Duck neck is often a snack for people to enjoy leisurely, and it is also a dish that many people cannot live without. As the saying goes, in the world of duck neck, there is also the saying that "the teeth are gone without marks, sliding into the lips, the corpse is like a dissection, and the tip of the tongue is with a knife".
For foodies, what should not be missed is the soul-like existence of duck neck, which is called bone marrow, that is, after eating the flesh that wanders around the duck neck bone, it is not finished yet, followed by the bone marrow inside the duck neck. Eating it together is perfect.
is such a duck neck, which makes people unable to stop, but in recent years, there has been a saying that eating duck neck regularly can cause cancer. How did this come about? In fact, the rumor is that duck necks are typical pickled foods. If the bones of duck necks are delicious, they must be cured for a long time and a large amount of salt, sugar, flavor and other condiments are needed during the pickling process.
Because of this, people began to suspect that nitrite , , especially duck necks with a long shelf life, after adding an appropriate amount of nitrite, it can not only serve as a color retention agent, but also extend the shelf life of food to a certain extent. If everyone consumes too much, it will affect the function of hemoglobin in the blood. When it loses its ability to carry oxygen, the body will cause nitrite poisoning.
Depending on the range where the body can withstand nitrite, when the content of nitrite intake is 0.3~0.5g, it can be poisoned, and the nitrite mortality rate is 3.0g.
So, what does it have to do with duck neck? According to common pickled foods, including duck necks, there are other bacon, sausage, bacon, pickles, kimchi, etc., the nitrite content per kilogram is 30mg.
In other words, it doesn’t matter if you eat such food occasionally or eat less. The body can bear it and it will not cause cancer as the rumored eating duck necks. But at the same time, everyone should also pay attention to buying in regular places. If it is a scattered duck neck, it is likely to deteriorate or nitrite accumulation due to uncertain shelf life.
If it is a special group, such as hypertension , heart failure , obvious edema, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases , etc., , according to the 2022 edition of the "Diet Guidelines for Chinese Residents", the adults should limit the amount of salt to less than 5g.
For people who often eat duck necks, they should carefully look at the sodium ingredients on the packaging based on their food intake throughout the day and when purchasing duck necks, and control the salt they eat that day within a healthy range.
Finally, I remind everyone that the Chinese salted fish that the southern people like to eat is not low in nitrite content and is listed as a Class 1 carcinogen by International Cancer Research Institution under the World Health Organization . You really need to touch less. If you can eat less, don’t eat too much. It is best not to eat it.
