The doctor called pancakes dangerous for some categories of Russians
On Shrovetide, pancakes should not be abused by people with diabetes and stomach problems, as this can lead to poor health. Vera Seryozhina, an expert at the LabQuest medical company, warned about this on Wednesday, February 18.
"Even if the overall diet is balanced, only one or two pancakes per meal can be considered a safe portion without an excess of sweet and fatty additives," the doctor said in a conversation with Lenta.Ru .
The specialist warned that sweet fillings dramatically increase the glycemic index, which leads to spikes in blood glucose levels and a feeling of heaviness. She advised choosing protein fillings: lean meat, lightly salted fish, caviar, eggs, greens or cottage cheese.
Earlier that day, Oleg Abelev, PhD in Economics, Dean of the Faculty of International Finance at the All-Russian Academy of Foreign Trade of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development, said that about half of Muscovites prefer to eat pancakes with sour cream, and condensed milk and jam are also among the top three fillings, the Moscow City News Agency reports.
On February 17, Elena Pekhotina, a gastroenterologist at Krasnogorsk Hospital, said that stewed vegetables, lean meat or fish, as well as cottage cheese and spinach should be chosen as a filling for pancakes during Shrovetide week.
Nutritionist Elena Solomatina noted that adding fiber and replacing some of the white flour with alternative types make pancakes more useful. She clarified that it is better to bake diet pancakes rather than fry them, RT reports.
She recommended reducing the proportion of premium wheat flour in the dough, and instead you can use buckwheat flour or oat flakes, writes RIAMO.
In turn, nutritionist and nutritionist Anna Belousova told NSN that if you eat pancakes only for breakfast, in moderation, and choose low-fat fillings, you can eat them all on Shrovetide without harm to your health.
