Red caviar has become one of the most popular New Year’s delicacies. However, it may pose some health risks.
The chief specialist of the Moscow Regional Research Clinical Institute named after Vladimirsky (MONIKI) Natalya Morozova spoke about this in an interview with Ridus.ru. She noted that the main contraindication to eating sandwiches with red caviar is an allergy to it.
However, for those who have problems with the gastrointestinal tract, eating caviar can also be dangerous, causing an exacerbation of pancreatitis, cholecystitis and cholelithiasis.
In addition, doctors sometimes encounter the phenomenon of false allergies. After New Year’s, people begin to experience symptoms similar to an allergic reaction, although it is not caused by an allergen. This may be due to the consumption of a variety of snacks, spices, smoked meats and pickles, which provoke the release of histamine. Even without allergies, a person may experience itching and rashes.
The main rule is that everything should be in moderation, Morozova emphasized. Nothing bad will happen from one sandwich with red caviar, the main thing is not to overdo it with butter. It only needs to be applied a little, just a few grams.
Red caviar contains many beneficial elements for health: easily digestible protein, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamins, iodine, phosphorus and calcium. However, experts remind that red caviar also contains a significant amount of salt – approximately 10 grams per 100 grams of product. According to WHO recommendations, salt intake should not exceed 4.5 grams per day along with all food throughout the day.
Thus, there is no specific norm or number of sandwiches that is suitable for all people. It all depends on the individual characteristics of the body, the expert summarizes.
