Greasy diet is the main culprit of chronic diseases

At present, the average daily consumption of fats and oils per person in urban areas in China is nearly 50 grams, which is twice the amount recommended by the World Health Organization. Among them, Beijing and other large cities, the average daily consumption of fats and oils per person is close to 90 grams, is the World Health Organization recommended amount of 3.5 times. Experts have suggested that greasy diet has become the culprit in triggering high blood fat, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, cancer and other diseases in the country, and to strengthen the balanced diet mission for the maintenance of public health is essential. According to the introduction, where in the cooking of the use of excessive cooking oil seasoning food can be attributed to greasy food. Poultry and meat foods that contain a lot of meat oil themselves, such as fatty meat, chicken skin, and fatty animal intestines, as well as foods that use a lot of secondary processing of these ingredients, such as stewed soups, are also categorized as greasy foods. Some statistics show that in 2013, China’s per capita consumption of edible oil amounted to 22 kilograms per year, exceeding the world standard of 20 kilograms per capita. At the same time, according to the 83.73 million tons of livestock and poultry meat produced in China in 2013, the per capita consumption of meat was nearly 60 kilograms, much higher than Japan (29 kilograms) and South Korea (37 kilograms).

This year by the State Council announced the “China Food and Nutrition Development Program (2014 ~ 2020)” proposed that by 2020, the national per capita annual consumption of edible vegetable oils to 12 kilograms, meat 29 kilograms, is a good start. Experts pointed out that fats and oils are important nutrients needed by the human body, and that they should not be corrected in the missionary process.
