1, can I eat artificial meat burgers?
You can eat it.
Recently, an American company introduced the "artificial meat" hamburger. The "meat" used in the meat patty is artificial meat made of vegetables, which is the same as beef in appearance, smell, taste and taste.
It is understood that "artificial meat" was invented by an American company in a food laboratory in Silicon Valley for five years, with an investment of/kloc-0.8 billion US dollars. The secret of making it taste very similar to ordinary patties is to add a heme extracted from hemoglobin. Heme contains iron, which will turn red when it comes into contact with oxygen, so artificial meat will also "bleed", turn red, and can be perfectly cooked into medium-rare!
2. What are the disadvantages of eating hamburgers?
As we all know, eating junk food often makes people fat, but Australian scientists have found that if teenagers aged 14~ 17 often eat hamburgers and French fries, their cognitive function will also be affected.
Scholars from the University of Western Australia and Trathen Institute of Child Health selected 602 participants, each of whom filled out a questionnaire about eating habits at the age of 14 to determine their health status and eating habits. When the participants reached the age of 17, the researchers evaluated their cognitive ability. The results show that teenagers who often eat hamburgers, French fries, processed meat products and drink soft drinks are slightly worse than other children in reaction time, intelligence level, visual attention, learning and memory ability. Teenagers who eat more fruits and green leafy vegetables have better cognitive function.
Dr Annette Nayaladi, the author of the study, said: "This may be related to the micronutrients contained in green leafy vegetables, which help to enhance cognitive function. Omega -6 fatty acids in fried foods and red meat may affect the development of children's cognitive function. " Eating a lot of omega -6 saturated fatty acids and simple carbohydrates will affect the function of hippocampus, which is an important part of learning and memory in the brain, and its volume will increase in adolescence. Adolescence is an important stage of brain development, and unhealthy diet may affect this process. The results of this study have positive reference significance for the formulation of future health policies.
Actually, artificial meat is not far from us. Many of the patties we usually eat in the middle are artificial meat, which tastes similar to meat, but not meat. There are two kinds of common artificial meat, one is mainly supported by soy protein, and the other is made from animal stem cells. In fact, everyone's evaluation of artificial meat has always been not very good, and different people have different opinions. It is better to eat more fresh vegetables and eat meat in moderation.
