Winter is coming, and everyone likes to eat bacon and sausages. Have you ever noticed that some bacon is transparent and some is not?Why is that?In fact, the main reason for transparent bacon is that the fat part of it is transparent. If you want to make delicious bacon, you should first choose pork belly with three layers of flowers, because the fat and lean taste is the best. After cooking at high temperatures, the fat of fatty meat liquefies, giving it a transparent state.
Therefore, transparent bacon is because of the fatty part in it. However, you may have a more important question about bacon and sausages, and that is whether they are safe and healthy. With the rise of people's attention to general health and the concept of health preservation, there are more and more claims that eating bacon causes cancer. According to the carcinogenic list released by the World Health Organization's International Center for Research on Cancer, bacon, sausage, and Chinese-style salted fish are all included.
Bacon is made by curing and smoking, and the salt and nitrite components in it are prone to carcinogens in the stomach and intestines. Experiments have shown that long-term intake of these ingredients increases the risk of many types of cancer. In addition, the high-temperature smoking method of bacon produces a large number of harmful chemicals, such as benzopyrene. These harmful substances are potentially harmful to human health.
Therefore, although bacon and sausage are delicious and tempting, they should be enjoyed in moderation and should not be eaten in large quantities for a long time, so as not to pose a potential threat to health. While pursuing food, we should also pay attention to health and choose a healthier way to eat, so that we can truly enjoy the happiness brought by food. Bacon, the delicacy of the meat hides a worrying health risk.
A number of recent experimental studies have found that long-term intake or inhalation of foods containing high amounts of benzopyrene, such as bacon and sausages, will significantly increase the risk of liver cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer and other cancers. Benzopyrene is a carcinogen that hides in smoked foods and poses a potential threat to our health. This risk is especially acute for smokers and people who have been exposed to smoke for a long time.
Therefore, we need to be aware of the potential hazards of bacon and not only avoid making it ourselves, but also reduce our bacon intake. Protect the health of yourself and your family, start with a healthy diet, and achieve the goal of a healthy life.
