Chicken meat is a nutritionally valuable food, as it contains high amounts of protein, fats and carbohydrates, in addition to a number of vitamins that provide the body with the necessary energy.
However, some health and culinary experts revealed that there are parts of the chicken’s body that should not be eaten, which are:
- Skin
Chicken skin is rich in fat and contains many parasites and bacteria, which may cause health problems for humans.
- Head
Health experts warn against eating chicken heads, as they may contain some substances that are dangerous to human health. They pointed out that some chicken breeders inject steroid hormones into the head, with the aim of increasing the weight of the chickens unnaturally.
- the neck
The neck (a favorite of many) contains lymph nodes rich in toxins and bacteria. Consuming it in large quantities can increase the risk of cancer, according to experts.
- Lung
Chicken lungs contain a lot of parasites and bacteria, which cannot be eliminated, due to their resistance to high temperatures.
- Intestine
In the chicken's intestines there are various types of bacteria and food residues, as well as arsenic compounds and toxins that birds may ingest (especially through medications).
- Legs
Health experts said that many "harmful" hormones remain lurking in the chicken's legs, and excessive consumption of them may lead to weight gain.
- Chicken butt
It is the most dangerous part of the chicken that should be avoided, because it contains a large amount of bacteria and toxins that are dangerous to the human body.
