1. After being grilled, the nature of the food tends to be hot and dry. Coupled with the use of various seasonings such as cumin, pepper, and chili, which are all considered hot ingredients, the food is very spicy and irritating. This greatly stimulates gastrointestinal motility and the secretion of digestive fluids, potentially damaging the digestive tract mucosa and disrupting the body's constitutional balance, leading to "internal heat".
2. Prone to parasitic infections: Grilled food is often charred on the outside but tender on the inside, with some meat remaining undercooked or even raw. If the undercooked raw meat is of poor quality, such as "pork with cysticerci," the consumer could become infected with parasites, posing a risk of developing cysticercosis.
3. Hidden carcinogens: In the Maillard reaction, nucleic acids in meat, along with most amino acids during thermal decomposition, produce gene-mutating substances. These substances can potentially cause cancer. Additionally, in the grilling environment, some carcinogens can enter the human body through the skin, respiratory tract, and digestive tract, inducing cancer.
4. Reduced protein utilization: During the grilling process, the "Maillard reaction" occurs. As meat grills on the stove, it releases an enticing aroma. However, as this aroma is released, vitamins are destroyed, proteins become denatured, and amino acids are also damaged, severely affecting the intake of vitamins, proteins, and amino acids. Therefore, long-term consumption of grilled foods can impact the utilization of these substances.
5. Excessive consumption of overcooked, smoked, or grilled protein-rich foods, such as grilled lamb skewers and grilled fish skewers, can seriously impair the vision of adolescents, leading to myopia. Women who frequently eat fried eggs and meat increase their risk of ovarian and breast cancer. For instance, eating them every other day increases the risk three-fold compared to once a week, and five-fold compared to once a month.
6. The source of the raw materials is shocking, and the hygiene conditions during the processing process are even more concerning.
