Digestive seeds are toxic cancer drugs if eaten incorrectly

Pepper is a very familiar spice and is also very good for health, but it also has potential dangers for the body if you consume too much of this spice.

According to the Young World newspaper, in addition to piperine, which helps create a distinctive flavor, black pepper also contains iron, potassium, calcium, manganese, zinc, chromium, vitamins A, C and many other nutrients. The presence of piperine in black pepper helps increase the availability of nutrients such as vitamins A and C, selenium, beta-carotene, etc., bringing many health benefits. However, black pepper is only safe when used in moderation. And excessive consumption of black pepper can lead to serious health side effects such as cancer and even death.

Cancer and even death are possible consequences of eating 'overdose' pepper

Effects on children and pregnant women

A large amount of pepper taken orally can end up in the lungs. This can be fatal, especially in children, according to Tien Phong newspaper.

According to experts, pepper is hot, so pregnant women should limit the use of this spice because it can consume water molecules in the intestines, causing constipation for pregnant women during pregnancy. However, if used properly and in the right dosage, pepper will be a very good spice for pregnant women.

Gastrointestinal side effects

When consumed in normal amounts, pepper is good for digestion but if consumed in large amounts it can lead to stomach ache or other gastrointestinal effects. Patients with digestive disorders should limit their consumption of pepper.

Cancer risk

When black pepper is added to food before cooking, it can easily turn into a toxic substance that can cause cancer. Therefore, to ensure health safety, the best way is to sprinkle black pepper after the food has been cooked, according to the Health & Life newspaper.

High risk of cancer when using pepper incorrectly

In addition, when using pepper, you should pay attention to grinding it as you eat it because pepper can easily lose its aroma if left for a long time. So put the pepper in a glass jar, close the lid tightly, then cover the lid of the pepper jar with a piece of napkin; do not fry or stir-fry pepper in oil at high temperatures or cook for too long to ensure that the pepper retains its aroma and is safe for your health.
