Oral cancer's death singer calls for staying away from betel nut. Why is the little betel nut repeatedly banned?

Science Fiction Network September 27 (Xu Mingyang) Recently, Fu Song, a 36 -year -old singer, died of unfortunate oral cancer. During his lifetime, he showed his half -face on social media due to oral cancer ulceration, and called for "cherish life and stay away from betel nut".

Betel nut is a single -leaf plant outline, first -born eye, palm, and betel nut. Its origin is Malaysia and is widely cultivated in tropical regions in Asia. It is mainly distributed in China, Hainan and Taiwan.

Betel nut is one of the four major southern medicines in my country. Traditional medicine believes that betel nuts have the effect of "pest killing, breaking, lowering qi and stagnation, and moving water and humidity." Emperor Hanwu had designated South Vietnam to use betel nut as a tribute. Li Bai, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, also wrote a poem "When is the golden disk and a betel nut!" But while betel nuts are loved by some people as medicinal and snacks, the harm it brings is also very obvious.

The betel nuts in betel nut make people addicted to it. Chewing betel nuts for a long time will bring a series of damage such as turning black, wear, looseness, and gum retreat. Moreover, long -term chewing will increase the load of the temporal mandibular joints, causing symptoms such as joint bullets, pain, etc., which can also cause joint dial perforation in severe cases. At the same time, betel nut can also cause damage to the oral mucosa, and lightly causes mucosal disease, and the severe evolution will evolve into oral cancer.

As early as 2003, the World Health Organization listed betel nut as a first -class carcinogen. In 2017, the former State Food and Drug Administration also listed betel nut as a first -class carcinogen. In 2020, the latest version of "Catalog of Food Production License" canceled the category of "eating betel nut". In the past two years, Chinese Zhejiang, Chengdu and other places have been removed from the shelves. In some countries and regions, such as Turkey, Singapore, Australia, etc., betel nuts are identified as drugs and prohibited sales.
