According to clinical examination results, most patients with liver cancer have entered the mid- and late stages, missing the best time for treatment. Usually, liver cancer patients can only live for a maximum of 6 months after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Whenever liver cancer is mentioned, many people will think the cause is alcohol. However, this is just one of many causes of this terrible disease.
Recently, Li Haoran, 36 years old, from China, suddenly suffered from severe abdominal pain and darkened skin, so she went to the hospital for a check-up. Through testing procedures, the results showed that Ly Hao had cirrhosis and terminal liver cancer, and his health was in critical condition. Because the condition became worse, the doctors informed the worst case scenario for Ly Hao's family to prepare mentally.
When his parents arrived at the hospital, they could not believe that their son had liver cancer. According to them, Li Haoran is a person with a healthy lifestyle, almost never drinking alcohol or smoking before the shift, so why does he still have liver disease?
The doctor asked more about Li Hao's eating habits, saying that he especially likes to eat stir-fried and fried dishes before. However, due to poor family conditions, Ly Hao often buys cheap cooking oil packed in large boxes without labels at the market. After processing fried dishes, Li Hao often takes excess oil to cook other dishes to save costs.
After listening to this patient's eating habit, the doctor shook his head and concluded that although he did not drink alcohol or smoke, Ly Hao's habit of using this cooking oil also destroyed his liver and body as much. For the next 3 months, despite active treatment, the 36-year-old man still breathed his last.
Through this case, the doctor also warns of 2 types of foods that are extremely harmful to the liver:
1. Expired cooking oil
In life, many people like to buy large, economical and affordable oil bins. However, cooking oil is prone to expiration, causing oxidation, contamination with a large amount of bacteria, microorganisms and even aflatoxin. The specificity of aflatoxin is 68 times greater than than asen. Long-term consumption can damage liver tissue and cause liver cancer.
2. Marked, spoiled food
Many people have the habit of cutting off mold on fruits and vegetables and continuing to use them, but this is a habit that is extremely harmful to health. When the food has mold, it will produce aflatoxin, which is extremely toxic to human health. This poison can cause adverse effects on humans through a long period of accumulation from food even with extremely low content.
Acute toxicity syndrome can be seen as vomiting, abdominal pain, swelling of the lungs, convulsions, coma and death due to cerebral edema, heart disease, liver, fatty kidneys... the spleen will produce many bacteria, including aflatoxin. Long-term consumption directly damages liver cells and causes liver cancer.
In addition, aflatoxin is also "hiding" in these places
- Bitter seeds: Once the seeds are bitter and have an unpleasant smell, they are susceptible to aflatoxin. For example, walnuts, almonds, peanuts, ... so when these nuts show signs of spoiling, it is best to throw them away.
- Black chili: Cheops are used to cut vegetables every day, are prone to leakage and the humid environment of the kitchen can easily produce aflatoxin. Therefore, after a year of use, it is best to replace it promptly.
