Chicken is a very common dish in life. Many people do not eat chicken heads, but there are also a few people who eat chicken combs because they taste very good. It is said that eating cockscombs will cause poisoning? Is this true or false? Let’s take a look! Is eating cockscombs poisonous?

The belief that cockscombs are poisonous only exists in China.

Perhaps you have heard the saying that a chicken head that has been raised for ten years is better than arsenic. This means that if you accidentally eat a chicken or chicken head that has been raised for ten years, you will be easily poisoned because the chicken comb contains a large amount of heavy metals. At the gathering place, toxins in the body usually will be discharged on the chicken comb. If the chicken has been raised for a year, it is okay to eat the comb, but if the chicken has been raised for a long time, neither the head nor the body should be eaten.

For now, most of them are fed with feed, which does not contain a lot of heavy metals. The chickens in the restaurant are instant chickens and will not be raised for several years before being given to you. Therefore, there will be no accumulation of heavy metals at all, and you can eat it with confidence. Is there any scientific basis for the poisonousness of cockscombs?

I can’t say too harshly. I can’t say that cockscombs are necessarily poisonous, but I can’t say that cockscombs are not poisonous. Eating a small amount of cockscombs will not reach the dose that causes symptoms.

There is no scientific proof for the saying "Ten years of chicken heads are better than arsenic", just some folk sayings. In fact, if we talk about toxins, the toxins in chicken heads are much less than those in internal organs. Please take a calm look at the rumors about chicken heads being poisonous and chicken wing tips containing hormones.
