Eating chicken is harmful and easy to get 3 types of cancer? Let's be honest: if you want to live longer, you really have to eat less of the 2 types of meat

Early in the morning, Uncle Liu's friend group exploded, and an article claiming that "eating chicken may cause cancer" was frantically forwarded.

Uncle Liu clicked on it and took a look, it was full of truth, and also cited the research of Oxford University, and Uncle Liu felt that the whole person was not good after reading it.

He is an authentic Cantonese person, he is simply a feast without chicken, and after eating chicken for so many years, why did he suddenly become a "carcinogen"?

The more Uncle Liu thought about it, the more scared he became, so he quickly picked up his mobile phone and made an appointment for a physical examination, planning to have a good physical examination.

With the improvement of health awareness, middle-aged and elderly people are paying more and more attention to healthy diet.

Recently, the statement that "eating chicken is easy to cause cancer" has been circulating on the Internet, triggering widespread discussion, what is the truth?

University of Oxford: 3 types of cancer can you get from eating chicken?

A study by the University of Oxford, published in the journal Epidemiology and Public Health, covered 475,000 United Kingdom aged between 37 and 73.

The research team began in 2006 and followed the participants' eating habits and their health until 2014.

Through nearly nine years of research, scientists have tried to find a link between daily diet and the risk of disease.

The results of the study showed that those who ate 30 grams more chicken per day had an 11% increased risk of prostate cancer, a 20% increased risk of melanoma, and a 26% increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma compared to those who consumed less chicken in their diet.

These data may seem worrying at first glance, but it's important to understand that this type of study can only reveal an association between risks and does not prove that chicken directly causes cancer.

And, another study by United States National Cancer Institute, which followed more than half a million people for a decade, found that people who regularly ate chicken had a lower risk of cancer than those who regularly ate red meat.

This suggests that chicken may be a relatively healthier option when it comes to meat choices.

Chickens contain a lot of hormones and are prone to precocious puberty when eaten?

Many people worry that the chicken sold in the market contains a lot of hormones, fearing that it can lead to precocious puberty in children, however, there is no scientific basis for this claim.

In fact, chickens are only able to grow quickly and reach market standards in about 42 days because of the support of excellent genetics and high-quality feed.

In addition, most countries, such as China, have explicitly banned the use of hormones in the process of raising chickens, and strict inspection procedures ensure that the chickens sold in the market are safe and worry-free.

Even in rare cases, hormone residues are present in chicken, regular cooking temperatures are sufficient to destroy these hormones without affecting the body's endocrine system.

How many of the 4 rumors about chicken have you believed?

1. Ten years of arsenic in chicken head race?

This statement actually stems from the concern that toxic substances may accumulate in the chicken's head.

However, any food ingested by chickens will go through metabolic processes in the stomach, liver, and kidneys, and will not accumulate in the head in particular.

2. Can't eat chicken buttocks, there is toxin accumulation?

Although the tail fat glands and supraluminal sac of chickens are inedible, these parts have been removed during the slaughtering process of chickens sold in the market, and we do not need to worry too much about this problem.

3. The tip of the chicken wing is the place where the injection is given, so can't you eat it?

Antibiotics used in the breeding process are usually injected into the flaccid parts of the wings, not the tips of the wings.

Moreover, even if the injection site is injected, the drug will be distributed throughout the system, and will not be concentrated only at the injection site, and the wingtips are completely safe to eat.

4. Can't eat chicken neck with lymph?

Lymphoid tissue does exist in chicken necks, but they are mostly located under the skin.

Adequate heating during normal cooking can reduce any risks, and if you're really worried, you can choose to peel and eat.

It is these 2 types of meat that should really be eaten less

1. Red meat

Including lamb, beef, pork, horse, rabbit, donkey and venison, etc., raw meat has a red color.

A report published by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) states that consuming more than 100 grams of red meat per day may increase the risk of cancer by 17%.

In addition, the World Health Organization classified red meat as a "probable carcinogen" (class 2A) in 2015.

2. Processed meat

For example, cured or processed meats such as bacon, salted fish, bacon and ham may produce harmful substances such as heterocyclic amines and N-nitroso compounds during processing.

These substances have been shown to increase the risk of cancer in the digestive system, including organs such as the stomach, intestines and pancreas.

We should remain rational and not believe rumors, a healthy diet is the key, and chicken is a high-quality protein source, and reasonable consumption of chicken is beneficial to health.

Let's take action to pursue a healthy lifestyle and stay away from myths.
