Nowadays, people talk about "cancer", and no one wants to have anything to do with it. However, in today's era of material abundance, people will inevitably come into contact with a lot of foods that cause pathological changes in the body, and some foods are often eaten in daily life. We may be inadvertently one step closer to cancer. So what are the foods that will increase our carcinogenic rate in our daily life?
1. Preserved eggs. Preserved eggs have a good taste, but during the production process, a certain amount of lead will be produced. Once consumed in large quantities, it can cause lead poisoning and cause symptoms such as insomnia, anemia, and mental retardation.
2. Monosodium glutamate. We may consume monosodium glutamate every day, but a person's daily intake of monosodium glutamate should not exceed 6g, because excessive consumption will increase the content of glutamate and sodium in the blood of the human body and reduce the body's absorption of calcium. It may also cause adverse reactions such as headaches, palpitations, and nausea.
3. Fried, barbecued, and smoked food.
This type of food is one of the well-known carcinogenic foods, but there are still many people who like to eat it. It is important to know that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzopyrene and other substances produced in the production process of this kind of food are strong carcinogens.
4. Long-term consumption of alcoholic beverages can lead to cancers such as oral cancer, laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and liver cancer.
5. Moldy food.
Foods such as rice, wheat, beans, corn, and peanuts are susceptible to moisture mildew, and carcinogenic aflatoxin can be produced when contaminated with mold.
6. Rice noodles and vermicelli.
This kind of food needs to be added to alum (i.e., potassium aluminum sulfate) in the production process, and if people often eat these foods, it is easy to cause anemia, osteoporosis and other problems. Too much heavy metal accumulated in the body can also poison the brain and nerve cells, and even cause Alzheimer's disease, so it is not recommended to consume large quantities.
Although cancer is not affected by one factor, it is caused by a variety of factors. However, by eating more organic fruits and vegetables, improving your unhealthy lifestyle, and exercising more, you can also reduce your chances of cancer.
