Which part of the chicken is the least safe

Because of its delicate meat quality and delicious taste, chicken has been highly praised by everyone. Various parts of the chicken body have been cooked into a variety of delicious foods and appeared on people's tables. Wang Xingguo, executive director of the Dalian Nutrition Society and director of the nutrition department of Dalian Central Hospital, reminded everyone that there are many potential safety hazards in many parts of the chicken and should reduce the amount of food consumed or even not eat it.

Chicken tip: also known as "chicken butt", "chicken hip tip", refers to the upper end of the chicken ass long tail feathers, fat meat tender. This site is where the lymph glands are concentrated, because the macrophages in the lymph glands can devour germs and viruses, and even carcinogens, but they cannot decompose, so the toxins will settle in the hip tip. Over time, the chicken's tip became a large warehouse for storing viruses and germs.

Chicken skin: Although skin is delicious, it is not good for health. In general, there is more fat in the chicken skin, higher cholesterol, and higher levels of contaminants in the chicken skin. Especially grilled chicken, after being baked, cholesterol in the chicken skin is oxidized to form cholesterol oxidation products, causing great harm to the human body. If the temperature is not properly controlled, carcinogens may also be produced. Therefore, it is best to remove chicken skin when eating chicken, and do not use chicken skin for cooking.

Chicken neck: This part of the meat is rare, but the blood vessels and lymph glands are relatively concentrated. Occasionally eating spasm is not a problem. It is best to remove the skin when you eat, because lymph and other detoxification glands are concentrated in the subcutaneous fat of the neck. These glands contain toxins in the animal body, hormones in the feed and so on.

In addition, Wang Xingguo pointed out that some of the chicken's internal organs may have toxic residues, but the amount will vary depending on the farming conditions. The chicken's alveoli can accommodate various bacteria in chickens. After the chickens are killed, there will remain pathogenic bacteria in the lungs, especially the thermophilic bacteria. Even if they are heated, they cannot be completely killed. Eating may pose a threat to human health. Dirty (debris) is responsible for storing and grinding foods, so harmful substances may remain in the residues; harmful substances in chickens are mostly concentrated in the liver metabolism, detoxification; kidney and hazardous substances excretion; and heart and harmful substances metabolism. Therefore, although chicken gizzards, chicken liver, and chicken kidney have high nutritional value and are delicious, they should reduce the number of meals consumed and the amount eaten for their own health. For chicken hearts, it is safer and can be eaten in moderation.
