Lin Feng is a high school teacher who lives in a quiet town with his wife Chen Xiao and daughter Xiaoyu.
In order to save money, Chen Xiao always makes his own wontons at home. She likes to buy large quantities of processed and coloured wonton wrappers at the market, store them in her fridge, and pack them with her own fillings.
The family sat around eating hot wontons and had a great time.
Recently, Lin Feng found that there was something wrong with his body. He began to experience frequent stomach upset, decreased appetite, and weight loss. He blamed it on the heavy teaching work and the pressure of life, and didn't pay much attention to it.
Until a severe abdominal pain, he couldn't bear it anymore, and Chen Xiao hurriedly sent him to the hospital.
"Judging from various indicators, Mr. Lin is likely to have pancreatic cancer. "
The news of the thunder on the flat ground caught Lin Feng and Chen Xiao off guard.
"Doctor, how is this possible? I always thought that pancreatic cancer would only occur in the elderly, and I am only in my early 40s, and my daily routine is very regular, how could I get this disease?" Lin Feng asked in disbelief.
What made them even more devastating was that in the next few days, Chen Xiao and Xiaoyu also had similar symptoms.
After examination, the results plunged this originally happy family into despair - Chen Xiao and Xiaoyu were also diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and both were in the middle and advanced stages.
"Doctor, what's going on, how could our family suffer from this terrible disease at the same time?" asked Chen Xiaoweeping.
When the doctor learned that they were eating homemade ravioli almost every day, the doctor's expression became even more solemn. "Are the wonton wrappers you use regular white flour wrappers or colourful frozen flour wrappers?
If the former is fine, it is basically fresh, but if the flour skin with color is frozen, after the treatment of additives and various colors, and you freeze it for a long time, it is easy to breed all kinds of bacteria and other harmful substances, and at the same time, it will lose too much nutrients.
Which one do you use, and have you ever known the types and dosages of wonton wrappers and coloring?"
Lin Feng and Chen Xiao looked at each other, "We always choose to buy colorful frozen wonton wrappers in large quantities, because the wrapped wontons are very beautiful, but we have never learned about additives and pigments or anything, we just think it is convenient, beautiful and affordable." "
The doctor sighed and explained: "Judging from your situation, it is likely that the wonton wrappers have been frozen for too long, coupled with the interaction of various additives and pigments, resulting in the production of certain harmful substances such as nitrite and aflatoxin, which have led to the occurrence of pancreatic cancer over time.
After nitrite enters the human body and protein metabolism, it is easy to produce carcinogenic nitrosamines, and it is easy to produce carcinogenic aflatoxin and other harmful substances if it is purchased frozen flour skin.
You have been eating this wonton skin for a long time, and various effects have led to the occurrence of pancreatic cancer, but the main reason is that the wonton skin has additives and coloring!"
Chen Xiao covered his face and couldn't cry: "It's all my fault, in order to be cheap, I didn't pay attention to food safety, which harmed the health of the whole family......"
"The most important thing at the moment is to actively cooperate with the treatment, and at the same time, we must also learn a lesson and remind more people to pay attention to food safety and stay away from unhealthy eating habits," the doctor comforted.
Having said that, the world is declining day by day, and the food safety problem in the mainland is really a long way to go!"
What happened to Lin Feng's family is thought-provoking.
In this fast-paced era, many people overlook the importance of food safety.
Many processed foods on the market today, especially semi-finished ingredients, are likely to contain excessive amounts of food additives, such as preservatives, colorants, flavor enhancers, etc., if quality control is not strict.
For example, regular consumption of barbecue and pickled foods will ingest a large amount of carcinogens, and long-term overeating, high-fat, high-protein diet will increase the burden on the pancreas;
Excessive alcohol consumption can directly damage pancreatic tissue. These seemingly ordinary eating behaviors can become the cause of pancreatic cancer.
To prevent pancreatic cancer, we need to start with our daily diet.
1. When buying items, learn to read food labels carefully, choose safe and healthy ingredients, and try to avoid processed foods that contain excessive additives.
2. It is necessary to mix the diet reasonably, eat less pickled, barbecue and other high-risk foods, reduce the intake of animal fat, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and ensure balanced nutrition.
3. Develop good living habits, do not smoke, drink less, exercise moderately, and maintain an optimistic and positive attitude.
The tragedy of Lin Feng's family is a wake-up call for us: health starts with "eating". Don't ignore the safety hazards behind the food because of the greed for cheap and the desire to save trouble.
Write at the end
Let's start from now, start from every meal, every day, carefully purchase every ingredient, cultivate good eating and living habits, and use wisdom and action to build a healthy line of defense for ourselves and our families.
Only when everyone takes action, starting from me and from the side, can we truly shine healthy sunshine into everyone's life.
