cirrhosis is a condition in which the liver is unable to perform its normal functions.
Many people have the habit of cutting off the damaged part of the fruit and continuing to eat it to avoid waste. However, this habit can seriously harm the liver, risk causing degeneration or damage to liver cells and can lead to liver cancer.
The reason is that when the fruit is damaged, mold often develops during oxidation, creating conditions for bacteria, viruses and especially aflatoxin to form. Aflatoxin is very durable and cannot be destroyed at temperatures as low as 6-7 degrees Celsius or as high as a few dozen degrees Celsius.
Aflatoxin is a Toxin classified by the World Health Organization as a highly effective carcinogen, with a toxicity 68 times higher than that of the kidney. If you eat foods that are moldy for a long time, the risk of liver damage and liver cancer is very high.
Not only that, spoiled food also contains many bacteria and viruses, which can affect overall health and even threaten life. Therefore, do not hesitate to keep foods that are moldy or damaged, it is best to throw them away immediately to protect your health.
