Should you eat chicken with the skin on and how does it affect your health?

Nutritionists believe that chicken skin contains quite a lot of harmful substances and fat.

Unfortunately, the quality of some food products in the store does not meet standards - chicken may fall into this category.

Let's take a look at why nutritionists don't recommend eating chicken skin.

Why can't this be done?

Chicken skin contains antibacterial drugs and drugs to stimulate the growth of poultry - they are used to feed the chicken during growth.

Before being sent to the store, the chicken may be treated with antiseptics and antibiotics to prevent bacteria from developing on it.

Harmful substances can accumulate in bones, liver and lungs. Bacteria can even accumulate in organs – fillets or legs.

Therefore, it is better to buy chicken in trusted stores - under no circumstances buy it on the street from random people.
