3 types of food warned to be carcinogenic

Eating is a very important thing in life, eating is directly related to our health. Some foods not only do not provide nutrition, they also promote cancer cells, such foods are called "carcinogens".

According to recommendations, the 3 types of food below are a type of carcinogen, warning people to eat less.

1. Dried salted fish

Fishermen first use salt to marinate the fish, then dry it for preservation. Salted fish has a long shelf life and has gradually become a traditional dish with a unique flavor. It is also because of the high salinity and the exposure to the fish to lose all the water during the production process that the fish produces a large amount of nitrite.

It is not that you cannot eat completely dried salted fish, but try to eat as little as possible. Before eating, you should soak and wash it many times, and when eating, combine it with vegetables and garlic. After eating, you should drink tea, supplement with vitamin C and lactic acid bacteria. In this way, eating dried salted fish is relatively safe.

2. Grilled and fried meat

Regardless of summer or winter, grilled meat is always the choice of many people. Whether it is fatty meat, lean meat, beef, or fish... as long as it is grilled, fried, or smoked meat, it will increase the risk of cancer. Grilling lean meat over a fire at high temperatures will create heterocyclic amines. Fatty meat will produce polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzopyrene...

3. Moldy food

When people see moldy foods with the naked eye, of course they will not eat them. However, when peanuts, corn, and nuts are moldy, the outer surface is difficult to see, or some bad businesses have mixed moldy peanuts to produce oil or butter, but this food is very difficult to detect. Once you accidentally eat moldy foods, you may be infected with aflatoxin, a clear carcinogen. Aflatoxin is 68 times more toxic than arsenic and 10 times more toxic than potassium cyanide.

What foods help prevent cancer?

Bad foods increase the risk of cancer, but good foods can help us fight cancer cells.

Tomato:Lycopene in tomatoes has anti-cancer effects. Lycopene is an antioxidant. Tomatoes, watermelons, and almonds all contain this substance, which can eliminate cancer-causing oxygen free radicals in the body. If the lycopene content in a person's blood is too low, it will significantly increase the risk of pancreatic cancer.

Tomatoes are one of the foods that help prevent cancer.

Sweet potato: Sweet potatoes are rich in starch, carotene and more than 10 trace elements such as potassium and iron. Sweet potatoes can protect the structural integrity of human epithelial cells, inhibit the activity of viruses, prevent the production of carcinogens in the digestive tract, eliminate the toxic effects of mercury, cadmium, arsenic in food or the environment, and prevent the carcinogenic process of toxic metals.
