Cancer enters through the mouth? Reminder: stay away from these foods every day, cancer will go around you!

According to the current clinical data, cancer is a chronic disease induced by the combined action of multiple factors. Acquired exposure to carcinogens, unhealthy diet and living habits, the environment, and chronic diseases , etc.

　　Yes, food does provide various nutrients to the human body, but some foods have also been included in the list of carcinogens, especially the following types of food, it is necessary to stay away now:

1. Betel nut

This food is the third most addictive consumer product　　after cigarettes and alcohol , and it is also included in the ranks of a class of carcinogens, which are closely related to the incidence of oral cancer.

　　The reason for this is that areca nut contains a lot of crude fiber and alkaloids, which can cause mechanical damage to the oral tissue , while arecoline also destroys healthy oral cells. In the case of repeated damage to cells, it increases the chance of future cancer;

　　2. Chinese salted fish

　　Salted fish, as the name suggests, is dried fish after being marinated with salt. It tastes salty and has a strong and special smell. However, in 2017, Chinese-style salted fish was listed as a Category 1 carcinogen .

　　The reason for this is that in the process of pickling, nitrite can decompose with the protein in pickled products , and produce amines to react to form nitrosamines , which are highly carcinogenic and harmful substances . Whether this carcinogen is ingested in large amounts at one time or ingested in small amounts for a long time, it will increase the risk of cancer itself, and it is closely related to esophageal cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, etc.;

3. Processed meat

　　The so-called processed meat refers to the meat with improved taste and extended shelf life after salt marinating, smoked barbecue, frying and other processing methods, such as ham, bacon, etc., are typical processed meat.

　　In 2015, WHO classified processed meat as a class 1 carcinogen, based on sufficient evidence to show a strong link between processed meat and colorectal cancer. Eating 50 grams of processed meat a day increases the risk of colorectal cancer by about 18%;

　　4. Food above 65°C

　　Many Chinese residents have the habit of eating while it's hot, but it is precisely because of this habit that it can become a breakthrough for cancer. Because the mucous membrane of the human digestive tract is actually very fragile, when the temperature of the food is too high, it may cause mild burns to the mucous membrane at the moment of contact with the mucous membrane.

　　Although the mucous membrane can repair itself, in the case of repeated consumption of hot food and repeated damage , it may cause chronic digestive tract diseases, such as inflammation, ulcers and erosions . In the later stage, it may even develop into intestinal metaplasia, atypical hyperplasia , and then increase the possibility of canceration.

　　These types of foods are all on the list of carcinogens. Of course, this does not mean that as long as everyone is exposed to this kind of food, it will cause cancer. The relationship between any carcinogen and cancer is based on long-term and large-scale exposure.

　　However, after all, there are risks in food, and for future health reasons, it is necessary to reduce or quit these foods from now on.
