According to reports, relevant authorities have recently released a blacklist of carcinogenic foods:
Cured fish
Cured fish produces dimethylnitrosamine. Shrimp paste, salted eggs, pickled vegetables, Chinese sausage, ham, and smoked pork also contain carcinogenic substances and should be consumed as little as possible.
Barbecued food
Barbecued beef, duck, lamb, goose, suckling pig, and lamb skewibs, etc., should not be eaten in excess due to the presence of strong carcinogens.
Smoked food
Smoked meat, liver, fish, eggs, dried tofu, etc., contain the carcinogen benzopyrene. Regular consumption can easily lead to esophageal and stomach cancer.
Fried food
After being fried to a char, carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are produced. When coffee is burnt, benzopyrene increases 20-fold. Fried pancakes, stinky tofu, fried taro puffs, youtiao (fried dough sticks), etc., often use reused oil, which produces carcinogens at high temperatures.
Moldy substances
Foods such as rice, wheat, beans, corn, and peanuts are prone to moisture and mold. After being contaminated by mold, they produce the carcinogen aflatoxin.[China Food]
Leftover cooked cabbage and sauerkraut
These produce nitrites, which are converted into the carcinogenic nitrosamine in the body.
Areca nut
Chewing areca nut is a factor that causes oral cancer.
Re-boiled water
Re-boiled water contains nitrites, which are converted into the carcinogenic nitrosamine in the human body.
Ham + lactic acid beverages
Ham, bacon, and other meat products in sandwiches, when consumed with lactic acid beverages, can easily cause cancer. Meat products often require the addition of nitrates to prevent spoilage and the growth of Clostridium botulinum. When nitrates come into contact with organic acids, they are converted into a carcinogenic substance called nitrosamine.
