No matter how delicious they are, don't eat these 5 parts of the pig or you'll get si.ck

1. Pig's Bl.o.od

Among foods that contain iron, pig's blood is at the top of the list. As long as the pig is healthy, products made from its blood can be used.

But if you are not careful to buy blood from a dead pig, a sick pig or blood that is no longer fresh, it is another problem. Pig's blood is fine if eaten cooked, but many people have a hobby of eating blood pudding.

If the pig is infected with Streptococcus suis (S.suis) (including sick pigs and healthy pigs that carry the bacteria without developing the disease), the pig's blood will contain a large amount of bacteria. When eating uncooked pig's blood pudding, streptococcus bacteria from food will enter the human body and cause disease.

2. Pig's liver


Pig's liver has always been known as a part that contains a lot of nutrients: protein, vitamins A, B, D, nicotilic and folic acid. In particular, Vitamin A in pig's liver is many times higher than in meat, fish, eggs, and milk.

Therefore, many people prefer to prepare liver for children, the elderly, and the sick without knowing that the liver is the organ that metabolizes and eliminates toxins in the pig's body, so this organ also concentrates a lot of waste, pathogens, and a certain amount of toxins. The liver also contains many parasites such as worms and viruses that cause disease.

Therefore, when buying liver, you should pay attention to choosing liver with a characteristic fresh color, without white or red spots or unusual colors. Before processing, soak the liver in fresh milk for 30 minutes to help remove the bad smell and toxins in the liver.

3. Pig lungs

Pig lungs are a place that contains a lot of bacteria because this is where air is exchanged with the outside. With the characteristic of sticking their noses to the ground, pigs are more likely to accumulate a lot of dirt and inhaled dust into their lungs every day.

When eating this part, it is very easy to take in a lot of dirt and heavy metals into the body. Of course, if processed cleanly and with good resistance, healthy people can still eat pig lungs but should not eat too much. Elderly people and people with chronic diseases should not eat pig lungs.

4. Pig intestines

Eating pig intestines is a hobby of many people. However, this favorite dish has many potential dangers that threaten your health. When we eat this, we can forget one thing, the large intestine of the pig is where the waste products of food after digestion are stored.

Pig intestines are where microorganisms live more, there will certainly be many parasites, many disease-causing bacteria.

5. Pork neck meat



Nutritionist Nguyen Thu Ha - Nam Sai Gon International General Hospital said that the fat content in pig neck is very high, eating too much not only causes sudden weight gain but also causes many problems with the heart and brain blood vessels. In addition, pig necks also have lymph nodes, a system of the body that filters and traps foreign microorganisms, inflammatory cells, and toxins. Regular consumption can cause many diseases.

"Pork neck meat has a complex lymph node system that is difficult to completely remove during processing. The human body will absorb a large amount of bacteria and toxins when eaten, which can lead to poisoning or the risk of contracting infectious diseases," Dr. Ha analyzed.
