Be careful when eating pig brain to avoid increasing blood sugar

Kiều Vũ (Tổng hợp từ AHA & WHO) |

Is blood sugar or diabetics affected when eating pig brain? This is a question of many people.

Pig brain is a food rich in protein and fat, especially unsaturated fat. According to research, 100g of pig brain provides about 20g of protein, 10g of fat and contains a relatively high amount of cholesterol, about 250mg. However, these fats are mainly unsaturated fatty acids and some compounds necessary for the body. This makes pig brain not a direct cause of increased blood sugar.

Foods with a low glycemic index, such as pork brains, do not raise blood sugar levels rapidly. The glycemic index of a food measures its ability to raise blood sugar levels. Foods with a low glycemic index, such as animal meats, do not raise blood sugar levels rapidly.

According to experts from the World Health Organization and the American Heart Association, foods high in cholesterol and saturated fat may contribute to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, but there is no clear evidence that pig brain, when eaten in moderation, will directly increase blood sugar. On the contrary, people with diabetes need to pay more attention to the amount of carbohydrates in their diet than to foods with a low glycemic index.

However, it should be noted that if you eat pig brain with foods with a high glycemic index such as white rice, white bread, and sugar, your blood sugar level can increase rapidly. Therefore, the combination of foods in a meal also has a great influence on the stability of blood sugar.
