Chicken nuggets, what do they contain? Chicken, would be the obvious answer. But this is not the case, according to scientists. If the idea of becoming a vegetarian just does not go down well and we continue undeterred to consume meat, at least it is appropriate to know what we eat. In the case of nuggets, the famous ones Chicken Nuggets they do contain chicken meat but only half of it. Are you curious to know what the remaining 50% is made of?
After kebab and Hot dog, this other surprise. This was revealed by a study by‘American Journal of Medicine, which after analyzing two types of nuggets of chicken of as many fast food, made the horrible discovery, which shouldn't surprise anymore: half was made of muscle, the rest was a mixture of fats, arteries and nerves. This is what was found in the first nugget.
In the other, taken from a second Mississippi fast food, only 40% was muscle, the rest, needless to say, was made up of a mixture of fat, cartilage and pieces of bone.
"We all know that white chicken meat is one of the best sources of pure protein available and we encourage our patients to eat it," he said not happy with Dr. DeShazo, head of the study. "What has happened is that some companies have chosen to use an artificial blend of chicken parts instead of white, low-fat chicken."
Indeed the nugget is a by-product high calorie made of chicken, salt, sugar and fat. It certainly cannot be considered a healthy choice. Not to mention that there are many children, especially in the US, who are crazy about it.
According to the dottor DeShazo, the best way to eat the morsels, would then be to prepare them at home with chicken organic and fry in a little oil.
But is it really necessary with all the varieties of fruit and vegetables that Nature makes available to us?
