The dirtiest organ on the fish is called the 'nest' of parasites. Many people love to eat it, so be careful
Summer is the hottest season of the year, and it is also the time with the most variety of food and entertainment!
The most popular food is "fish". It is not only rich in protein, but also has a good taste and less fat content. It is the best choice for people who lose weight. Moreover, with the continuous development of the artificial breeding industry in recent years, even the price of marine fish has gradually become common, and fish has become a home-cooked dish.
However, when eating fish at ordinary times, we must pay special attention to one thing: not all parts can be eaten! Because there may be toxins and parasites in the fish, and parasitic in a certain part. If you eat too much without paying attention, it may cause a health crisis, especially the following two parts:
- Fish head
When many people eat fish, they will take out the fish head list to make a dish, such as the common fish head soup, fish head with chopped peppers, etc. Moreover, some people think that eating fish brain regularly can nourish the brain and improve intelligence. However, there are abundant blood vessels and metabolic nerves in the fish head. After the death of the fish, it is easy to produce a large number of bacteria, and there may also be parasites in it, such as liver fluke is one of them! The most important thing is that after clinical research, it is found that there are a lot of harmful components in fish brain, especially the mercury content is more than 20 times, which is not good for health.
- Fish viscera
The first thing to mention here is "fish gallbladder", which is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine. But in fact, fish gallbladder is not suitable for consumption. After scientific research, it is found that there are a lot of toxic compounds in fish gallbladder. This substance cannot be killed even after being soaked in high temperature and alcohol, and liver flukes are also easily in the fish gallbladder. Parasitic, eating by mistake can not only cause parasitic infection, but also have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and even lead to liver and kidney failure and myocardial damage in severe cases!
In addition, the liver of fish is also a place where liver flukes are prone to parasites. Most freshwater fish have cysts of liver flukes in their internal organs. If people directly eat fish viscera containing live cysts, they will develop in the bile ducts, which is very detrimental to health.
Therefore, in the process of eating fish, we must pay attention to avoid the above two parts. In addition, the following two types of fish are best avoided, and do not let them appear on the table:
Sashimi: I do not know since when, eating sashimi has gradually become popular in China, and it is very popular! Because sashimi not only tastes fresh and tender, but also many people believe that sashimi has not undergone any processing and is more nutritious. However, sashimi is precisely the place where liver flukes are easy to hide, and if you eat sashimi for a long time, the chance of infection with liver flukes will also increase.
Salted fish: Although salted fish has been repeatedly processed, there are no parasites, but it is very detrimental to health. In fact, the World Health Organization has already listed Chinese-style salted fish as a first-class carcinogen! Because the salted fish after repeated processing, not only the nutrients have been exhausted, but also there are "nitrites" in the salted fish, which will be metabolized in the body to carcinogen "nitrosamines". Increase your risk of gastrointestinal cancer!
In general, although eating fish is about freshness and rich taste, you should choose fresh fish and fully cooked fish, so that you can taste the freshness of the fish and avoid parasitic infection. In addition, it needs to be emphasized that although fish is delicious, it should also pay attention to nutritional balance in life, and do not lack the intake of vegetables and fruits.
