Eating a barbecue can cause cancer, eat pickles can cause cancer, eat salted fish can also cause cancer ... ... you may have remembered these common sense. But what is not necessarily known is that eating uncooked pork, beef, and mutton may also be carcinogenic, drinking too hot tea may cause cancer, and may even cause cancer both day and night!
Xiao Bian asked Dr. Zhou Xiang of the Department of Oncology today to introduce the “black list†of carcinogens that you may not know.
Whether a thing is carcinogenic or not depends on experimental analysis, epidemiology, and other relevant evidence. At present, the most authoritative International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) will classify Type 1, Type 2A, Type 2B (don't laugh), Type 3, and Type 4 carcinogens from strong to weak.
Category 1: Carcinogenicity is clear and there is strong evidence.
Category 2A: There is relatively little evidence of carcinogenicity in humans, but there is strong evidence that there are similar carcinogenic mechanisms in humans.
Category 2B: The possibility of carcinogenesis is relatively low, and there is still relatively little evidence of carcinogenic mechanisms.
Tea, coffee, and cholesterol, which are often mentioned, fall into three categories. They are "clearly non-carcinogenic to the human body." They don't need to worry about anything, let alone four categories. As for the "carcinogenic milk" argument, it is even more rumored.
What we need to keep in mind is the type 1 and 2A carcinogens.
Category 1 : Clearly carcinogenic
Alcohol: oral cancer, pharynx cancer, laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, postmenopausal breast cancer
The carcinogenic effect of alcohol in the human body can be said to be full bloom.
One study showed that compared with people who do not drink, people who drink a lot of alcohol (more than 3 drinks a day) are more likely to get digestive/respiratory cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and melanoma.
There are also studies that show that in addition to the above-mentioned cancer, drinking, there are nasopharyngeal cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer. Therefore, the carcinogenicity of alcohol, the devil figure in the body of the system's impact everywhere.
Processed meat: colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer
Processed meat, that is, smoked, preserved, dried and other methods of processing meat, including dried meat, ham, canned meat, bacon and other fish.
There is sufficient evidence that eating processed meat products can cause colon cancer; eating 50 grams of processed meat products a day will increase the risk of colon cancer by 18%.
Chinese style salted fish: nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Through salting and sun exposure, salted fish that have been dehydrated after salting at high concentrations will produce a carcinogen “nitroso compound†during processing, which has been proven to be carcinogenic in in vitro experiments.
Aflatoxin: liver cancer, kidney cancer
The most common is peanuts and corn that have been contaminated with Aspergillus flavus. In addition, some processed foods that use peanut raw materials (such as peanut butter) may also be carcinogenic because they are moldy. Therefore, be sure to choose a reliable manufacturer's product.
Cigarette tobacco may also cause lung cancer. Eating too much salt may cause gastric cancer. Eating too much canopy may cause oral cancer. These are all types of carcinogenic diets.
The basic aim of "anti-cancer" is to avoid it as much as possible. In particular, alcohol, cigarettes and betel nut harm to the body can be more than just carcinogenicity.
Category 2A: High likelihood of carcinogenesis
Red meat: colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer
The meat of most “four-legged†animals that we usually eat, such as cows, sheep, and pork, although they become dark after being cooked, they are red in their raw state.
Isn't it a bit hard to believe? When the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) proposed it, it also caused an uproar, but it was really confirmed.
Excessive diet: oral cancer, pharynx cancer, esophageal cancer
Frequently eating foods over 65 °C, such as eating hot pots, drinking hot tea, eating freshly baked hot buns, etc. These bad habits of “eat it hot†are easy to induce esophageal cancer.
Esophageal mucosa is repeatedly injured at high temperatures, and long-term repeated stimulation of esophageal mucosa can cause cancer.
Nitrate and nitrite (under specific conditions in the body): esophageal cancer, liver cancer
Pickles and pickled products may contain nitrite. Nitrite itself is not cancerous, but excessive nitrite may produce "carcinogenic" nitrosamines in the body, which may induce liver cancer and esophageal cancer.
Frying, baking, and grilling foods may also be related to carcinogenesis.
And most surprisingly, overnight nights have also been included in the 2A level.
After reading this, you may say that whoever has eaten our family has eaten oysters for decades, but it has not been cancerous!
Well, Xiao Bian thinks that you are right.
"Carcinogenicity" Does Not Mean Cancer
It's not that these things will get cancer when you eat a little bit, and once you eat once, you don't need anxiety and panic.
After all, leaving the dose to talk about toxicity is all about rogues.
In fact, the occurrence of cancer is usually the result of a long-term accumulation of various carcinogenic factors. It is not simply that “you will get cancer if you eat it.â€
Moreover, the occurrence of cancer is often the result of long-term accumulation of a variety of carcinogenic factors. One person will not be cancerous, but also related to his genetic characteristics. The so-called "anti-cancer" means reducing the risk of cancer and reducing the possibility of cancer.
By the same token, there is no single food. If you eat more, it will definitely not be cancerous.
Healthy diet and lifestyle are the best ways to prevent cancer!
Coarse grain usually refers to rice, wheat, corn, soybean and potato five crops other than the grain and bean crops. The main are: sorghum, millet, buckwheat (sweet buckwheat, buckwheat), oats (naked oats), barley, millet, barley millet, barley millet, grain amaranth and beans (kidney beans), mung beans, adzuki beans (adzuki beans, adzuki beans), broad beans, peas, cowpea, lentils (soldier beans), black beans and so on. It is characterized by short growing period, small planting area, special planting area, low yield, and generally contain rich nutrients. The ancient Chinese medicine book "Huangdi Neijing" records that "five grains are for raising, five fruits are for helping, five livestock are for benefiting, and five vegetables are for filling". Some trace elements, such as iron, magnesium, zinc and selenium, are more abundant in coarse grains than in refined grains. The value of these trace elements to human health is considerable. Coarse grains are also richer in potassium, calcium, vitamin E, folic acid and bioflavonoids than refined grains.
Whole Grains are rich in nutrients. Oats, for example, are rich in protein; Millet is rich in tryptophan and carotene. Beans are high in quality protein; Sorghum is rich in fatty acids and iron; Tubers contain carotene and vitamin C. In addition, coarse grain still has the effect of reducing weight. Such as corn also contains a lot of magnesium, magnesium can strengthen intestinal wall peristalsis, promote the excretion of body waste, is very beneficial to weight loss.
