Experts called the 5 “bad” foods that in reality are useful.

Red meat. For a long time only the breast of chicken was promoted as a healthy variety of meat food products. Now experts say there’s no need to feel guilty when eating the beef with pork. From them you can also get some useful nutrients. Especially valuable for health will be lean meat of pigs and cows. Studies show that today’s pork contains far less fat than in the past.

Margarine vs butter. Yes, more recently, butter was considered to be hazardous food because of cholesterol and people have recommended to replace it with margarine. Especially as it was also advantageous from a financial point of view. However, it now appears that margarine contains so-called TRANS fats that clog the arteries. However, butter and a lot saturated fat that increases LDL “bad” cholesterol. So you can use butter, but in small quantities, and to cook on it food.

Salad dressings. Experts in the field of healthy nutrition urge to return to the recipes of our grandmothers and salads with vinegar and vegetable oil. Many “light” dressings modern salads contain a large number of additional ingredients, including sugar and salt. And it is better to make a homemade vinaigrette with olive oil, which is an excellent source of heart-healthy unsaturated fats.

Peanut butter. Regardless, like it or not, the researchers say that peanut butter is affordable and healthy source of protein. In the past about this product, there were fears, since the process of making peanut butter was produced a significant amount of TRANS fats. But recent studies have demonstrated that the process improved, and the level of these fats fell. However, do not overdo it, because peanut butter contains a lot of calories.

Eggs. For many years eggs have suffered from a very bad reputation, when in the early 1970-ies they were accused of increasing cholesterol levels. Then scientists figured out exactly how cholesterol affects the risk of heart disease. And that there are “good” and “bad” cholesterol. It turned out that the eggs do not harm the cardiovascular system, but contain many healthy substances, including, of course, protein.
