Dutch researchers have justified cooking on the big fire — they approve, that substance acrylamide, which is formed in fried products, does not harm to a gastroenteric tract. Nevertheless, physicians warn against consumption of food stuffs fat, high-calorie and rich with carbohydrates food in large amount.

Doctors of the Maastricht University have considered influence of acrylamide among 120 thousand person. This chemical presents also in potato-free, cakes and coffee. More often people received harmful substance at consumption of coffee, confectionery products and fried dishes. Scientists have been drawn to the conclusion, that acrylamide as in products, as in meal prepared on a heat does not harm to intestines, stomach, pancreas and gullet. Chemists explain, that acrylamide is formed in products at more than 120ºС temperature, but then it is filtered and dissolved in water. However scientists suspect, that acrylamide can hormonally negatively influence the work of an organism.

According to the American-Danish research, consumption of fish during pregnancy and feedings positively influences the development of a child.

In most cases, women ate salmon, herring, mackerel, cod and flounder. These classes contain less poisonous metal.

Whole cereals flour, bread, oat flakes and crude rice reduced risk of intimate insufficiency while the raised consumption of eggs and milk with high percent of fat on the contrary promoted wrong blood circulation and pathological intimate illnesses.

This research was spent by doctors of University in Minnesota in cooperation with University of Northern Carolina. Thus physicians remind, that only in the United States nearby 5 million people suffer from intimate insufficiency.
