But now lard has gradually moved away from the dining table of many of us, and there is even a saying that "eating lard dies quickly". So is this statement scientific? Let me answer your questions.
From the point of view of delicious, lard is indeed a very good food, but it also contains more cholesterol, the content is about 93mg/ 100g, and the content of saturated fatty acids in lard is particularly high, containing up to 40% saturated fat. Our current healthy diet advocates that people use vegetable oil instead of animal oil and eat less saturated fatty acids, so excessive lard is not good for blood lipid metabolism, and dyslipidemia is the chief culprit of cardiovascular diseases.
Professor Hu Dayi, a cardiovascular expert, once criticized the media that eating cholesterol is harmless to the body, pointing out that the bad blood lipids such as high and low density lipoprotein are harmful to the heart for a hundred years, so we still need to listen to real professional scientific guidance and control the amount of lard.
But in fact, even if we don't eat lard, the saturated fat intake may exceed the standard, such as biscuits, cakes, eggs and meat that we often eat in our lives. We have always emphasized low salt, low fat and low sugar, and the latest Internet medical treatment in the State Council has also proposed reducing salt, fat and sugar. Otherwise, whether you are vegetable oil or animal oil, you will still suffer if you eat too much.
It is really innocent to say that "eating lard dies quickly". As mentioned above, even if you don't eat lard, you will consume saturated fatty acids. Therefore, it can only be controlled by the degree of assurance.
Lard still has its own charm. In Mr. Cai Lan's "Long Live Lard", it is praised that "the love for lard, like many people of the older generation, comes from the bowl of lard that I ate when I was a child. In the poor years, that bowl of food is our delicacies" and "I must eat before I die". "Among the cereals, white rice is the best, and a bowl of lard makes a meal, and I am grateful and shed tears." It is also a great recognition of lard. When Mr. Cai is nearly 80 years old, he can still accept all kinds of foods related to lard. In fact, many foods are really inseparable from lard, and animal fat has a fragrance that vegetable fat does not have, which is why many people like to eat rice with lard.
Whether it is scientific to say "eat lard and die quickly" depends on how we eat lard. If we can strictly control the amount of lard we eat, then this statement is unscientific. If we eat a lot of lard for a long time because we like it, it will certainly endanger our health, so this statement is scientific. Therefore, although lard is delicious, everyone should pay attention to controlling the amount of lard and reducing the intake of saturated fat and cholesterol.
