs, milk, and processed foods will consume saturated fat, so lard is still used
as a tonic to eat occasionally.

2

When there are more meat dishes, try to use vegetable oil

There are dishes with more meat in the main meal, such as pig, beef, sheep, chicken, fish, etc.
, and try to use vegetable oil
when stir-frying.
If you usually like meat, try to choose vegetable oil as much as
possible.

3

People who have been vegetarian for a long time can use it in moderation

For vegetarian dishes, you can use a part of lard
.
People who have been vegetarian for a long time can choose vegetable oils or animal oils
that are high in saturated fat.

4

Use as little as possible in patients with cardiovascular disease

For patients with atherosclerosis or people with high blood lipids and hypertension, the proportion of saturated fat intake can be reduced from 10% to 7%.
