According to MSc. Le Thi Hai, Institute of Nutrition, scientifically, to know whether a certain food is really nutritious and good for the body, we must know the ingredients and nutritional content of the food.

In fact, nutritionists have researched and proven that most animal brains contain very high levels of cholesterol. Research on cholesterol in the brains of some animals shows that the cholesterol in pig brains is 30 times higher than in their meat (every 100 grams of pig brain contains up to 2,195 mg of cholesterol).

If you eat 100 grams of pig brain, the amount of cholesterol is 7 times higher than the body's daily needs. If you eat it regularly for a long time, the amount of cholesterol will skyrocket, causing diseases such as: atherosclerosis, metabolic disorders (hyperlipidemia, increased uric acid), high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease.

Thus, brain is not a nutritious food as many people mistakenly believe, if eaten too much it is harmful. Whether a child is smart or not depends on many factors such as: genetics, nurturing and teaching methods, not eating brains will make the child smart. The correct method of nurturing is to feed children with enough nutrients such as: protein, sugar, fat, vitamins and minerals in a reasonable and balanced ratio by eating a variety of foods.

Eating brains to cure headaches is a serious misconception. Because brains contain too much cholesterol, eating too much will cause high blood cholesterol leading to atherosclerosis, which is the main cause of high blood pressure, and high blood pressure is mainly a symptom of headaches, so eating brains can increase headaches. In addition, this is the cause of pancreatitis, acute cholecystitis, and will greatly affect the central nervous system and autonomic nervous system, promoting and increasing the risk of high blood pressure, visceral fat, stroke, myocardial infarction, etc. if used for a long time.

In fact, brain is a normal food that is not as good as liver, heart, meat, fish, so it is not a nutritious food, should not eat too much, especially for the elderly should limit, people with cholesterol should not eat.
