Five questions to break the food taboos rumors (3)-healthy recipes and snacks

questioned 4: fully comply with such a taboo, is it possible?

Indeed, as two examples above, as a lot of taboos is not only absurd, but simply can not achieve, unconscionable. According to their theoretical explanation, and people's livelihood will be at a loss.

For example, there is a taboo that should not beef and potatoes to eat together. Why? Say beef are rich in protein, require acidic digestive conditions; potatoes are rich in starch, require alkaline conditions for digestion. Both for human consumption, this would damage the digestive system.

according to this view, the problem can not be limited to the potatoes and beef. A lot of protein-containing foods containing starch are also quite a number, have a lot of protein and starch at the same time containing the two ingredients. It appears that one can only eat one meal of beef, eat a meal of potatoes; one meal of eggs, rice meal one ... ... dishes are a staple food and can not ate together, and even Egg Fried Rice, dumplings, steamed stuffed bun, wonton, pie, drag batter fried fish and shrimp, make cake, egg roll system like all the practices must be abolished. Living suddenly become so boring terror.

more trouble some food - red beans peas green bean broad bean kidney beans and other food products up to 20% protein content, starch content of more than 50%, so that food can not simply ate. In fact, 10 percent protein wheat flour, rice protein 7%, have oats, corn, millet and so on and so on ... ... Strictly speaking, they do not eat the.

However, eating these foods can cause digestive problems in the results, there is no actual evidence of it? If no conclusive evidence, then why should people believe that this can not comply with the "taboo" mean?

come back to take a look at this taboo theoretical basis. Say this theory, protein digestion in the stomach inside the stomach environment is acidic; starch digestion in the small intestine, small intestine are alkaline environment. However, the main body of the protein is not mainly in the stomach to digest it, but more than 80% of digestion in the small intestine - Otherwise, people worry about what "trypsin inhibitor" of the. Now that both starch and protein digestion in the small intestine, digestive conditions, what is not the same?

in fact, proteins stay in the stomach longer, just make the digestion of starch with slower speed, lower blood glucose response to people for diabetes, obesity, this is an advantage rather than disadvantage.

study trust people had knowledge of physiology will feel that not enough scientific rigor of this theory. However, no professional person is also the foundation can critique it, because it goes against common sense and do not have feasibility.
