The harm of lamb kidneys

Summer is coming soon, and in summer many people have male friends who like to eat at food stalls. At that time, you would often see men ordering some roasted kidneys, because now everyone generally believes that what you eat can replenish what you have. Therefore, people with kidney deficiency and weak bodies will eat some kidneys to replenish their bodies. But can roasted kidneys replenish the kidneys? Especially lamb kidneys, everyone knows that they have a great nourishing effect. So today let’s talk about the harm of lamb kidneys?

Offal has high content of heavy metals. Animal offal contains a large amount of sex hormones and adrenal cortex hormones, which can enhance sperm motility and increase sexual desire. It is a folk-recognized aphrodisiac and a common food on people's tables. However, animal organs that seem to have aphrodisiac effects actually pose a risk of infertility.

Recently, experts from Taiwan pointed out that the livers and kidneys of pigs, cattle and sheep all contain different levels of heavy metal cadmium. According to the food contaminant monitoring data released by the Hubei Provincial Health Department, the content of metallic cadmium in animal kidneys exceeded the national standard value by 100 times. "Cadmium can induce degenerative changes in the structure and function of male testicles, epididymis and other tissues and organs, ultimately leading to a decline in reproductive capacity." In addition to the heavy metal cadmium, lead can also directly act on the testicles, the core organ of the male reproductive system, causing a decrease in sperm count, an increase in sperm deformity, and a decrease in sperm activity, affecting fertility.

Theoretically, the human body has a certain detoxification ability, and toxic substances will not accumulate in the body. However, if consumed in excess, the body's own detoxification ability will be insufficient, causing toxic substances to accumulate in the body. When it reaches a certain amount, it will show an explosive effect. Not only heavy metals, animal offal also has high levels of fat and cholesterol. Animal offal is easily contaminated by pathogenic microorganisms and parasites. If it is not cooked thoroughly, it will increase people's chances of contracting diseases. Some people eat animal offal with the mentality of "what you eat will replenish what you gain", but kidney patients should not eat too many animal kidneys, because patients with renal insufficiency need to limit their nutritional intake. Animal kidneys have high cholesterol levels, and eating too much may increase the burden on the kidneys and further deteriorate kidney function.

The impact on sperm is reversible. There are many reasons for oligospermia and asthenospermia, the most common ones are varicocele, genital tract inflammation and infection, immunosuppression, endocrine disorders, and taking foods and medicines that affect sperm production. The causes of oligospermia and asthenospermia should be systematically examined before symptomatic treatment can be given. For those who have a decrease in sperm count and become infertile due to taking drugs that affect sperm production, eating large amounts of animal offal, etc., as long as these behaviors that inhibit sperm production are stopped and a period of recovery has passed, sperm count can return to normal levels.
