What's more harmful to the body - meat or cheese? The answer will surprise you
What's more harmful - meat or cheese? Most people would think it's meat. But we are talking about a naturally occurring food item. Unlike cheese, which is considered a savory human invention. And it can only be described as a concentrated form of fats.
We take the milk of a mammal and consume it. Milk exists as it is in nature. We leave it out at room temperature for a day, and it turns into yogurt or fermented milk. This also exists in nature. However, we cannot obtain cheese directly from the natural environment. Never.

Cheeses are milk concentrates, impressively crafted by people. In excess, it means daily cheese consumption. At most 50 grams a day. But why?
The fat in cheese, known as triglycerides, reaches the small intestine. And then the liver. What does excess intake mean? The liver becomes overwhelmed and doesn't process these well. Hepatic enzymes that process fat are overwhelmed. Anca Sima, member of the Romanian Academy, explains.
Anca Sima, PhD Academician, Institute of Cellular Biopathology: "What has been found? As blood levels of lipids, triglycerides and cholesterol rise, these enzymes begin to decrease activity. Subsequently, this fat goes unprocessed and continues to circulate in the bloodstream, eventually reaching other organs, where a portion is absorbed, while the remaining fat is absorbed by the liver?"
This is how fatty liver develops. But this affects all organs.
Fat, known as triglycerides, travels from the liver to blood vessels. Here they find a place to stay. And they form atherosclerotic plaque.
From the blood, in fact, fats migrate to all receiving organs. An important stop is the pancreas.
Fat particularly targets cells in the pancreas, especially those responsible for insulin production. Vital.
Hence, if your blood sugar level is at 126, indicating prediabetes, it is recommended to consider medication aimed at addressing blood fat levels. To prevent it from reaching the pancreas. One of the reasons why pancreas cells stop producing insulin. This contributes to the pancreatic cells no longer producing insulin, which is one of the factors leading to type 2 diabetes.
A diet low in triglycerides is a recommendation for maintaining perfect health. Not just for those with illness. In perfect health, it's advisable to limit high-fat cheeses. Cheese, French cheeses, Romanian Telemea cheese, sour cream.
Anca Sima, PhD Academician, Institute of Cellular Biopathology: "It's similar to concentrating all around 2-3 proteins, with the rest being lipids, all concentrated in the same place. A good cheese has 40-50% fat and is very concentrated. And the Romanian Telemea cheese is the same, it means a lot of triglycerides, not to mention sour cream".
Excess triglycerides taken from food follow the whole circuit: small intestine - liver - blood vessels - internal organs. And they cause harm. Therefore, it's in everyone's power to control their plate.
