I. Moldy food must not be eaten
Aflatoxin, a toxin produced by fungi, is a carcinogen that can induce liver cancer in humans, monkeys, rats, and poultry, with the shortest incubation period being 24 weeks. To prevent fungal contamination of food, the following should be noted:
1. Home-stored 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 removed and discarded. Humans, livestock, and poultry must not consume them.
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 them. They 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 contain a chemical component that can alter the structure of proteins, causing the cells of these altered proteins to lose their normal function and transform into early-stage cancer cells. In addition, other chemical components in acids 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. Food fried or stir-fried with rancid oil not only tastes bad, but more importantly, it can cause cancer and shorten one's lifespan. Editor's recommendation: Rice bran fiber can prevent cancer
Rice bran is rich in B vitamins, which is beneficial for liver health. For patients with liver disease or long-term chronic carriers of the hepatitis B surface antigen, frequently using rice bran to diversify their diet to absorb and expel harmful substances from the digestive tract is indeed a way to prevent digestive tract cancers.
