Unhealthy Traditional Food in China

It is reasonable to say that Cantonese cuisine is the healthiest cuisine in Chinese food, but there are still some defects, such as drinking soup (excessive sodium+excessive purine+excessive temperature, no nutrition).

Not to mention other cuisines, such as Sichuan cuisine with heavy oil and salt and Huaiyang cuisine with heavy oil and sugar. In addition, there are many preserved foods all over the country.

More importantly, there are many hot dishes in Chinese food, and the temperature exceeds the standard. Oil, salt, sugar, spicy, nitrite, purine and temperature exceeded the standard. Delicious Chinese food is really unhealthy.

Chinese food and western food are not antagonistic, so there is no need to praise or criticize anyone. What's more, western cuisines are very different, and the word western food is inherently inaccurate. My view is that Chinese food and western food in the modern sense are essentially the daily diets designed by idle people who have just solved the problem of food and clothing and are afraid of poverty to celebrate poverty alleviation after the industrial revolution or even after World War II. A large part of the dishes have a history of no more than 200 years and even a taste of no more than 20 years.

It's just that people in western developed countries discovered this problem earlier than we did, and also modernized and improved the "post-industrial revolution diet" earlier than we did (such as the gradual popularization of salads and the gradual fading out of kimchi), so at present, food in western and southern Europe is healthier than Chinese food, and I think this sentence is correct.
