Second, the nutritional value of foie gras
Goose fat liver contains 40%-60% fat, which is equivalent to the cream for decorating cakes. Among these fats, unsaturated fatty acids account for 65%-68% of the total fat, while the other third is saturated fatty acids. In addition, every100g of foie gras contains 4.5-7g of lecithin, which is three times that of normal foie gras. Unsaturated fatty acids in goose fatty liver contain copper, triacylglycerol, lecithin, deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid, which have high medicinal value. It can increase enzyme activity in vivo, regulate calcium and phosphorus metabolism, reduce blood cholesterol level, soften blood vessels and prevent cardiovascular diseases. Goose liver is a high cholesterol food, and its saturated fatty acids rich in fat will increase the cholesterol content of human body. As for the business promotion, it will not increase the cholesterol content of human body at all, and it is more for commercial purposes. In food science, it is said that "unsaturated fat is beneficial to reduce the cholesterol content in blood", in fact, because saturated fat will increase cholesterol, and if saturated fat in the diet is replaced by unsaturated fat, it will avoid the "evil" of saturated fat. One-third of foie gras is saturated fat, which increases cholesterol content if eaten.
And those unsaturated fats that you eat together can do nothing about it.
