Is pork fattier than chicken meat?
Many people think that, but it is not always true. Recent American research has even shown that tenderloin pork has less fat than skinless chicken. That used to be different. The last research by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) was carried out in 1991. Compared with that research, pork now has on average 16% less fat. The proportion of saturated fat has even decreased by 27%! This change has been brought about by improved feeds and breeding methods. Moreover, this study also showed that there has been an increase in essential building materials such as vitamin B6 and niacin (niacin is one of the forms of vitamin B3. It promotes good blood circulation and is good for cholesterol levels).
