Why Some Hotels Add Paracetamol On Food While Cooking And Should Not Be Ignored

Paracetamol is a pain reliever and fever reducer that is employed in the human body. It’s used to treat a variety of ailments, colds, muscle aches, headaches, and back pain. Many hotels nowadays provide food with added paracetamol on their menus. They hid a pain-relieving medication in meals. To lower the cost of energy used in cooking, they utilize paracetamol to soften meat. When paracetamol is heated, it loses its pain-relieving properties and becomes very acidic, making it unsafe for a human being to consume.

The proprietors of these establishments claim that paracetamol softens meat, beans, and other food that contain high proteins. They are aware that soft meat is popular among individuals, and that soft meat is equally popular among persons with dental problems. The operators of these hotels also argue that putting paracetamol in meals while it’s cooking cuts down on the time it takes to cook, which saves a lot of fuel.

Because it is significantly more inexpensive, hotels prefer to use paracetamol to soften meat. What these folks don’t realize is that paracetamol loses its pain-relieving effects when heated, and it becomes extremely acidic and hazardous to the human body. Despite health experts’ warnings, several hotels continue to utilize paracetamol in their meals.

Paracetamol has been linked to liver and renal failure, according to specialists. They have stated that the medication will change when exposed to extremely high temperatures to form toxic substances that alter the function of body organs. It transforms into benzoin and paraminophino from paracetamol.

When a drug is used in cooking, it is hydrolyzed (broken down) into components, one of which being 4-aminophenol, a highly poisonous compound to the kidneys and liver. The kidneys are destroyed by benzoin and paraminophino. If hotels want the meat to be more tender, they should soak it in salted water for around 30 minutes.
