Garlic is a common condiment in the kitchen, whether it is a chef in the south or a chef in the north, usually when making meat food, they like to add garlic, the main purpose is to go fishy. Usually cook, put the crushed garlic into the oil pot, stir-fry the garlic flavor, this step is called the stew pot.
Many people usually have such a habit when cooking, but it is recently rumored in the circle of friends that such fried garlic will cause cancer, which leads to many people being overwhelmed.
01
When stir-frying garlic, will it produce carcinogens? These 3 carcinogenic foods, advise you to eat less
The first thing to show here is that the garlic stew pot does produce carcinogens, acrylamide. But the number inside is very small, this substance is called a class 2A carcinogen, not in the class 1 carcinogen.
Experts have tested animals, acrylamide into animals does have potential neurotoxicity, genotoxicity and carcinogenicity, but studies have not yet confirmed the association between acrylamide intake, levels of related biochemical markers and human cancer risk. Therefore, it cannot be said that as long as the intake of acrylamide will be carcinogenic.
After a large number of studies, it has been found that when cooking garlic in a stew pot, the average per 1 gram of garlic can only produce 0.2 micrograms of acrylamide on average. In addition, garlic is only used as an ingredient when simmering, generally a few grams of garlic is enough, and the acrylamide that can be produced is really limited.
Therefore, in life, we must pay attention to the cooking method of food, not only garlic stew pot will produce acrylamide, including the coffee we usually drink, potato chips, brown sugar and other foods also contain acrylamide. Everything contains toxins, nothing is completely non-toxic, and the dose is the key to determining the toxicity of the substance. Therefore, the garlic power circulating on the Internet will produce acrylamide, specifically the specific content of acrylamide, which is not sufficient.
02
Fried food
Usually see fried foods, including fries, potato chips, fritters and other foods, of which the highest acrylamide content is Fries, containing acrylamide amount of 390 μg / kg. If we eat such food often in our lives, it is very easy to cause cancer!
Smoked food
Many people usually like to eat smoked food, the content is very high, the common is grilled meat, barbecue or grilled sausage, if the amount of intake is more, it may increase the probability of carcinogenesis. Usually try to eat some light meat, which can not only supplement nutrition, but also be healthier.
Moldy food
The World Health Organization has long listed aflatoxin as a kind of substance, which is mainly in moldy food, and after entering the human body, the damage to liver cells is relatively large, and excessive intake may cause acute poisoning, and even increase the probability of liver cancer.
Now there are more and more people suffering from cancer, mainly related to bad living habits and eating habits, so usually, pay attention to diet, change some bad living habits and eating habits, and fundamentally improve your immunity and resistance. At the same time, it is necessary to improve their awareness of cancer prevention and anti-cancer, and conduct regular physical examinations every year, which is more conducive to finding some abnormalities in the body in time, reducing the risk of disease, and actively preventing cancer.
