Many people ate lard when they were young. The so-called lard is the oil boiled by pork. Compared with vegetable oil, this animal oil is more fragrant. The remaining lard residue from oil refining can also be mixed with rice or dumpling stuffing or directly dipped in soy sauce. This can be said to be a childhood memory of many people.

Some experts pointed out that excessive use of lard or lard residue is easy to induce cancer. The process of white pork oil extraction needs to reach a very high temperature, which is beneficial to the decomposition of 3,4-benzopyrene after heating. The longer the oil extraction time, the higher the content of this substance, and the international community has recognized this substance as a carcinogen. Although lard residue is delicious, most of it is semi-coke residue, which is easy to form carcinogens such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, so you should eat less lard or lard residue at ordinary times.

A large amount of lard is likely to cause cancer, but moderate consumption has many benefits. The first advantage is that moderate consumption of lard helps to nourish yin and replenish blood. Lard has the functions of nourishing five internal organs, strengthening spleen and nourishing stomach. For people with poor appetite and weak spleen and stomach, moderate consumption of lard is helpful to regulate the body.

The second advantage is that moderate consumption of lard helps to eliminate hepatotoxicity and five jaundice diseases, namely, black jaundice, neonatal jaundice, alcohol jaundice, cereal jaundice and female jaundice.

So how should we usually eat lard? The main reason of high blood lipid is the saturated fat in blood sugar. Many people think that eating lard can also lead to hyperlipidemia. In fact, lard also contains a lot of monounsaturated fat, so eating lard in moderation does not necessarily lead to hyperlipidemia. However, it should be noted that if you usually eat more meat, you should try to reduce the intake of vegetable oil such as lard. If you usually eat more vegetarian food, you can nurse vegetable oil and animal fat at the ratio of 1: 1, which is beneficial to your physical and mental health.

It can be seen that although lard contains carcinogens, moderate consumption is not easy to harm physical and mental health, but will continue to bring the above benefits to the human body. Usually, lard can be eaten in the above way. In addition, it is often necessary to choose suitable vegetable oil. Actually, you can refer to the above. Although vegetable oil does not contain carcinogens, it needs to be eaten in moderation. If you eat too much, it will seriously affect your physical and mental health.
