Salted and sour vegetables
Salted ca, pickled cucumber are familiar dishes in the rice tray of the Vietnamese family. However, these fermented foods can cause cancer if you do not know how to make and eat them properly.
The habit of eating this dish while it is still enthusiastic, spicy, and not properly fermented is the main cause of cancer. Because, in pickled cucumbers, the nitrate content converted into nitrites will combine with the amino acids in commonly eaten foods such as meat, shrimp and fish, especially shrimp paste and convert to nitrosamin - a substance that can cause stomach cancer.
During the processing, if not stored carefully and fermented for too long, it will be easy for bacteria to invade. In addition, the high salt content in this dish is also not good for health.
Red meats
Recent research published in 2017 shows that consuming red meat and processed meat can increase the risk of colorectal cancer. There is also evidence of a link between eating red meat and pancreatic and prostate cancer. Experts recommend that to reduce the risk of pancreatic acidosis, you should not eat more than 65 - 100g of red meat per week.
Processed meat
Sausage, ribs, bacon are delicious dishes loved by many people, especially young children. However, these foods often contain a lot of salt and chemicals that are excessive, which can be harmful to health.
Chemicals and preservatives used include sodium nitrate, which makes meats look fresh and attractive, but they are a dangerous carcinogen.
Eating French fries causes cancer
Any fried food breaks in acrylamide, a dangerous carcinoline. Of which, potatoes are the food that produces this substance the most.
Asparagine and the sugar in potatoes work together when fried at high temperatures, giving rise to Acrylamide. Therefore, stir-frying will increase the risk of causing cancer.
In particular, potatoes stored in the refrigerator will be further divided into sugars and produce more carcinogens after frying. On the other hand, eating French fries also increases the risk of obesity and cardiovascular diseases.
Salted fish
Some types of dried salted fish often contain high salt levels, while some also contain fragrance and are rich in nitrite. When entering the body, nitrite can react with the amino protein nitrosamine. Nitrosamine is an extremely powerful carcinogen and one of the four main pollutants in food, which can increase the risk of tumor formation in the digestive system.
