Experts reveal 5 types of meat that should not be eaten, although delicious, are very harmful to health

In fact, many people tend to like eating meat and do not want to waste anything. However, based on the latest warnings from health experts, some parts of meat and fish should not be eaten to avoid negative effects on health.

Please note that meat eating habits must also be based on the 3 no's principle: do not eat meat areas with many lymph nodes, do not eat parts related to endocrine such as: internal organs, swim bladders... and limit eating skin, especially chicken, duck, and pig skin.

More specifically, doctors have pointed out 5 extremely toxic animal meats that we should not eat to protect our health:

1. Do not eat places with endocrine glands and lymph glands on livestock.

You should understand which areas of the body contain lymph nodes to avoid.

Research has shown that the physicochemical properties of thyroxine contained in these glands are relatively stable and need to be destroyed above 600 °C. Therefore, it is difficult to destroy it by conventional cooking methods. Eating too much thyroxine can affect our own endocrine system, causing physical discomfort such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

If the endocrine glands are more familiar to Vietnamese people and are mainly distributed in internal organs. The lymph nodes act as the body's immune tissues. It accumulates a large number of pathogenic microorganisms and toxins, so when ingested, it will directly cause various infectious diseases or poisoning. In animals, lymph nodes are concentrated in some areas such as the neck, armpits, abdomen, ...

2. Float for chicken and duck

For many people who love this dish, this is certainly one of the fattest parts. However, experts in the field of nutrition and food safety explain that the fat gland in the tail will pollute the quality of the meat, containing a large amount of pathogens, metabolic waste, ... and even when cooked at high temperatures, some germs may not be completely destroyed.

3. Duck neck skin

Duck meat is a favorite dish of many Vietnamese people.

Duck neck is very popular with duck lovers. But this area also contains a lot of lymph tissue, if not completely removed, there are many harmful viruses residing there. Cooking temperature cannot destroy them, leading to health hazards.

4. Fish bile

Although fish gallbladder is not a daily food, it is considered a valuable medicine. However, according to experts, the gallbladder is a digestive organ that secretes bile to promote the digestion of meat and fatty foods. Therefore, both raw and cooked fish gallbladders are toxic.

Most fish gallbladder poisoning cases are of freshwater farmed fish, such as grass carp, common carp, herring and the like.

5. Shrimp head

Many experts say that shrimp have a head that stores waste. More specifically, the head of shrimp has the ability to accumulate metals. Metals in the water where they live will be stored in the head to help harden the shell. Therefore, you should not eat the head of shrimp and remember to peel the shrimp before eating.
