Among them, there are several kinds of foods that many people like to eat, in fact, they are all first-class carcinogens.

3. Chinese Salted Fish
During the pickling process of Chinese-style salted fish, not only the internal organs are not removed, but also a lot of salt is used for pickling. In this process, nitroso compounds may be produced, which increases the risk of cancer such as liver cancer and esophageal cancer.
