What are the junkiest foods?

The world's top ten junk foods announced by the World Health Organization (WHO)

1. Fried foods

1. The main culprit of cardiovascular disease (fried foods) Starch)

2. Contains carcinogens

3. Destroys vitamins and denatures proteins

How much impact does baked and fried food have on human health?

According to medical research, atherosclerosis begins at the age of 7, and the current culprits are fried foods such as McDonald’s and KFC.

It can also cause obesity and cancer. Function

2. Pickled foods

1. Cause high blood pressure, overburden the kidneys, and lead to nasopharyngeal cancer

2. Affect the mucosal system (on the Harmful to the gastrointestinal tract)

3. Easy to get ulcers and inflammation

Such as pickled mustard

People who often eat greasy food, have just recovered from a serious illness, or have a minor illness and have a poor appetite, Especially suitable for consumption. Diabetic patients and pregnant women should eat as little mustard as possible, and those with chronic diarrhea should not eat it.

3. Processed meat foods (dried meat, meat floss, sausages, etc.)

1. Contains one of the three major carcinogens: nitrite (preservation and color development)

2. Contains a large amount of preservatives (increasing the burden on the liver)

Preservatives that are seen every day

In daily life, from soy sauce and jam in condiments , preservatives are indispensable in all kinds of pastries, beverages, and various processed and packaged foods. Preservatives prevent food from spoiling and sometimes preventing problems such as food poisoning. These are undoubtedly beneficial to consumer health and safety.

Preservatives are all artificially synthesized. Improper use will produce certain side effects. Long-term excessive intake will definitely cause damage to your health. If you consume too much preservatives, it can cause symptoms such as drooling, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and rapid heartbeat; at worst, it can cause serious harm to the stomach, liver, and kidneys, and can even increase the incidence of cancer.

Are pigments also toxic?

Pigments are not illegal additives, and adding pigments to food is not a patent of modern people. In ancient my country, people knew that red yeast pigments were used to produce red wine. However, the bad impact of the "Sudan Red Incident" that broke out not long ago has made people even more suspicious of the pigment, which originally had a bad reputation. Of course, Sudan Red is actually an industrial dye, not an edible coloring.

As long as food dyes are used within the scope and standards permitted by the state, they will not cause harm to health.

However, there are always some unscrupulous traders who add excessive amounts of pigment in pursuit of profits. When choosing food, consumers should avoid buying overly bright food, and remember not to be fooled by the bright appearance.

4. Biscuit foods (excluding low-temperature baking and whole-wheat crackers)

1. Excessive food flavors and pigments (causing burden on liver function)

2. Severe destruction of vitamins

3. Excessive calories and low nutritional content

Trans fatty acids are rarely found in natural foods. Foods that people usually eat contain trans fatty acids. Food, basically from food containing margarine. Foods containing hydrogenated vegetable oil may contain trans fatty acids. The most common ones are baked goods (biscuits, bread, etc.), salad dressings, as well as fast food such as French fries, fried chicken nuggets, onion rings, and Western pastries. Chocolate pie, coffee mate, hot chocolate and more. However, the names of trans fatty acids vary. They are generally labeled on product packaging as "hydrogenated vegetable oil", "vegetable shortening", "margarine", "margarine", "vegetable cream", "margarine", "Shortening" or "dairy creamer" may contain trans fatty acids.

5. Soda and cola foods

1. Contain phosphoric acid and carbonic acid, which will take away a lot of calcium from the body

2. The sugar content is too high. Drink I feel full afterwards, which affects my meal

For example, Coke

Shake hands... I am also a person who drinks Pepsi as water. I don’t drink water, I just drink it, and it’s still ice. Haha...

In the words of a nutrition guru, Coke is used to clean toilets. There are many disadvantages to drinking Coke, some of which are quite serious.

However, I was willingly poisoned by Coke, which is the so-called "pain and happiness"

Coke is an out-and-out "drug": like all sodas, it is a 100% unnatural monster , except for water, none of the ingredients in it is beneficial to the body. On the contrary, it is obviously harmful------

A can of Coke contains seven teaspoons of sugar, which can cause obesity, tooth decay, body acidification, and brain damage. Departmental operations are disrupted, emotions are unstable... the disadvantages are endless. Coca-Cola contains a variety of dyes and seasonings, which hinder the function of various parts of the body. Carbonated drinks, such as soda and cola, contain almost no vitamins or minerals. The main ingredients are sugar and pigments. , spices and carbonated water, etc., except for containing some calories, it can be said that they have no nutritional content.

A survey by Harvard University in the United States found that teenagers, especially girls, who often drink large amounts of carbonated drinks are three times more likely to suffer fractures than other teenagers. Researchers believe that the reason may be that the phosphoric acid contained in carbonated drinks affects bone deposition, which has a side effect on bone growth. Carbonated drinks have little benefit to the human body except for their good thirst quenching effect in hot weather. Drinking more of them is even more harmful

The main ingredients of cola are syrup and carbon dioxide gas. It has no benefit to the body. Nutrition.

In addition to causing obesity, regular drinking of cola may also lead to dental caries, osteoporosis, heart disease, etc. It is also a potential risk factor for modern diseases such as diabetes.

Not to mention the pigments, spices, caramel and other additives contained in cola that are harmful to the human body, caffeine alone is a harmful to health substance.

Coke, grapefruit, etc. are all favorite drinks of Hong Kong people. However, a survey by the School of Dentistry of the University of Hong Kong shows that drinking three cans a day over many years may cause tooth decay and tooth acidity.

The School of Dentistry of the University of Hong Kong randomly checked 20 types of acidic and sugary beverages in paper bags, cans and bottles on the market and found that 18 types have high acidity and can dissolve the enamel that protects teeth. Among them, cola and grape are more acidic. Well above the indicator. A dental professor pointed out that if you drink 1 liter of acidic and sugary drinks a day for 1 to 2 years, the enamel on the tooth surface will be eroded away by acid.

Philippine Dental Hospital receives nearly 20 complex cases of teeth being eroded by acidic drinks every year. Some patients drink several cans or bottles of Coke every day, causing almost all of the enamel that protects the teeth to be eroded by acid. Lose.

The pH value ranges from 1 to 14 degrees, with 7 degrees being neutral. If the acidity of the drink is lower than 5.5pH, the enamel can be dissolved.

Caffeine is a drug that has an stimulating effect on the central nervous system, heart, and blood vessels, and it impairs memory.

In addition, for children, caffeine is irritating, can stimulate gastric motility and gastric acid secretion, and cause intestinal spasm. Children who often drink coffee are prone to unexplained abdominal pain and long-term excessive intake of coffee. This will lead to chronic gastritis. Caffeine can dilate the capillaries on the gastrointestinal wall, stimulate kidney function, increase renal water flow, cause polyuria in children, increase calcium excretion, and affect children's bone development. At the same time, caffeine can also destroy vitamin B1 in children and cause vitamin B1 deficiency.

A 355 ml can of cola contains 65 mg of caffeine, a 350 ml can of oolong tea contains 80-120 mg of caffeine, and a cup of instant coffee contains 85-200 mg of caffeine. Normal people should not consume more than 200 mg of caffeine per day, otherwise chronic poisoning may occur. Children should stay away from coffee and drink as little caffeinated beverages as possible.

And some chemicals in cola, such as sodium, can increase blood pressure. Experts remind that high blood pressure will increase people's risk of heart disease, stroke and kidney disease and must not be ignored.

Cola is really harmful to the human body

1. Coca-Cola contains caffeine and is addictive if you drink it for a long time.

2. Coke contains carbonic acid, drinking too much is not good for your health. Because the human body is in the best condition when it is weakly alkaline.

3. There is no protein, etc. and lack of nutrition.

4. Drinking it for a long time will make you fat because it contains sugar.

5. In addition, when carbonated drinks represented by Coca-Cola first came out, because of their good taste, the gas they produced could bring out the heat in the stomach, giving people a feeling of comfort and excitement. After getting used to drinking, people will develop a certain dependence on carbonated drinks. In fact, carbonated drinks have no nutritional value.

According to reports, various types of carbonated drinks contain high sugar content, and long-term consumption can easily lead to obesity. Coke contains sodium chloride, which is similar to caffeine and also contains preservatives. These ingredients are not good for the body and have no nutritional value. Drinking these drinks for a long time will definitely cause problems.

Experts recommend drinking as little carbonated drinks as possible, especially for children, women and the elderly. "In fact, the best drink in China is our national drink - tea, especially green tea. Even if you drink boiled water, it is better than drinking carbonated drinks."

It is harmful for children to drink cola. Coke contains caffeine, and a 340-gram bottle of cola-type drink contains 50 to 80 mg of caffeine. Some people have done experiments and found that adults taking more than 1 gram of caffeine at a time can cause excitement in the central nervous system, accelerated breathing, tachycardia, insomnia, vertigo, and tinnitus. Even if less than 1 gram is taken at a time, poisoning symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, palpitations, and precordial pain may occur due to stimulation of the gastric mucosa. Children are more sensitive to caffeine than adults, so do not give them cola-type drinks.

Girls who drink Coca-Cola should beware of osteoporosis. Studies have shown that soda will accelerate bone loss, especially girls who like to drink cola. The chance of fracture is five times higher than that of those who do not drink soda!

Experts pointed out that the phosphoric acid in cola may be the cause of easy fractures. Phosphoric acid is harmful to bone quality because phosphoric acid has an adverse effect on calcium metabolism and bone quality. On the other hand, young girls who drink cola may have insufficient milk intake, which makes their bodies lack calcium and are prone to fractures.

Newlyweds should also be careful about drinking cola. Because most cola-type drinks contain a high content of caffeine, caffeine can easily enter the fetus through the absorption of the placenta, which can endanger the fetus's brain, heart and other organs. It can also cause malformations or congenital diseases in the fetus. Therefore, experts suggest that in addition to abstaining from smoking and alcohol, newlyweds and couples who want to have children should not drink cola-type drinks. Even after the baby is born, nursing mothers should not drink cola-type drinks. Because caffeine can also enter the baby's body indirectly with milk and harm the baby's health.

Elderly people should not drink cola. Coke has a diuretic effect and can reduce calcium absorption by half. Frequent consumption of caffeinated beverages by the elderly can aggravate the lack of calcium in the body, cause osteoporosis, and easily lead to fractures.

In addition, drinking too many caffeinated beverages will increase blood lipids and easily aggravate arteriosclerosis. Patients with hyperlipidemia and hypertension drink more, which will accelerate the deterioration of the condition. For smokers, caffeine, under the action of nicotine's mutagenic substances, can easily cause mutations in certain tissues of the body and even lead to the production of cancer cells. In order to avoid the above hazards, the habit of smoking and drinking Coke should be changed

Recently, reporters learned that world-renowned soft drink manufacturers Coca-Cola, Pepsi and other companies have reached an agreement on January 25 this year to stop smoking in Europe Beverages are advertised in the market to children under 12 years old.

6. Convenience food (mainly refers to instant noodles and puffed food)

1. Too much salt, containing preservatives and flavors (damaging the liver)

2 , only calories, no nutrition

For example, instant noodles

Because of its "convenience", instant noodles can be said to be a must-have food for most students, because noodles are convenient and time-saving. , economical characteristics, has become an ideal fast food for consumers.

I was too lazy to buy instant noodles for breakfast in the morning, but I was hungry before going to bed at night. But instant noodles are dangerous and it’s best to eat them sparingly. Let's take a look at its "structure". At present, there are more than 300 kinds of food additives, which serve various functions such as coloring, bleaching, regulating appetite, preventing oxidation, extending shelf life, etc. These additives can be used according to regulations. It is not a big problem for us to eat a few meals occasionally, but it is difficult to ensure good health.

Here is a brief list of several additives in instant noodles:

A pack of instant noodles contains 6 grams of salt, and our daily salt intake is about 8 grams, so instant noodles contain salt. The amount is obviously too high. Eating too much salt can easily lead to high blood pressure and damage the kidneys.

Phosphate can improve the taste of instant noodles. However, if the human body absorbs too much phosphorus, the calcium in the body cannot be fully utilized, which can easily cause fractures, tooth loss, and bone deformation.

Grease and instant noodles are all fried. After frying, the moisture in the noodles can be reduced and the shelf life can be extended. However, these oils become "oxidized lipids" after oxidation. They accumulate in blood vessels or other organs, accelerate human aging, and cause arteriosclerosis, which can easily lead to cerebral hemorrhage, heart disease, kidney disease, etc.

Antioxidants. From the moment instant noodles are made to the hands of consumers, it can take as short as one or two months or as long as one or two years. The antioxidants and other chemicals added to them have slowly deteriorated. It is totally harmful to people. Eating instant noodles for a long time will cause harm. (1) Incomplete nutrition. The main ingredients of instant noodles are flour and oil. In addition, there are some MSG, salt, oil, chili powder, etc. in the seasoning package. Some so-called "delicious and visible" instant noodles are added with small packets of dried vegetable particles or a very small amount of fine minced meat. It does not fully contain the seven necessary nutrients for the human body, including protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, water and fiber. After instant noodles are fried, the originally rich vitamin B is completely destroyed. Instant noodles can basically only provide the calories needed for human activities. Since instant noodles only have staple foods and no dishes, if you want to be full, you often need to increase the amount of food you eat. The result is excess carbohydrate and fat intake. Therefore, frequent consumption of instant noodles will inevitably lead to long-term excessive intake of fat and calories, leading to obesity and promoting the occurrence of obesity-related diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension. At the same time, due to the long-term lack of other nutrients, it will cause malnutrition in the human body, which will lead to a series of other diseases such as dizziness, fatigue, weight loss, heart palpitations, lack of energy, etc. In severe cases, weight loss and muscle atrophy may occur. The consequences of nutritional deficiencies are very serious. According to a survey by relevant nutritionists, 60% of people who eat instant noodles for a long time are malnourished, 54% suffer from iron deficiency anemia, 23% suffer from riboflavin deficiency, 16% are zinc deficient, and 2% suffer from iron deficiency anemia. People suffer from various eye diseases due to lack of vitamin A. (2) Lipid peroxide is harmful to health. Antioxidants are generally added to the oil in instant noodles, but they can only slow down the oxidation rate and delay the rancidity time, and cannot completely and effectively prevent rancidity. When oily food goes rancid, it will destroy nutrients, produce peroxide lipids, and smell bad. After long-term excess lipid peroxide enters the human body, it will have a certain destructive effect on the body's important enzyme systems and promote premature aging. Therefore, instant noodles are not suitable for long-term consumption as the main meal.

It is best to pour out the noodle soup after rinsing instant noodles, and then add water or soup to reduce salt and other harmful substances. It’s best not to put all the condiments in, just half. It is not a big deal for normal adults to eat 1 to 2 packs a week, but instant noodles are only suitable for emergencies and can only be eaten once a day, not every day.

The shocking inside story of Master Kong’s instant noodles scandal is disgusting

When it comes to “Ting Hsin” International Group, there may be many people who don’t know much about it. If we talk about Dingyi “Master Kong” Instant noodles have become almost a household name. The slogan "delicious but visible" is unforgettable for many people, and it has also made Master Kong's instant noodles dominate the market in mainland China. However, there are still many "delicious but invisible" products. " things are now made public, and the results will make you stunned, and will also make many people who have eaten "Master Kong" instant noodles feel stuck in their throats.

Carrot dices are needed on the front line of production, and there are no qualified ones in the warehouse. There are only some reasons The section chief ordered the workers to crush the instant noodles with iron rods and feet before use. This was too irresponsible to the customers who were eating instant noodles, but Section Chief Tang said sternly: " Do whatever you are told, or go home. "Then the workers used iron rods and feet to do it very hard

"Master Kong's" advertisements have repeatedly claimed that there are no artificial colors or preservatives. What is the actual situation? September 1997," "Master Kong" imported about 14,000 kilograms of shrimp (dehydrated) from a manufacturer in Zhuhai, Guangdong. Almost all of these dehydrated shrimp were sprayed with red artificial coloring. The inspection passed all the way until they were all used. Later, they continued to enter this place.

Among all the ingredients of "Master Kong", there is a so-called "nutritional agent" whose true purpose is unknown to all mainland employees. How many people have tried to uncover its mystery, but have never succeeded. Although these cannot prove anything, people with a little common sense know that if there are no preservatives in many foods, the quality of the products will soon deteriorate.

When you walk into the production plant of "Master Kong", you will find a clear slogan posted on the wall: "Photography and photography are prohibited in the production plant. "Asked the relevant personnel why, they replied: Commercial production secrets. Is that really so?

The cooking plant and pre-processing workshop are the first step in the production of sauce buns. Onions, ginger, garlic, beef, etc. etc., are all crushed here. The author saw that after the beef was taken out of the cold storage, it was directly put into the meat slicer without even being rinsed with water. The dirt on the beef was sliced ??together with other things, and was immediately stirred in the next channel. When asked why they didn't rinse the meat, the team leader said that it was possible to rinse the onions, ginger, and garlic after stirring so much meat in one shift, but the rotten garlic was not removed and the roots of the ginger were still there. Even the blackened garlic in the back baskets was put into the mixing knife. Rotten onions and rotten garlic are common. "What you see here is just one link. Everything is so dirty that it is hard to imagine. It is the place where the famous "Master Kong" sauce package seasoning is produced.

A worker in a noodle factory Qin said that when he was working in a noodle factory, he was working the night shift one day. Due to overwork, he temporarily lay on the ground to rest. Unexpectedly, his ear was torn apart by a crazy mouse. The wound is still visible in the noodle factory. How many rats are there? It is also a "paradise" for rats. During the night shift, groups of rats are running back and forth in the warehouse. They are constantly shuttling between various concentrates and powders, and are fattened by these The refined ingredients, powder, onion slices, carrot dices, beef dices, pork dices, sugar and salt, etc. chewed by the rats are then processed and put into instant noodles for sale to customers.

" When putting out carrot pellets in the AZO" workshop, the workers found a large and several small dead mice in time, so they were not put in, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. However, according to the workers on duty, this situation was not discovered There are a lot of input materials.

When you walk here, you will be overwhelmed by the choking smell of the ingredients. You will see those workers who are covered up tightly but their clothes are so dirty that the true nature of their clothes cannot be seen. They are sweating and working hard. There is garbage everywhere under their feet. Some of the fine materials scattered on the ground are collected by the workers and put back into use again. Mixing materials in the pot? All kinds of dust and sweat on the body are constantly scattered and flowed into the mixing pot during the work of the workers.

How can all this dirty stuff remind people that the powder packet in the bag is the "Master Kong" powder packet? This is absolutely true. One squad leader reported that our working environment is so bad that there is nothing we can do about dirty clothes. As for the quality of the fine materials, although there are inspections, it is just a quick glance. Everything has to rely on the wishes of the section chief to limit the output. Get on it. Besides, customers won't feel dirty when they eat it. It has been like this for many years, and there has never been a case of eating dead people. If we were serious, maybe we would have gone home long ago. The squad leader said something: sometimes I am busy with work, and the mixing pot is not cleaned once for several months. Instant noodles are very convenient to eat, but I didn’t expect them to be easy to make.

The bacterial content of small ingredients exceeds the standard. There is an unwritten rule within the "Dingyi" company. If the incoming materials are not up to standard, if they are needed for urgent use, they can be processed for "special procurement" or "special procurement" Can be used later. And the meaning of this "special pick" is just a word from a certain Taiwanese manager. Those who are not qualified will be qualified immediately. There is a company called "Dingfang" under the "Ding Hsin" Group, which delivers garlic powder to "Ding Yi", four to five tons each time. If the test results are unqualified, they will be treated as "special picks" and there will be no returns. Anyone who has any objection is asking for trouble. Those with lighter punishments will be punished, while those with more severe punishments will be sent home. In "Dingyi", this kind of violation of the "Food Hygiene Law" is approved and recognized by the relevant leaders. Many exception review forms are confirmed after being signed by the leader. Therefore, some unqualified and untested products were put into use, and some grassroots leaders were confident.

At the end of 1997, the white sugar supply was out of stock, but the supervisor of the relevant department ordered the workers to break the clumped soft white sugar, which had been banned from use before, with a dirty hammer and continue to use it.

On April 8, 1997, "Dingyi" Company conducted a large-scale cleaning of the conditioning plant in order to cope with the ISO9000 certification inspection. In the fresh food cold storage, workers swept out a pound of rat droppings from various frozen meats. A section chief suggested that beef that had been gnawed by rats should not be used again, but Director Sun Yan of the Quality Assurance Department ordered him to stop using it. The section chief and another division chief argued hard, but were told that it would do no good to them if they continued to argue. They should ship the goods immediately and continue to use them. The goods must be shipped out before inspection, otherwise they would be responsible for the consequences. Finally, this batch of beef that has been gnawed by mice is sent to the pre-processing workshop to be made into "delicious and sweet" sauce packets.

RP Workshop "Master Kong" Chinese gourmet instant noodles may have been eaten by many people. Looking at the gorgeous outer packaging and high price, it is definitely a high-quality product. But that big bag of beef cubes was gnawed by a large group of rats when it was stored in the RP workshop at night, and then heated and bagged to make the finished product. Some Chinese gourmet sauce packets simply cannot withstand storage and often explode for unknown reasons. According to RP's warehouse manager, all workers in the RP workshop do not eat beef packaged in RP bags. Later, due to quality problems, a large number of products were backlogged, and the backlog products had to be distributed to the employees of the conditioning plant.

In early November 1997, while inspecting the workshop, the first director of the No. 1 noodle factory discovered a large urine stain next to the noodle mixing machine. After careful inspection, there was urine mixed with noodles. The director ordered a strict investigation, but he did not expect that the factory would ignore the matter later.

Concentrate warehouse of the property management section of the cooking plant. Walking into the concentrate warehouse, people will find that among the forty-five varieties it stores, seven varieties, except soy sauce powder and chili red, are in barrels. Except for this, almost all the other 30 kinds are packed in cartons. The fine materials packaged in these cartons are divided into imported and domestic. The imported cartons are a little neater, while some domestic cartons are already dilapidated. Especially the garlic powder sent by the "Dingfang" company was so dirty that it was unsightly. When asked how he could handle inspections in such a sanitary environment, a supervisor readily replied: "What's the matter? As soon as the superiors notified us of the inspection, they cleaned it up in one day.

Speaking of When the hygiene here was so disgusting, one of the workers laughed and said that if you go to the raw material warehouse and take a look, I guarantee you will never eat "Master Kong" instant noodles for the rest of your life. The raw material warehouse mainly stores green onion slices, carrot cubes, broccoli, etc. Etc. Since these things are relatively light, the packaging boxes are relatively large, and there are large plastic bags inside.

And these large plastic bags have been artificially torn in many places. If you smell them with your nose, you will immediately smell bad. Here, the degree of man-made destruction is even worse than that of the fine material warehouse. These dirty concentrates, powders and dehydrated vegetables are being continuously processed into finished products and put on the market. As the worker named Liu said, he never wants to eat "Master Kong" instant noodles again for the rest of his life.

7. Canned foods (including fish, meat and fruits)

1. Destroy vitamins and denature proteins

2. Excessive calories and nutritional deficiencies Low

● Contains preservatives. In order to extend the shelf life, preservatives (commonly used such as benzoic acid) are added to canned foods during the production process. Generally speaking, the preservatives added to canned foods have been tested to have no toxic effects on the human body. It is relatively safe to eat a small amount for a short period of time. However, regular consumption can cause damage to the liver and kidneys.

●Contains additives. Additives are added to cans to make the food taste delicious. During the processing, additives added to cans include spices, pigments, artificial flavorings, etc., which are harmful to children.

●Loss of vitamins. After canning processing, the loss of vitamin C is about 10%-60%, the loss of vitamin B1 is 20%-80%, the loss of vitamin B2 and vitamin PP is less than 10%, the loss of pantothenic acid is 20%-30%, and the loss of vitamin A is 15%-20%. .

Therefore, the canned foods currently on the market have certain defects in nutrition and hygiene and cannot replace fresh vegetables and fruits. Children are not suitable for eating large amounts of canned food.

8. Plum preserved foods (preserved fruits)

1. Contains one of the three major carcinogens: nitrite (preservation and color development)

2. Too much salt, containing preservatives and flavors (liver damage)

Preserved fruits, plums and candied foods contain nitrite, which can combine with amines in the human body to form nitrite amines, a potential carcinogen. ; Containing additives such as flavors may damage the liver and other organs; Containing high salt content may increase blood pressure and increase the burden on the kidneys.

9. Frozen desserts (ice cream, popsicles and various ice creams)

1. Containing cream can easily cause obesity

2. Excessive sugar content High-impact meals

If you eat too much ice cream, it will be bad for your stomach. Eating a few sticks or boxes at one time will affect the internal movement process of the human body and cause diarrhea...

10. Barbecue foods

1. Contain a large amount of "triphenyltetrapropylene" ” (the first of the three major carcinogens)

2. 1 grilled chicken leg = 20 cigarettes are toxic

3. Cause protein carbonization and denaturation (increasing the burden on the kidneys and liver)

After three years of research, the World Health Organization recently selected and announced the six healthiest foods and the top ten junk foods, saying that eating barbecue is as toxic as smoking.

A report from an American research center said that eating one grilled chicken leg is as toxic as smoking 60 cigarettes. The WHO says that eating barbecue is as harmful as smoking. 1 grilled chicken leg = 60 cigarettes

A report from a US research center said that women who often eat barbecue have a higher risk of breast cancer than women who don't like barbecue. Food is 2 times higher in women. Experts explained that because the meat is grilled directly at high temperatures, the decomposed fat drips on the charcoal fire, and then combines with the protein in the meat to produce a carcinogen called benzopyrene. If people often eat barbecue food contaminated with benzopyrene, carcinogens will accumulate in the body and risk inducing gastric cancer and intestinal cancer.

As for the "toxicity" of barbecue food, Hao Fengtong, director of the Department of Occupational Diseases and Poisoning Medicine at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, told reporters that because this type of food contains high fat and calories, high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease are "Modern diseases" such as vascular diseases have a lot to do with it. The chemical structure of oil will change under the influence of high temperature, which may have adverse effects on human health.

It is understood that because meat is grilled directly at high temperatures, the decomposed fat drips on the charcoal fire, and then combines with the protein in the meat to produce a carcinogen called benzopyrene.

Induce gastric cancer and intestinal cancer

Experts explained that if people often eat barbecue food contaminated with benzopyrene, carcinogens will accumulate in the body and may induce gastric and intestinal cancer. Danger.

At the same time, there is another carcinogen-nitrosamines in barbecue food. The production of nitrosamines originates from the marinating process before grilling meat skewers. If the marinating time is too long, nitrosamines are likely to be produced.

Affects young people’s vision

In addition, according to an authoritative study in the United States in recent years, eating too much cooked, smoked and grilled meat will be threatened by diseases such as parasites. It can even seriously affect the vision of teenagers and cause myopia.

Frying is also harmful

In addition to barbecued food, benzopyrene will be produced by high-temperature vegetable oil and over-fried food that have been used for many times. This morning, the city's nutrition experts issued a warning that the harm of fried foods to health cannot be ignored.

According to Dr. Yang Ziyan, a nutritionist in charge of the Nutrition Department of Beijing Hospital, the reason why doctors do not advocate eating fried foods is mainly because oil will decompose a substance called acrylamide under the action of high temperature. It is produced after high-temperature frying of carbohydrate-rich foods and can induce benign or malignant tumors. At the same time, if the human body consumes too much oil, it is easy to gain weight, which can lead to high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular and other diseases.

The hazards of barbecue food mainly include the following aspects:

1. Reduced protein utilization: When meat is grilled in the oven, vitamins and amino acids are destroyed, and protein is denatured, seriously affecting the intake of these nutrients.

2. Hidden carcinogens: In the "Maillard" reaction, the nucleic acids in meat react with most amino acids to produce genetic mutation substances when heated and decomposed. These genetic mutation substances may lead to the occurrence of cancer.

3. Easily infected with parasites: Grilled food is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and some meat is not yet cooked on the inside. If the meat is substandard, eaters may be infected with parasites, posing hidden dangers.

After grilling, the nature of the food tends to be hot. In addition, cumin, pepper, chili pepper and other condiments are hot ingredients, which are very spicy and exciting, and will greatly stimulate gastrointestinal motility and the secretion of digestive juices. It may damage the mucosa of the digestive tract and affect the balance of the body.
