What's the difference between vegetable cream and animal cream?

"Vegetable butter", also known as "margarine" or "hydrogenated oil", was invented by German chemist William Norman and patented by 1902. The principle is that when the vegetable oil is heated, a metal catalyst is added and hydrogen is introduced to change the liquid oil into semi-solid oil.

However, in the process of "hydrogenation", part of the fat becomes trans fat. Trans fat is not good for human health, nor is it a nutrient needed by human body. "Margarine" is harmful to human body because of "trans fat".

Hydrogenated oil, commonly known as "vegetable creamer", "non-creamer", "shortening" and "vegetable butter". Widely used in bread, cheese, margarine, cakes, biscuits and other food baking fields. Fried food such as fried chicken, French fries, salted chicken, etc. In addition, hydrogenated oil is hidden in chocolate, ice cream, butter cookies, instant noodles, egg yolk pie, coffee companion (creamer) and buttered bread. This additive is mostly found in fast food. These mouth-watering foods have to rely on hydrogenated oil to taste good. Traditional vegetable butter will produce a lot of trans fatty acids, which will increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other diseases, and all countries in the world have restricted this.

Harm of "vegetable butter" and "trans fatty acids" to human body;

The selling point of "vegetable cream" in the early stage of listing is that it does not contain "cholesterol"! However, it was later proved that although it does not contain cholesterol, it contains a lot of "trans fatty acids". After entering the human body, it will cause the human body to produce bad cholesterol LDL, kill the original good cholesterol HDL in the human body, and cannot be completely excreted, and the rest will accumulate on the blood vessel wall!

At present, the results of scientific research show that the harm of "trans fatty acids" to people mainly includes the following points:

1, "trans fatty acids" will increase the viscosity and cohesion of human blood and easily lead to thrombosis;

2. Pregnant women or lactating women, if they consume too much trans fatty acids, will affect the growth and development of fetuses and babies;

3. "Trans fatty acids" will reduce the activity of male sperm, thus affecting reproductive health;

4. "Trans fatty acids" are very unfavorable to the brain development and nervous system development of infants and adolescents;

5. "Trans fatty acids" can inhibit and destroy cholesterol that manages memory function, and the risk of Alzheimer's disease is greater in old age;

6. "Trans fatty acids" can destroy and reduce the content of cholesterol (LDL) that protects cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health.
