Beans are rich in high-quality plant-based protein and have always been a very nourishing beverage. There are many myths when drinking beans, including kidney damage, increasing cancer risk, and even drinking beans reduces weight, which will make them worse. Professional nutritionists point out that ordinary people should not be overly concerned about drinking bean paste. Those with poor kidney function should not drink in large quantities to avoid increasing kidney burden. Female cancer friends such as breast cancer or ovarian cancer should discuss the intake with doctors before drinking bean paste. As for drinking beans to reduce weight, you need to know how to replace protein foods such as meat and control the heat, so that you can reduce weight successfully.

Drinking bean paste increases the chance of cancer in women? Normal people drink bean curds and have different relationships with cancer patients!

Protein is an important nutrient in humans, mainly divided into animal and plant proteins. The animal protein source is meat, and the plant protein source is bean products. Soybean is not only rich in plant-based proteins, but also rich in soybean anhydrides called "phytoestrogens". Therefore, it has been reported in the public that "drinking soybeans may increase cancer risks in women."

Zhang Silan, a nutritionist at Neihu Guotai Clinic, pointed out that drinking bean paste will not cause cancer, but there are already female cancer friends such as breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Can they drink as much bean paste? Discuss appropriate intake with the nutritionist or attending physician.

Can drinking beans hurt your kidneys? If there are problems with normal people and kidney function, the difference is huge!

The kidneys are responsible for the retribution of protein, and many people are worried that drinking beans will cause kidney damage. Zhang Slan pointed out that there are many factors that cause poor kidney function, including diseases and living conditions, and will not be caused by the single factor of drinking beans. However, if people with poor kidney function take up too much protein, it may indeed affect kidney function, such as decreased urine and increased urea nitrogen, and if they eat over-eating, there may also be an electrolysis imbalance. You must be careful.

Therefore, Gao Yuwen, a nutritionist at Xinguang Hospital, reminds: If you have poor kidney function, you will have a huge amount of beans that you drink 1,500cc a day. People with poor kidney function should discuss with the kidney doctor, calculate the protein intake throughout the day, and evaluate how much beans you can drink in a day to avoid affecting the kidney function.

How to drink beans healthily? How to drink beans to reduce weight?

Zhang Slan pointed out that most of the meats with animal protein contain raw and fatty acids. Excessive consumption will increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. It is recommended that one to two meals a day can be used to replace animal protein with yellow bean products. For example, a cup of 240cc beans is equivalent to one or two meats (about three finger-width meats), which means that drinking a cup of beans will reduce consumption of one or two meats. Therefore, the protein extraction from yellow bean products such as bean paste can reduce the extraction of meat and fatty acids.

If you want to drink low-sugar beans to reduce weight, Zhang Slan emphasized that the first thing to do is to understand that the protein and heat content of a portion of meat and a portion of beans is the same. If you keep drinking beans, it will still increase the heat content, which is not conducive to reducing weight.

For people who want to reduce weight, Gao Yuwen suggested that you can drink sugar-free beans instead of afternoon tea, which is a small snack, which can increase the feeling of foot and reduce the intake of refined sugar. For reducing weight, the key is to control the heat. Bean paste itself has heat and must replace the meat so that the more you drink, the more you drink, the more you lose weight, the weight will increase.
