Offal is the internal organs of the animals which have
been slaughtered. The organs include the intestine, kidney, liver, gizzard and
others. For some people, offal consumed as delicacies. Offal
often regarded as the culprit of various dangerous disease like coronary heart,
stroke, and gout. So that they should avoid the offal. But for some others, offal is waste or
dirt should not be consumed. For
example, in some countries like America, unusual offal for human consumption. Offal
is generally discarded or fed to animals because it is considered harmful to
health. However, in some European
countries, like Italy, Spain, Scotland, Greece, Turkey, and Romania, the usual
offal processed as one of the traditional cuisine of the appetite. In
the UK, usually offal cooked as steaks.
Who consider offal as garbage or feces should not be consumed
is reasonable. I do not like to eat the offal too. This is because, the offal contain a
variety of diseases. Take the
liver as a sample. The liver is
the major organ in the animal body. More
toxic compounds found in the liver, compared with other body parts. Therefore, the liver is the place to
neutralize toxins in the body's digestive system.
Another danger of the offal is cholesterol. Cholesterol is found in organ meats are
very high, especially the brain, liver and intestines. Cholesterol is a fat fraction are
common in the bloodstream and every cell in the body. Cholesterol is always
present in the body and have an important function. Due to extremely high
cholesterol in the offal, it is certainly very dangerous, especially for those
who are elderly and tend to obesity. Purine
content are also very high in offal. Because
of the high purine levels, Offal is not safe for gout sufferers because one of
the causes of gout are foods high in purines.
Indeed, there are negative in terms of the offal, there
are some benefits in terms of offal. But
my advice, avoid taking offal for your health. Remember, prevention is better
than cure.
