Chinese food maybe bad for your health according to a study that finds that it contains a high level of sodium and calories
A new study finds that Chinese food is unhealthy for you. According to a consumer group, Chinese food has a tendancy to be high in fat, high in sodium and high in calories.
"I don't want to put all the blame on Chinese food," said Bonnie Liebman, nutrition director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest. "Across the board, American restaurants need to cut back on calories and salt, and in the meantime, people should think of each meal as not one, but two, and bring home half for tomorrow," Liebman said.
It is estimated that the average adult needs to consume roughly 2000 calories, and 2300 ml of salt daily, both of which are found in large quantities in certain types of Chinese food.
Eating a diet high in sodium has been known to raise a person's risk of hypertention, or high blood pressure.
The researchers state that not much has changed since Chinese food was studied 15 years ago.
"We were glad not to find anything different," Liebman said. "Some restaurant food has gotten a lot worse. Companies seem to pile on. Instead of just cheesecake,
you get coconut chocolate chip cheesecake with a layer of chocolate cake, and lasagna with meatballs."
The researchers emphasize that not all Chinese food is bad for you. "The good thing about Chinese food is that you can get vegetable-rich dishes, and it's got the kind of fat that isn't bad for your heart."
