In the New Year, salted fish and bacon are naturally indispensable. They all want to take advantage of the Spring Festival to feast, but most of these foods in the process of processing and production use the method of pickling and smoking, which is easy to produce nitrosamines, nitrosamines and benzopyrene substances. That said, there is a risk of carcinogenesis! However, there is a risk ≠ will get cancer. Here's the "right posture" to teach you how to eat salted fish and bacon!
“
01
Rinse and soak the bacon before cooking.
Before cooking, boil the bacon and salted fish in water for 5 to 10 minutes, then remove the broth after cooking. Because after boiling, the nitrite is dissolved in the water, and the soup is removed, which reduces the nitrite content in the bacon and reduces the toxicity. In addition, high-temperature cooking also has a certain killing effect on microorganisms. Try to choose the heating method of steaming, boiling and frying, and avoid frying and frying at high temperatures. The higher the temperature, the more nitrosamines are generated.
02
Mix ingredients appropriately.
It is recommended to eat salted fish and bacon as much as possible with fresh vegetables, intake of high-quality and large amounts of vitamin C, plant pigments and other reducing substances, play a certain antioxidant effect. Green leafy vegetables can increase the intake of dietary fiber, promote bowel movements, and reduce the absorption of harmful substances. It can be eaten with dried vegetables to neutralize the salty taste and reduce the intake of fat.
03
Limited Time and Limited Quantity.
After all, there are carcinogenic factors such as benzopyrene and nitrite in salted fish bacon, and the content of table salt is also large, and eating too much is not conducive to health, so it is necessary to "limit the number" and "limit the amount". Specifically, it is recommended to consume it once a week, and the amount of each consumption should not exceed 100 grams.
04
Appropriate remedy after a meal.
After eating salted fish and bacon, it is recommended to drink some light green tea to enhance the antioxidant capacity of the body and promote the metabolism and discharge of harmful substances. It can increase the intake of yogurt, probiotics, water, and promote metabolism. Half an hour after a meal, eat fresh fruits appropriately, supplement vitamins and dietary fiber, and promote metabolism.
Tips
≠ at risk will get cancer
1. Most of the nitrites ingested in people's daily diets will be excreted with urine like "passers-by", and only converted into nitrosamines under specific conditions. So-called specific conditions, including pH, microorganisms and temperature. Therefore, under normal conditions, the nitrite in the diet will not cause harm to human health, and only excessive intake of nitrite will really be harmful.
2. The mainland food additive use standards stipulate that the maximum use of nitrite is 0.01%, and the maximum use of nitrate is 0.05%. Under normal circumstances, eating salted fish and bacon will not be poisoned. Moreover, antioxidants such as vitamin C and vitamin E contained in fruits and vegetables will counteract the damage of nitrates and nitrites to the human body. Therefore, if you don't eat it often, it will not affect your health.
