This kind of meat is a type 1 carcinogen, you may eat every day

Recently, the editor was shocked by a news, and a kind of meat I often eat can cause cancer!

According to the news from Hangzhou First People's Hospital:

Ms. Ding, 57, came to the hospital for a physical examination and checked bowel cancer.

Her husband, Mr. Huang, had inspected in the case of inauguration, and then found out intestinal cancer!

What causes the couple to suffer from cancer at the same time?

Yang Jing, deputy chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology, Hangzhou First People's Hospital, believes that their husbands and wives have a lot to do with bowel cancer and eating habits.

Ms. Ding couple usually likes to eat meat, ducks, salted fish and other processed meat.

But the World Health Organization has listed the processed meat we often eat as type 1 carcinogen.

According to data burden on global disease projects, about 34,000 people die of cancer every year in the world are because they eat more meat products.

01

Intestinal cancer risk increases by 18%

The International Cancer Research Center found through epidemiological research that eating 50g of processing meat every day will increase the probability of colorectal cancer by 18%!

Therefore, the World Health Organization lists the processed meat we often eat as a type 1 carcinogen, and it is recommended to restrict the consumption of processing meat.

The Standard of the World Health Organization to divide human carcinogens is:

Class 1 -There is a matter of clear evidence that can lead to cancer with cancer

Class 2A -Materials that are likely to cause cancer, but the evidence is limited

Category 2B -Maybe human carcinogens, insufficient evidence

Cate 3 -currently cannot determine the carcinogenicity to human beings

In other words, type 1 carcinogen is the only substance that can cause cancer.

Therefore, your mother lets you eat less ham, saying that you will get cancer if you eat too much.

What is 50g of processing meat?

It is about the weight of 4 pieces of meat.

Seeing many people here will have questions: Is it just that you only need to eat 4 pieces of meat?

of course not! Increasing the chance of cancer will get bowel cancer after eating.

Although processing meat can cause cancer, it is related to the unique physical fitness of the individual for individual individuals.

It is also related to the amount of consumption. If the amount of consumption is not large (occasionally eating, no more than 50 grams each time), the harmful substances that can be eaten can be metabolized by the body, and it will not suffer from cancer because of eating processing meat.

But if you eat a large amount for a long time, it will undoubtedly increase the chance of cancer.

For friends who eat pickles and salted fish for meals, pay attention to controlling the frequency of processing meat.

02

Which meat can't be eaten?

Machining meat, as the name suggests, is a meat product that has been processed by various means.

Such as marinated, air -dried, fermented, smoked various pickles, ducks, salted fish, hot pot balls, ham, sausage, lunch meat, jerky, enema, ham, canned meat, meat sauce, etc.

These treatment methods can increase the fragrance of meat, improve the color, and extend the preservation time, but it is very easy to produce hidden dangers of food safety.

Fan Zhihong, an associate professor of the Department of Nutrition and Food Safety at the School of Food Safety of China University of Agricultural University, said that processed meat categories such as pickling, smoke, baking, etc. may produce carcinogens such as benzene, heterocycles, nitrosamines.

And the processing meat purchased outside is added with preservatives such as nitrite.

Nitrite is a kind of strong carcinogen, which will be poisoned at 0.3-0.5 grams, and 3 grams can even cause death.

Excessive nitrite enters the body to cause the blood red protein in the blood to lose the function of transportation of oxygen, which causes the body tissue to be hypoxic and therefore poisoning.

Therefore, for the above -mentioned processing meat, we must be vigilant and occasionally eat it, but control the amount of consumption.

03

Eat such as this way to prevent intestinal cancer

So how to eat meat to be healthy?

1. Eat fresh meat

It is best to buy fresh meat with sanitary quarantine in regular shopping malls, and average of 50-75 grams per person per day.

If you do n’t buy fresh meat, it is best to control the amount of meat and other processed meat such as cured meat, ducks, salted fish, sausages, balls, etc., and the average consumption per person does not exceed 50 grams per day.

2. Red and white meat alternately eat

Fang Yu, director of the Nutrition Department of Peking University Oncology Hospital, suggested that it is best to alternate red and white meat.

Red meat refers to the characteristics of red meat before cooking, with the characteristics of more saturated fat. Cow, sheep, pork, etc. are red meat. It is best not to exceed 100 grams of red meat at a time.

White meat refers to white meat before cooking, with the characteristics of low fat content. Chicken, duck, fish, shrimp, etc. are white meat. It is best not to exceed 150 grams of white meat at a time.

The nutritional characteristics of red and white meat are different. It is mixed with eating every day, or changing to eat the next day. It can be added in nutrition, which is more conducive to health.

3. Eat more fruits and vegetables

Multiple studies have found that eating more fiber -rich foods can reduce the risk of intestinal cancer.

Because fruits, vegetables, etc. are rich in fibrous fibers, can dilute or absorb carcinogenic substances, regulate the operation time of colon, change bile acid metabolism, reduce colon pH, or increase the production of short -chain fatty acids, thereby reducing the risk of colon cancer.

Therefore, it is recommended to eat fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, etc. every day, rich in crude fiber.

According to the suggestion of the Chinese dietary guide in 2022, each person should eat 300-500 grams of vegetables and 200-350 grams of fruits per day.

300 grams of vegetables are equivalent to 1.5 cucumbers, 500 grams of about 3 dolls;

200 grams of fruits are about 1 apple, and 350 grams is equivalent to two medium -sized peaches.

It is enough to ensure 200-350 grams a day. You can eat meals in two meals and eat it many times.The body is an overall and precise machine. To prevent bowel cancer, in addition to paying attention to diet, it is more effective if you can exercise, quit smoking and drinking.
