Regular consumption of two types of food can easily lead to liver cancer
I. Moldy food should not be eaten
Aflatoxin, a carcinogenic substance found in fungi, can induce liver cancer in humans, monkeys, rats, and poultry, with the shortest incubation period being 24 weeks. To prevent fungal contamination of food, pay attention to the following:
1. Store-homed peanuts, corn, dried sweet potatoes, rice, millet, etc., must be thoroughly dried and stored in a dry, ventilated environment.
2. Moldy peanuts, dried sweet potatoes, dried radishes, etc., should be discarded and not consumed by humans, livestock, or poultry.
3. Peanut oil and cottonseed oil should not be stored for long periods. When a large batch of grain, oil, or dairy products is suspected of being contaminated by fungi, the epidemic prevention station should be asked to inspect it. It can only be distributed, sold, or consumed after receiving approval.
II. Animal and vegetable oils with a rancid smell should not be eaten
Stale oils all contain a chemical component that can alter the structure of proteins, causing cells with altered proteins to lose their normal function and transform into early-stage cancer cells. In addition, other chemical components in the oil can accelerate the human aging process. Therefore, animal and vegetable oils should not be stored for too long, and oils that have gone rancid should not be eaten. Foods fried with rancid oil not only taste bad, but more importantly, they can cause cancer and shorten one's lifespan.
