TRUE OR FALSE
1) Does chicken breast contain cholesterol?
Yes, there is nearly around 140 mg in one medium grilled chicken breast. Even though there is cholesterol in chicken, it is also an excellent source of tryptophan, a very good source of niacin and protein and a good source of vitamin B6, selenium and phosphorous.
Always, remember to remove the skin of the chicken breast before grilling or cooking to reduce cholesterol amounts.
2) Does the color of the egg shell affect nutritional composition of the egg?
Shell color is determined by the breed of the hen; for chickens, it can range from bright white to brown. Shell color has no effect on quality, flavor or nutrition.
3) Chicken is rich in fats and causes weight gain.
False ... chicken can still taste great in a “low-fat” dish that appeals to your health-focused lifestyle. Trim the visible fat in the cut before you cook it. Apply roasting, grilling, braising, broiling or pan-broiling as cooking methods; avoid frying. Use flavorful ingredients such as fresh garlic, hot and sweet peppers or fresh ginger to add flavor with no extra fat. Substitute whole milk, oil, butter, eggs and mayonnaise for lower-fat substitutes.
4) Poultry from the US is subjected to the most stringent safety standards.
True ... Poultry producers in the United States must abide by rigorous quality control standards that have been developed in cooperation with USDA and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). All products are tested and evaluated to ensure that they not only meet U.S. government standards, but also the requirements of the end-user.
