"If your tongue is like that, you may want to have your blood checked. The doctor's words made Pan Lili's heart tighten.
Originally, she was just thinking that mulberries were on the market and went to the supermarket to buy some jam, but because of a friend's dissuasion from high-sugar foods, the two began to discuss health topics.
Pan Lili, a 41-year-old librarian, is introverted and has a regular lifestyle, and has almost no other bad habits except for an irrepressible love for sweets.
One of her recent hobbies is researching the various jam practices.
She gets especially excited whenever the mulberries are on the market because mulberry jam is her favorite.
But her friends often remind her that consuming too much sugar is not good for her health.
"Did you know that although mulberries are healthy, they are too high in sugar when turned into jam. Her friend's words left her a little speechless, and she could only respond by buying a small amount.
This time, however, Pan Lili's focus was diverted. Her tongue has been unusually rosy lately, and she thought it was caused by her favorite hot drink, but the doctor told her that it could be a sign of a health problem.
After a series of tests, the results were shocking - acute myeloid leukemia.
And this leukemia is related to a habit she has been frequent lately: she goes to the supermarket no less than 20 times a week to find all kinds of fresh fruit and ingredients for making jam.
This seemingly healthy and fun-filled hobby has hidden health risks.
Pan's dedication to jam has left her constantly exposed to large amounts of pesticides and chemical additives, especially those used to keep the fruit fresh.
Long-term cumulative exposure to pesticides and chemical additives may be one of the potential triggers for her leukemia.
While direct evidence is not yet sufficient, studies have shown that long-term exposure to certain chemicals, especially pesticides and certain food additives, may increase the risk of certain types of cancer, doctors explained.
The data show that people who are exposed to these settings for a long time have a significantly higher proportion of leukemia and other blood disorders than the general population.
The doctor also shared other similar cases, such as a cleaner who often used chemical detergents, who was also diagnosed with acute leukemia.
While these examples are not exhaustive, they are a warning to the general public: the potential health effects of chemicals in the environment, even those that seem harmless in everyday products, cannot be ignored.
In Pan Lili's case, the doctor advised her to reduce the number of trips to the supermarket and choose organic or low-pesticide residue fruits.
Make homemade low- or sugar-free jam at home whenever possible to reduce the risk of your condition getting worse.
At this point in the story, we can't help but think about a question:
In the pursuit of nature and health, how to enjoy the gifts of nature while avoiding possible health risks?
How do you balance convenience with health risks in modern life?
To address this question, we need to analyze the impact of chemicals used in modern agricultural production on human health.
First and foremost, understanding the types and amounts of these chemicals is key.
Secondly, through extensive epidemiological studies, it is determined which chemical components pose a potential threat to human health.
Finally, develop appropriate health guidelines and policies to reduce these risks and ensure that the public can enjoy food safely while maintaining a healthy life.
