Curd cheese, which is considered a healthy snack, is actually dangerous due to the additives it contains, high insulin index and trans fats. Aaliya Majid, head of health, AIP-certified paleo coach, permanent spokesperson of the International Institute of Integrative Nutrition, and Functional Cookery Prevention School, told socialbites.ca.
According to the expert, a cheese weighing 40 g contains almost 13 g of sugar – this is 2 teaspoons.
“The high insulin index that dairy products, especially sweet ones have, as well as such a large amount of sugar is contraindicated, firstly, for diabetics, and secondly, it leads to an increase in blood sugar levels, which the pancreas has. producing more insulin to absorb all that sugar. Due to this increased work, the pancreas is depleted, the metabolism is disturbed. And when the sugar drops, the person gets hungry again. This threatens to gain weight, ”explained the expert.
The glaze itself is also dangerous in glazed curds, especially if they are not of very high quality, they are made from confectionery oil, an analogue of margarine.
“Various plant substitutes, especially partially hydrogenated ones, are very dangerous trans fats that increase ‘bad’ cholesterol levels, damage the cardiovascular system and liver, and increase the risk of atherosclerosis,” said Aaliya Majid.
Inexpensive substitutes for milk fat, various chemicals, dyes and flavors are also harmful in the composition of the curd.
“Flavors like raspberry, strawberry, and pineapple cause dermatitis and allergies. The rest of the artificial food chemistry from synthetics also carries enormous health risks in the long run. This is especially true for children, where such curd use poses a double risk,” the health chief warned.
