Duck necks are a favorite delicacy among many gourmets, but a recent rumor has alarmed those who love duck necks. Rumor has it that "duck necks have a lot of lymph. Eating too much is bad for your health and may even cause cancer!" Is this true?

Duck has a lot of lymph nodes on its neck. Will long-term consumption cause cancer? is that true? ! The editor will solve this mystery for everyone today. First of all, there are rumors that ducks have lymph on their necks, which is not true. Lymph is well developed in mammals but has degenerated in ducks (birds). The amount of lymph found in ducks' armpits and upper thighs is negligible. So it is incorrect to say that ducks have a lot of lymph in their necks.

So, what is this flesh-colored ball of tissue we usually see on the neck of a live duck? It's the thymus. The thymus is also an immune organ, and if it is too large, ducks may have inflammation. The thymus is attached to the duck's skin, so it can be removed when we handle live ducks. The duck neck in the fast food we usually eat has the skin removed, so there is no thymus. In addition to ducks, it is also best to wash the skin on the necks of chickens and geese that you usually eat.

It is wrong to say that fast food duck necks cause cancer, but the editor reminds everyone that even if duck necks are harmless, they should not be eaten. A reasonable diet and balanced nutrition are a healthy lifestyle.

There is no basis for this statement to prove that eating duck neck is related to lymphoma. The calories of duck neck are 240 calories, which is relatively high-calorie food. Lymph exists in various parts of the human body and plays an important role in the human immune system. Lymphoma is caused by problems with this system of the human body and has nothing to do with eating duck necks. In addition to calories, eating some duck necks in moderation also contains a large amount of protein, vitamins and various minerals, which can effectively improve anemia. In fact, there is no harm in eating lymph nodes, but it has no nutrition and tastes bad, so most people throw it away.

Eating duck necks will not cause lymphoma. We should pay attention to the details in daily life. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, duck necks are a cool food. Eat some duck necks in moderation. It can clear away heat, remove dampness, detoxify, reduce swelling, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. However, eating too much can easily lead to diarrhea, so it is not recommended to eat too much.
