| Shark Fin |
Eating shark fin soup has become a tradition in Chinese culture to celebrate important events and is considered beneficial for some diseases. Actually, whether the efficacy of this shark fin?
Intake of shark fins has become an industry worth billions of dollars because the soup is considered a luxury food, classy and a menu of honor in a wedding, birthday or other important events.
Based on Chinese medical book known to benefit from this shark fin include skin rejuvenation, increased appetite, useful for energy, for kidney, lung, bone and other body parts.
Presumably these health benefits derived from shark fins and snout made of cartilage. Sharks are known to have strong resistance to infection and immunity against cancer. Scientists trying to link this with proteins and minerals in shark fin cartilage.
Some other health benefits are also thought to be derived from this shark fin, such as treating illness
artrithis. Researchers from the University of Maryland Medical Center said one of the sources of non-human chondroitin is a shark fin. Chondroitin helps the body by stimulating the growth of cartilage to relieve symptoms associated with osteoarthritis.
While the American Cancer Society reported anti-cancer drug under development in June 2010 using cartilage from shark fins. Researchers write this shark fin cartilage can prevent or slow the growth of new blood vessels in the human body.
In addition, studies conducted in 1995 Italian researchers showed that the shark fin cartilage acts as an anti-inflammatory drugs (anti-inflammatory). This cartilage contains one active acid (eicosapentaenoic acid) in the fatty tissue that attacks the body's tissues are inflamed.
Despite the alleged shark fins have health benefits, but in 2009, WildAid report disclosed if people continue to eat shark fin extinction will occur and cause widespread ecological disturbances and affect the economic loss and reduced food security.
The arrest and killing of sharks that occur due to a massive increase in demand will threaten the existence of sharks. More than 100 million sharks are killed each year, mostly just diambli fins only. Own shark populations have declined by 80 percent in the last 50 years, as reported by China Daily.
Shark fin is one of the seafood products in the world's most expensive and most consumers of shark fin is China and Japan. One bowl of shark fin soup range from U.S. $ 50 to U.S. $ 1,000.
But now experts advise people to be more wise in choosing the food menu and a campaign to save the shark population.
