Orange juice is a very nutritious food in the eyes of many people, but a study published in Clinical Oncology by Brown University in the United Kingdom showed that drinking a glass of orange juice a day increased the risk of skin cancer by 25%; people who ate a whole grapefruit 3 times a week had a 41% risk of cancer. What's going on?
Study leader Koichering and his team analyzed health data from more than 63,000 female nurses and 41,000 men between 1980 and 2010. Every 2 to 4 years, they conducted a detailed questionnaire survey of respondents to analyze their diet and lifestyle habits, including how often to eat grapefruit, orange, grapefruit juice or orange juice. During the follow-up period, 1840 people were diagnosed with melanoma.
The analysis data showed that those who ate citrus fruits 3 to 4 times a week had a 10% increased risk of melanoma compared with eating citrus less than 2 times a week; those who consumed citrus fruits more than 1.5 times the average level per day had a 36% higher risk of melanoma.
Of all citrus fruits, grapefruit has the highest risk. After excluding factors such as the amount of sun exposure and the geographic location of respondents, the link between citrus fruits and skin cancer remained strong.
Kojchlin notes that it may be that certain compounds in citrus fruits are causing melanoma. Citrus fruits contain psoralen and furancoumarin, a photoreceptor chemical that makes the skin more sensitive to sunlight. He said they would do further research to confirm the association to advise and guide people on whether they should drink orange juice or eat grapefruit. However, the researchers recommend that people who regularly consume fresh citrus fruits should be extra careful about sun exposure and be sure to take sun protection measures when outdoor activities.
In addition to freshly squeezed orange juice, there are also many concentrated juices.
The data shows that from 12 years, the sales of all categories of orange juice in the United States fell by 12%, of which concentrated orange juice contributed the most, down 40%. It seems that everyone really can't drink.
As a result, the company began to lay off a wide range of employees, and 60% of the employees on the packaging production line were gone. It seems that the company really can't make money.
Let's take a look at the process of making orange juice that makes people feel unhealthy.
After the original juice is heated and sterilized, the water evaporates into a concentrated juice, because there is almost no flavor of the juice at this time, so the flavor and water are added to maintain the fresh taste, and then a bottle of orange juice full of "energy" is completed. I heard that most manufacturers have hired professional luxury perfume teams to make flavors for juices. So you can think of it as the cheapest and most affordable Dior peripheral.....
Let's talk a little bit about the downsides of juice!
First there is a lot of sugar, and then there is obesity and diabetes. Obesity will promote elevated blood lipids, produce coronary artery sclerosis, hypertension and other diseases, and then very prone to cerebral infarction.
Diabetes is an incurable disease, a bunch of complications and difficult to treat, the most terrible is diabetic foot, the toes fell one after another, yes, and the young teeth to change the teeth when similar, a careless tooth fell off, this time is a careless toe is gone....
Juice itself is a worrying food. Taking apple juice as an example, a cup of 350ml of apple juice may require 3 to 4 apples, then the sugar of about 3 apples is ingested, and then some people are not addicted, they will have another cup, you can calculate how much sugar you have ingested at this time! On the contrary, if you only eat apples, I'm afraid one a day is enough (I can't eat one a week). So, drinking juice will make you eat too much sugar before you know it.
However, I am afraid that the fat star people will see this and silently "huh" in their hearts. Because even their coffee is low-calorie American, milk only drinks skimmed, will they drink juice...
