Do you have a soft spot for betel nut? Perhaps in the eyes of some people, chewing betel nut seems to have become a unique fashion symbol, with a little uninhibited and cool. However, when we unveil the mystery of betel nut, the truth is far more cruel than we imagined.
Did you know that some voices on the Internet cleverly disguise "cancer" as "health", and gently portray "death" as "enjoyment"? The reason behind this is because betel nut has been classified as a Class 1 carcinogen by the World Health Organization. Arecine, the culprit behind betel nut, has been injected subcutaneously into mice to show that it can inhibit its general activity, which is enough to see its high content of harmful substances.
Imagine that while you are enjoying the ephemeral pleasure of betel nut, the rough fibers are relentlessly wearing down your oral mucosa, and every chew is a provocation to oral health. Over time, this wear and tear can trigger a malignant transformation of the mouth, leaving you in endless pain.
What's even more shocking is that long-term chewing of betel nut will not only cause loss of taste, increased appetite, and shaky teeth, but also make your teeth darken, gum recession, and may even induce malignant diseases such as oral cancer. The state has long banned the sale of betel nuts, but there are always some merchants who cunningly exploit the loopholes of the law and try to cover up the carcinogenic truth of betel nuts with "selected green fruit betel nuts, high-quality wolfberries and traditional craftsmanship secrets" as a gimmick.
Let us call together to stay away from betel nut, cherish life and protect health. Don't let those disguised "wellness" lies blind you, let us protect a healthy and beautiful future together.
The harm of betel nut should not be underestimated, don't joke with your own life! Don't wait until the disease strikes to regret it!
