Ingredientes para 2 personas

• Dos caballas de ración
• aceite de oliva
• sal
  Para la salsa:
• 4 cucharadas soperas de mayonesa casera espesa
• 1 yogur grieg
• hierbas aromáticas (cebollino, tomillo y perejil fresco)

Preparación

Partimos de dos caballas muy frescas, que habremos pedido que nos limpien y abran. Lo normal es que les corten la mitad de la cabeza o la cabeza entera y les hagan una abertura en el vientre para sacar las tripas y dejar el pescado bien limpio.

Como el pescado es muy escandaloso en cuanto a los olores, una opción excelente es cocinarlo al aire libre en la barbacoa. Yo tengo una pequeña barbacoa para casa, que utilizo en la terraza y es comodísima. Se trata de la barbacoa Caliu que tiene un diseño precioso y que incluso puedo llevar a la mesa.

Preparamos el fuego (carbón vegetal) y cuando está en brasas bien trabajadas (ya grises y no de color rojizo) ponemos el pescado encima. Podéis barnizar el pescado con una brocha humedecida en aceite de oliva para que se dore más rápido. Tras unos 5 minutos por cada cara estará en su punto.

Para hacer la salsa, una falsa tártara muy sencilla que le va muy bien, mezclamos la mayonesa con el yogur griego y añadimos el cebollino muy picado y una rama de tomillo también muy picada. Finalmente espolvoreamos con perejil y listo para acompañar nuestra receta de pescado a la barbacoa.

34,409 Dutch men and women (20-70 years) participated in the cohort study, all free of cancer and CVD. The intake of total and subtypes of bacterial fermented foods contained dairy products (such as yogurt and milk), cheese, vegetables and meat and was measured with a validated FFQ. The authors used the national mortality register to obtain data on the incidence and causes of death.

After a follow up of in average 15 years, 2,436 deaths were determined, whereby 1,216 caused by cancer and 727 related to CVD. After adjustment of the confounding factors (age, sex, total energy intake, physical activity, education level, hypertension, smoking habit, BMI, and intakes of fruit, vegetables and alcohol) total fermented food intake was found not to be associated with total death causes, cancer or CVD. The bacterial fermented food group consisted of 78% dairy products and 16% cheese. Only cheese was inversely associated with CVD, stroke mortality in particular.

New research reveals that a higher intake of yogurt reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes. The probiotic bacteria in yogurt were found crucial in the preventive action. On the other hand, total dairy consumption showed no association at all with type 2 diabetes.

Researchers of the Harvard School of Public Health extracted data of three large prospective cohort studies, whereby a large group of participants frequently documented on their dairy intake and were followed up every two years. Cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular patients were excluded from the conducted research. Confounding factors, such as age, BMI, lifestyle and dietary risks were adjusted. Next to the strengths of the study, we need to clarify that a diet questionnaire may not be entirely reliable and the participants were health professionals, which implies homogenous characteristics.
