The Chicken Association responded to the university chicken nugget study

Laboratory analysis of chicken nuggets at the two fast-food chains found that they contained
40%
to
50%
of meat, with fat, skin, connective tissue, blood vessels, nerves and bone fragments remaining. The analysis was conducted by the University of Mississippi Medical
(
UMMC).in response to the university's research, the National Chicken Association issued a statement.Dr. Ashley Peterson
, vice president of science and regulatory affairs at the National Chicken Association, said,

"In making chicken nuggets, our members use high-quality ingredients and comply with all food safety laws and regulations to produce high-quality products that meet the expectations of customers and consumers." Chicken nuggets are a good source of protein, especially for
children
."
study assessed only two samples of chicken nuggets in billions of chicken nuggets each year. The study of two chicken nugget samples concluded that the entire product category was not scientifically reasonable.

After the chicken nuggets are sprinkled with breadcrumbs and fried, their fat content tends to increase. But these things are no secret in chicken nuggets
-
most fast-service restaurants post nutritional information in stores or on websites. Each pack of chicken nuggets in the grocery store is legally required to contain a list of ingredients and complete nutrients, including fat content.
”While all ingredients are edible, they don't make a good choice when put together, said

de Shazo

, a special professor of internal medicine, pediatrics and immunology at the University of Mississippi Medical Center."

've read other reports about the ingredients in chicken nuggets, but I don't believe it. I was really surprised to see it under the microscope.
”White chicken is one of the best sources of edible lean protein,

says doctors often encourage patients to eat chicken."
fact that some companies have chosen to use artificially mixed chicken instead of low-fat chicken white meat, paste it and fry it and still call it chicken nuggets. This is actually a chicken by-product with high calories, salt, sugar and fat, and it is very unhealthy. To make matters worse, it tastes good, the kids love it, and it's sold to the kids.

it's good to eat chicken nuggets occasionally within a healthy diet.
” Dr de Shazo
said:
"
we have to learn how to distribute energy from lean proteins, fresh fruits and green vegetables in our food." We really die of obesity by eating, and we have to learn to eat a balanced diet, not all carbohydrates and fats.
” Noting that chicken nuggets are popular with children,
Dr de Shazo
, who is a strong advocate for improving the health of Mississippians, said the

experiment was not designed to comprehensively study chicken nuggets from all major fast-food chains.
"
not get results from randomly selected chicken nuggets from two prominent chains that represent all available chicken nugget products. he said,
"
I'm worried that these make up a large part of people's diet, especially children." When you fry food, you have a problem because you add a lot of calories to the food. And we eat high-fat foods like chicken nuggets, not fresh fruits and vegetables.
” If a large percentage of a particular food is fat, and it's the main food your child eats, your child will become obese and they will end up with diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, and other diseases we call mergers. Dr de Shazo
and pathologist
Dr Steven Bigler
of The Batiste Health System on Jackson Street examined the chicken nugget parts, and
Dr Steven Bigler
dyed, fixed, sliced and analyzed the chicken nuggets. physicians wrote in their paper that meat makes up about half
of
1 chicken nuggets. they wrote:
"
first restaurant chicken nuggets are made up of about
50
cm of skeletal muscle, the rest of the main fat, some blood vessels and nerves. The high-power view shows a large number of endothy and related support tissues, including scaly endothionic tissue in the skin or visceral.
” “
The second restaurant has chicken nuggets of about
40
cm of skeletal muscle and a large amount of fat and other tissue, including connective tissue and bone needles.
” He says fast-food chains don't have to mislead consumers. We just don't take the time to understand the basic nutrients
-
it's a health literacy problem
-
and push it back when our children and grandchildren don't know that unhealthy foods are at risk of obesity.
