In a video broadcast on Yahoo.fr, Dr Arnaud Cocaul, a nutritionist doctor, warns the French against Emmanuel Macron’s favorite meal. An often industrial product, and full of unsaturated fatty acids, which can harm your health.
A product too salty, too sweet … and full of additives
Did you know? By eating a simple cordon blue, you ingest a “real chemical factory“, Prevents Dr. Arnaud Cocaul, a nutritionist doctor. Indeed, if the cordon blue has the advantage of being easy to prepare – and to consume (it is one of the favorite dishes of the president) it is actually harmful to health.
Despite these tunes of “full meal”, the cordon blue remains an ultra-transformed preparation “When you buy it commercially”, confirms the doctor.
“It normally contains five ingredients: the cutlet, the breadcrumbs, the cheese, the eggs and the bacon. The problem is that when you buy it commercially, you think you eat a cutlet. However, it is only a agglomerated of chicken skin, bone, white extracts. To texture the product, binders, like starch, wheat flour, are used.A completely tampered product. You are going to have breadcrumbs, made from dry bread, to which we will add dextrose, therefore sugar, then salt and additives. And you are going to have cheese. Finally, you plan to eat cheese but it is not one. It is a cheese from cast iron salt (a food additive that rearrangs cheese proteins during its manufacture), which is therefore closer to a cheese preparation “, he underlines.
In the end, you will get a 100% transformed product on the plate, made up of very poor quality ingredients.
“So you will get a very low protein product, non -satisfied and very rich in sugars, in salt … and which is also full of additives, that is toilet exhaustors, agglomerants and texture. All this therefore looks like a real chemical factory”, warns the expert.
If we appreciate this dish despite everything, which cordon blue turns?
Dr. Arnaud Cocaul is rather reassuring. Yes, it is possible to choose a “healthy” cordon for health – provided you do not abuse it. “The only cordon Bleu who finds thanks to the eyes of consumer associations, it is the cordon blue” father plump “, he said.
Indeed, when we closely observe the composition of this product, the ingredients seem of better quality than those of its shelves. Its meat comes from 100% chicken nets nourished with a vegetable diet and its turkey ham is without nitritity salt. It also contains neither palm oil nor a taste of taste, which allows him to obtain a good note (b).
Nevertheless, the best option is undoubtedly … the house version.
“If you are preparing a house blue cord it will always be better”, confirms the nutritionist doctor. “”The worst cordon blue will always remain the industrial product, which remains an ultra-transformed product. We therefore ban it as much as possible “, concludes the doctor.
