Food fried in oil that is reused many times can be harmful to health and cause cancer over time. |
Doctor Trang recommends that health status depends entirely ondiet. If you eat less salt and sugar, your health will be better. Foods rich in omega-3, lots of green vegetables and fruits also help you reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by 30%. Diets with foods rich in fiber and unsaturated fats help you prevent diabetes.
With cancer, according to Dr. Trang, an unhealthy diet increases the risk of cancer. Research documents from the American Cancer Institute show that there are many effects of food on health. Groups of substances in food can cause cancer, specifically as follows:
The first,Aflatoxin is a toxic group often found in moldy grains, especially in moldy peanuts. Eating this toxin increases the risk of liver cancer.
Monday,Acrylamide is often found in burnt starchy foods such as grilled corn, grilled sweet potatoes, overcooked bread, and can sometimes be found in self-roasted coffee.
TuesdayBenzene group is often found in bottled water, flavored drinks, and fruit-flavored drinks.
Wednesday, Benzopyrene group is often found in fatty meat grilled at temperatures above 250 degrees Celsius. In addition, the habit of using frying oil over and over again also produces Benzopyrene. Therefore, people should limit buying fried foods because the store will use cooking oil for frying for a long time.
Thursday,Nitrosamine-containing groups are often found in pickled foods such as pickles, pickled eggplants, and in processed meats such as sausages, ham, canned meat, etc.
In the above groups, many foods are quite familiar to Vietnamese people. For example, pickled eggplant can be eaten depending on the situation. Doctor Trang recommends that young people can eat pickled eggplant 3-4 times/week. People over 50 years old should eat 1-2 times/week.
In addition to the above groups of carcinogens, Dr. Trang recommends that housewives should also be careful when choosing additives to enhance the color and durability of food. Additives that are not good for health include food coloring such as lemon yellow (number 65), orange yellow (number 6), red (number 3 and number 40). Currently, the European Food Safety Authority and the US FDA both recommend using additives in the right dosage and limiting the consumption of processed foods to reduce the risk.
To limit the negative effects of food on the genetic system, stimulating the development of diseases, Dr. Trang recommends that people should increase physical exercise, sports, and get enough sleep./.
