Goose meat is hair, can cause cancer recurrence and metastasis? Speed up cancer cell growth or 4 foods

After being diagnosed with advanced colon cancer with liver metastases, Uncle Zhang in Zhejiang paid special attention to his diet. He believes that chicken, duck, fish, and meat are all hairs, which will accelerate the development of cancer cells .

As a result, during the treatment period, Uncle Zhang's nutrition could not keep up, his condition deteriorated rapidly, and he died less than 2 months after the diagnosis.

When it comes to hair objects, some people may think of the allusions of Zhu Yuanzhang killing Xu Da.

The Ming Dynasty notebook novel records that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to get rid of the general Xu Da, but he could not find a reason, so he took advantage of Xu Da's sore and gave him "fat" goose meat. Sick and died.

In real life, there are many people who are sick and are very taboo about goose meat, thinking that eating it will aggravate the disease. So is goose meat really hairy? Will eating it cause cancer recurrence and metastasis?

1. Goose meat is "hair", can cancer patients eat it?

There is no clear concept of hair objects. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the "fa" of hair objects means "inducing" and "initiating". After the originally sick person eats the hair object, the evil spirits in the body will be induced, resulting in repeated attacks of the disease.

As for why goose meat is considered to be a hair product, Chinese medicine believes that eating goose meat is likely to lead to strong liver fire , especially patients with fatty liver and acute and chronic hepatitis B should avoid eating it.

In fact, goose meat is rich in nutrients and is an excellent source of protein . It contains higher protein than beef and chicken, and has low fat and cholesterol content. Its chemical structure is similar to that of olive oil, which is very beneficial to heart health.

Studies have found that increasing the proportion of protein in the diet can improve the physical fitness and quality of life of cancer patients, and prolong the survival time.

In addition to goose, chicken, duck, fish, shrimp, eggs and other foods are high-quality protein sources. Moderate consumption will not only not accelerate tumor growth, but also enhance nutrition , improve patient survival rate, and improve patients' quality of life.

If cancer patients are worried that eating nutritious food will lead to the development of the tumor and blindly avoid them, they will not be able to meet their nutritional needs, thereby weakening the effect of anti-tumor treatment, increasing the risk of complications , reducing the survival rate, prolonging the length of hospitalization, and increasing the cost of treatment.

Can the hair be eaten? There is currently no scientific research to prove that so-called hair growth can cause tumor progression and recurrence.

From a nutritional point of view, as long as you eat a balanced diet, you can eat with confidence. Of course, if you are allergic to a certain food, or you are allergic to it, you must learn to avoid it .

2. Cancer patients should avoid these 4 foods

Appropriate taboos for cancer patients can help prevent cancer recurrence or metastasis, especially the following foods, it is better to eat less:

1. High-fat, high-sugar foods

Excessive intake of high-sugar, high-fat foods such as chips, candy, sugar-sweetened beverages, cakes, biscuits, and pizza can easily lead to overweight and obesity, and studies have shown that it also increases the risk of death and recurrence of some tumors.

2. Pickled food

Salted fish, sausages, bacon and other pickled foods need to be added with a large amount of salt during the production process. The reaction between salt and protein will generate nitrite.

After nitrite enters the body, it will generate nitrosamines under the action of gastric acid. Nitrosamines are strong carcinogens and are closely related to the occurrence of cancers such as gastric cancer.

3. Alcohol

Alcohol is a class of carcinogens, on the one hand, it will stimulate the stomach and affect digestion and absorption. On the other hand, it can irritate the mucous membranes and cause inflammation.

In addition, alcohol can weaken the detoxification function of the liver, cause alcoholic hepatitis, fatty liver, liver cirrhosis, etc., and further increase the risk of liver cancer, stomach cancer and other cancers.

4. Barbecue and fry food

During the production of barbecued foods such as barbecued meat and grilled fish, carcinogens such as heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons may be produced. Animal experiments have shown that long-term intake may lead to the occurrence of lung cancer, liver cancer, and gastrointestinal cancer.

Fried foods such as French fries and fried chicken, especially those containing starch and amino acids, will produce carcinogen acrylamide as long as the temperature exceeds 120°C during the production process.

3. Can cancer patients starve to death by fasting? Do not be silly

In the opinion of some cancer patients, fasting can prevent cancer cells from taking in nutrients, which can effectively "starve" cancer cells to death.

In this regard, You Changxuan, deputy chief physician of the Department of Oncology, Southern Hospital of Southern Medical University, expressed his opinion, "Clinically, it was found that patients with liver cancer once only drank water and ate a small amount of vegetables and fruits in order to starve the cancer cells, and they starved to death themselves. .

For fasting cancer patients, due to insufficient nutrient intake, the weight loss is very fast, usually 10 kg a week, and the immune system is also declining, which makes cancer cells more likely to survive . "

Therefore, eating less or fasting will not starve cancer cells at all. On the contrary, ensuring adequate nutrition will have a chance to defeat cancer cells . Because the tumor does not have its own digestive system, the nutrient supply comes from the blood vessels, not the food in the stomach.

Therefore, after suffering from cancer, we should instead focus on increasing nutritional intake and improving the body's immunity, and do the following:

• reasonable meal

Diverse diet, eat more cereals and potatoes, 200 grams to 400 grams per day; appropriate animal food, eat more fish, poultry, eggs, and less red meat; eat beans and soy products appropriately; The intake of vegetables is 300 grams to 500 grams, and the fruits are 200 grams to 300 grams; the oil is controlled at 25 grams to 40 grams per day. It is recommended to use vegetable oil instead of animal oil; eat small meals and avoid overeating.

• Reasonable abstinence

How much or not to eat unhealthy foods, such as alcohol, supplements or health foods, unpasteurized foods or drinks, raw or undercooked shellfish, certain types of raw and cooked fish, unpasteurized Washed fresh fruits and vegetables, raw food, grilled fried food, preserved food, etc.

All in all, it is impossible for cancer cells to starve to death. If we fast after cancer, only ourselves will starve to death. Don’t do stupid things. The real way is to cheer up, adjust your diet, and ensure adequate nutritional intake, so that you can fight cancer.
