Today I saw such a question:
*Does cheese make people fat? What is Organic Cheese? *Does cheese cause vascular disease?
As an advocate of healthy and organic life, Source Food Life has its own opinions and would like to share them with you.
First of all, cheese is a high-calorie, high-fat, high-protein food. Cheese usually has more than 300 calories per 100 grams and is also higher in fat. Therefore, if you eat a large amount of cheese, the calories and fat intake will increase accordingly, which may lead to weight gain. However, the fat in cheese is mainly saturated fat, which was thought to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in the past. However, studies in recent years have shown that the relationship between saturated fat and cardiovascular disease may not be as simple as previously thought.
Secondly, different types of cheese have different nutrient content and caloric content. For example, some soft cheeses (e.g., blue cheese, brie) are higher in fat, while some hard cheeses (e.g., Parmesan, cheddar) are relatively low in fat. In addition, some cheeses may have other ingredients added during the making process, such as salt, sugar, etc., which can also affect the nutritional value and calorie content of the cheese.
As for organic cheese, it refers to cheese made with organic ingredients such as organic milk. Organic food is considered healthier and more natural because it does not use chemically synthesized pesticides, fertilizers, antibiotics, and other substances in the production process. However, organic cheese is not necessarily healthier or lower in calories than other cheeses. Its nutrient content and caloric content still depend on the ingredients and additives used in the manufacturing process. Therefore, when choosing cheese, in addition to considering whether it is organic or not, you also need to pay attention to factors such as its type, nutrient content, and calorie content.
