1. Bag baby cabbage

2. Chayote
Chayote is a type of vegetable, and many people say that this vegetable will produce acrylamide during cooking, and regular intake will increase the risk of a variety of cancers, including stomach cancer, intestinal cancer, liver cancer, etc.
However, relevant studies have found that although chayote will produce acrylamide during cooking, the amount produced is very small and does not pose any threat to human health, so there is no need to worry about chayote causing cancer.
3. Tomatoes
It is rumored on the Internet that unripe tomatoes contain a variety of harmful substances, and eating them before they are fully ripe can cause malignant tumors, including bowel cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, etc.
It is true that unripe tomatoes contain tomatoine, but the amount is not enough to cause cancer, and at most nausea or vomiting can occur. Most people will observe before eating tomatoes, and they will eat them when they are fully ripe, because unripe tomatoes have a bad taste and cannot be eaten, so as long as the tomatoes are put in a ripe state before eating, they will naturally not produce harmful substances.
