The early morning sun was shining into the kitchen, and Wang Ting was frying eggs. The aroma was overflowing, and her husband Li Ming walked in, smiled and said, "It's eggs again, we eat them every day." Wang Ting nodded: "Nutrition is cheap and cheap, how good." The two looked at each other and smiled, and began their usual breakfast.
A few months later, Wang Ting and Li Ming were both diagnosed with stomach cancer. This bad news was like a bolt from the blue and shocked everyone. Their eating habits have always been very healthy, how can they suffer from this disease at the same time? Neighbors were talking, and some wondered if it had something to do with the eggs they ate every day.
The news reached Dr. Zhang at the local hospital. As an experienced oncologist, he developed a keen interest in this case. Dr. Teo decided to investigate further to see if he could find a connection.
After a detailed consultation, Dr. Zhang learned that Wang Ting and Li Ming had a habit of eating eggs for a long time. However, their cooking method is noteworthy, often frying at high temperatures, and even frying egg yolks until fully cooked.
Dr. Zhang reviewed a large amount of literature and found some interesting findings. The Chinese Nutrition Society has published an article pointing out that eggs are indeed a high-quality source of protein, rich in vitamins and minerals. However, the way it is cooked has a big impact on its nutritional value.
A study published in a domestic medical journal has shown that high-temperature cooking can lead to the production of harmful substances in eggs, such as heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Long-term intake of these substances may increase the risk of cancer.
Another study found that the iron in the well-boiled egg yolk is more easily absorbed by the body, and excessive intake may lead to oxidative stress, causing damage to the gastric mucosa.
Dr. Zhang also noticed that Wang Ting and Li Ming's diet was relatively simple, lacking fruits and vegetables. According to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, dietary diversity is essential for cancer prevention. The antioxidants in fresh fruits and vegetables neutralize free radicals and protect the gastric mucosa.

As the investigation deepened, Dr. Zhang gradually developed his own opinion. He believes that Wang Ting and Li Ming's cancer may be the result of a combination of factors, rather than simply due to the consumption of eggs. Improper cooking methods, a single diet, and possible genetic factors may all be contributing factors.
In order to help more people, Dr. Zhang decided to conduct health talks in the community. He emphasized that eggs themselves are good ingredients, and the key lies in how to eat them scientifically. He gave three suggestions:
1. Control the amount of consumption, no more than 1-2 pieces per day.
2. Choose a low-temperature cooking method, such as boiling or steaming. Avoid frying at high temperatures.
3. It is best to keep the egg yolk in a half-cooked state, which can not only retain nutrients, but also reduce the production of harmful substances.
Dr. Cheung also appealed to everyone to pay attention to dietary diversity, eat more fruits and vegetables, exercise moderately, and maintain good lifestyle habits. He said that the prevention of stomach cancer requires a comprehensive approach, and we cannot pin our hopes on a single food.
The lecture attracted a lot of attention. Residents in the community have said that they have benefited a lot and have begun to re-examine their eating habits. Some people shared their own healthy recipes, such as vegetable salad with boiled eggs, which are both nutritious and delicious.
The story of Wang Ting and Li Ming has also taken a turn for the better. While receiving regular treatment, they adjusted their lifestyle and gradually improved. Their experiences serve as a cautionary tale about eating healthy.
This case has provoked people to think deeply about what they eat in their daily lives. Experts call for a comprehensive and scientific understanding in the pursuit of health. There is no single "good" or "bad" food in any food, the key lies in how to mix it reasonably and cook it scientifically.
Over time, there has been a boom in the community for healthy living. People are starting to exchange cooking tips and share healthy recipes. The fruit and vegetable section of the supermarket has become particularly lively, and the gym has a lot of new faces.
This small community, triggered by an incident triggered by a seemingly ordinary eating habit, embarks on a new journey about health. People realize that every detail of life may affect health, and a scientific attitude and the right method are the fundamental way to pursue health.
