preface

At this year's 315 party, the shops and food that have been thunderous have long been pulled into the "blacklist" by consumers.

I thought that I would be able to escape in this way, but I never expected that there are so many traps in life, and the official has issued an urgent reminder that first-class carcinogens have been exposed, and there are several foods that are best not to eat anymore.

After reading it, I found that the list of these first-class carcinogens is actually common in our lives, and even many people like to eat it very much, which can't help but make people feel hairy.

So, what exactly are the 3 foods that have been officially reported? What are Class 1 carcinogens?

Moldy and spoiled food

First of all, let's talk about the most common first-class carcinogen around us, that is, aflatoxin, which is generally hidden in moldy food, and many people may have a habit that they are reluctant to throw away food when it is moldy.

I thought that I could remove the moldy part and continue to eat it, or I could steam it at high temperature and think that it would kill the mold, and it would be okay to eat it like this, but this is not the case, aflatoxin is a metabolite of Aspergillus flavus.

Even if we remove the moldy part, the rest of the food is still contaminated, and aflatoxin can only be killed at a high temperature of more than 280 degrees Celsius.

Moreover, aflatoxin is also very toxic, 68 times that of arsenic, if the human body eats too much, it is likely to induce cancer, especially liver cancer, which has long been classified as a first-class carcinogen by the World Health Organization.

Therefore, we must pay attention in our daily life and do not eat aflatoxin in the stomach, according to official reports, aflatoxin often appears in moldy nuts and grains.

In addition, there are fungus that has been soaked for a long time and leads to deterioration, as well as moldy chopsticks and chopping boards, which also reminds us that when we see these moldy things, we must throw them away in time and don't have a fluke mentality.

Deep-fried food at high temperatures

I don't know if you in front of the screen love to eat barbecue, fried chicken, and barbecue? When you bite into it, the full fat bursts in your mouth, which is a pleasure, but you should be careful that if you eat too much high-temperature fried food, cancer will come to your door.

It has been reported that repeated use of high-temperature fried foods will produce something called benzopyrene, which is a first-class carcinogen that can induce lung, liver and intestinal cancers if consumed for a long time.

Not only that, benzopyrene also exists in stir-frying, I don't know if you have such a habit, when you put oil in stir-frying, because you don't know when the oil is hot, you always have to wait for the oil to smoke, then put the vegetables and stir-fry.

Or after frying, feel that there is oil in the pot, don't want to waste it, don't brush the pot and then fry the next dish, both of these behaviors are wrong, once the edible oil is heated to 270 degrees Celsius at a high temperature, it will produce compounds such as benzopyrene.

In addition, there are barbecues and barbecues that we often eat, which produce a lot of fat during the roasting process, which contains a large amount of benzopyrene, and if the barbecue uses coal, the smoke produced will allow the benzopyrene to stick to the food.

Moreover, if the barbecue and barbecue appear burnt, it is best not to eat it again, because the benzopyrene of burnt food is dozens of times that of ordinary food, which also reminds us that fried food should be eaten as little as possible.

Processed meat

I believe that many netizens have eaten sausages, bacon, ham and other foods, and these foods have a common feature, that is, processed meat, although the taste is different from fresh meat, it also has a unique flavor.

However, it should be noted that this processed meat food should not be eaten too much, because during the production process, in order to prolong the storage time, a large amount of nitrite is often added to it, which is also a common preservative.

Although nitrite is not carcinogenic, after eating food into the stomach, nitrite will be converted into nitrosamines, that is, first-class carcinogens, due to gastric acid reaction, and long-term consumption may induce stomach cancer and bowel cancer.

From this, we can see the harm of nitrosamines, so we usually eat less of this processed meat food to avoid excessive intake of nitrite.

It's worth noting, though, that nitrite isn't just found in processed meats, leftovers, especially leafy greens that have been left overnight, can also produce nitrite.

Even pickled pickles and pickles are no exception, especially those that have been opened for three days, and the nitrite content has reached its peak, which also reminds us that pickled foods should also be eaten sparingly.

Other carcinogenic factors

The above three are the list of foods that can cause cancer mentioned in the report, and these three carcinogens are aflatoxin, benzopyrene, and nitrosamines.

However, we should pay attention not only to food, but also other things in life, which can also cause cancer, such as formaldehyde, which is a harmful substance that everyone knows and many people are afraid of.

Common formaldehyde generally exists in newly renovated rooms, such as the grout glue used in doors, windows, floors and other items, which contains formaldehyde, if not treated, it can remain in the room for a long time.

Not only that, the inferior clothes on the market may also contain formaldehyde, we can distinguish by smelling, if the clothing is very pungent, it may be excessive formaldehyde.

We need to be careful of inferior tableware, many inferior tableware on the market are produced from urea-formaldehyde resin, which is very toxic and easy to release formaldehyde gas.

There is also nicotine in cigarettes, which is a key factor in the development of cancer, and we can often see in reports that some people smoke and blacken their lungs, and some people develop lung cancer as a result, which eventually leads to death.

As mentioned in the report, if you don't smoke, you have a 1 chance of developing lung cancer, and then people who smoke regularly will have a 17 times more chance of developing lung cancer, which also reminds us that smoking is harmful to our health and we must smoke less.

It is also a carcinogenic factor, as well as acetaldehyde, a metabolite of alcohol, which is usually related to alcohol, such as pharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, etc., and if you drink alcohol for a long time, the risk of cancer will be greatly increased.
