Hello everyone, I am your friend Forget Worry, someone asked me, Forget Worry, you can't live without coffee, can you be sure that it is not quietly harming your health?Recently, coffee has been detected to contain carcinogens, can I still drink it?
I know that in this fast-paced workplace competition, there are always a few things that make us feel that life is good, and for me, coffee is one of the placebos.
Let's get down to business, there was news recently that carcinogens have been found in 59 coffee chains. As soon as the news came out, I suddenly felt dizzy. After all, who would have thought that the cup of bitterness with a little sweetness in the cup he enjoyed every day would become a hidden health crisis?
However, after reading the content of the news clearly, I would like to say to those who are worried: take a deep breath and relax, everything is not as bad as you think. You know, the carcinogen mentioned in the news is acrylamide, which is only a class 2A carcinogens, which means that its carcinogenicity is relatively low, not the kind of horror substance that becomes cancerous as soon as it is contacted.
Hearing this, you may ask, forget your worries, what is a 2A carcinogen?
To put it simply, the World Health Organization divides carcinogens into three categories: one is solid evidence;Group 2a is the possibility of causing cancer, but there is not so much strong evidence;The third category is that there is no evidence, or in other words, it may not cause cancer at all.
If we want to talk about the risk of class 2a carcinogens, we have to include the dose. To reach the point where acrylamide is harmful to the human body, you have to drink hundreds of cups of coffee at a time, and you should be more worried about how long your tested bladder can last.
Therefore, there is no real need to be too anxious about this carcinogen. Just as many people struggle to achieve the goal of 8 glasses of water a day but struggle to achieve it, it is almost impossible for acrylamide to cause us harm through the coffee or tea we drink every day.
But then again, why is acrylamide in our coffee?
In fact, it is a substance that is naturally formed during the cooking process. You may not know that acrylamide can be produced in the morning fritters, midday pancakes, burgers, fries and other fried dishes in the evening.
So, you want to run away from it?Unless you opt for the original way of eating raw, but I guess that's probably not realistic for most people.
Now let's face the brutal truth: our lives are full of carcinogens, from alcohol and second-hand smoke to paint and car exhaust.
If we really panic at every possible carcinogen, wouldn't our lives become an endless horror blockbuster?
We should be smart and focus on things that will really affect our longevity and quality of life.
Yes, when we go out to buy vegetables, the pollutants in the air and ultraviolet rays may be harmful to health, but we can't give up the little things in life because of choking.
Also, those happy moments in a café are not carcinogens that bother us – they are beautiful moments that we should cherish.
Hopefully, this topic will help you release some unnecessary anxiety, even if the environment is full of challenges, and let us learn to cherish the ease and relaxation after every deliberation. If you like this issue, don't forget to like and follow, and we'll see you next time!
