Research by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has shown that safrole can cause liver cancer. Adding 0.04% to 1% safrole to the feed of mice for 150 days to 2 years can induce liver cancer in the mice. Ginger contains safrole, so excessive consumption of ginger can easily increase the risk of liver cancer. Furthermore, spoiled ginger produces toxins that can also cause cancer. Some people believe that "spotted ginger is not spoiled," but this idea is not based on science and is very dangerous. Because spoiled ginger produces toxins, which in severe cases can lead to liver cancer and esophageal cancer. Therefore, moderation is key in all things, just as with ginger. Eating a little can be beneficial for your health, but eating too much can easily lead to liver cancer.
