Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise is the most popular and popular product that we constantly observe in our refrigerator. How did mayonnaise appear? There are a lot of myths on this score. One of which says that in 1757 the French Duke de Richelieu conquered the city of Mahon. And since the French had only eggs and olive oil, they constantly cooked omelets and scrambled eggs. But one very resourceful cook decided to bring changes to the menu, he rastered the yolks with salt and sugar, added spices and imbalances, all beat up and as a result, a mayonnaise was obtained.

There is another myth, which tells that in 1782 the great commander Louis ofCrillon conquered the city of Mahon, and after the battle began to feast, as a sign of victory, where he was served with mayonnaise.

Now we can buy this sauce at any store, besides there are mayonnaises with pepper, olives and vegetables. And in general, the composition of this mayonnaise should include vegetable oil, lemon juice, mustard and egg yolk. However, now mayonnaise is not so natural. If we consider its composition more carefully, we will see that it also contains fat. But for its production is used not ordinary olive or vegetable oil, amodified oils. Such molecules are not natural and our organism can not assimilate them.

It is for this reason that all these oils are accumulated in the liver, on the walls of the vessels and naturally at the waist. If you use too much mayonnaise, it can lead to atherosclerosis, metabolic diseases and obesity. Even those good quality fats that contain in this product will not bring any benefit to our body, because there are too many of them.

In addition to fats in mayonnaise, there are other components. Emulsifiers, which are used for the product to take a uniform consistency, are also very harmful. Formerly, emulsifier was lecithin, and now it is soy. And we know that soy can be genetically modified.

In addition, and the artificial origin have taste enhancers, due to which the product has such a pronounced taste. Do you think the preservatives with which mayonnaise can be preserved for years are useful? There is nothing useful in this product!

Some of us are very fond of the beard. Even the Bible mentions this product. And now it is even more popular and everyone says it is very useful. Mustard oil contains a polyunsaturated fatty acid, which prevents thrombosis, cardiovascular diseases and atherosclerosis. In addition, it is rich in vitamins E, D, A and natural antioxidants, which reduce the risk of cancer, slows down aging and stimulates sexual functions.

Ordinary mustard is made of powdered mustard, vinegar, sugar, spices, salt and lean oil. A good mustard must have a pungent taste without too much bitterness and acid. It contains potassium, iron, phosphorus, as well as vitamins B1 and B2.

Virtually no one knows about the harmful properties of this sauce. If mustard is often used for food, then it may be a chasm and an allergy occurs. People who are ill with tuberculosis and gastroenterological diseases should generally forget about such a product, because for them it is very dangerous.
