Wang Rongping, chief physician of Fujian Cancer Hospital, said that pickled products such as shrimp oil and dried fish contain a lot of ammonium nitrite, nitrite and salt. Ammonium nitrite will destroy human DNA. "Long-term consumption of such foods is more likely to cause cancer, so try to exercise restraint. Appetite can be controlled, and life is only once. "
Judging from the distribution of high-incidence areas of gastric cancer in China, most of the problems lie in diet, which has "local characteristics". What they have in common is long-term consumption of pickled foods, such as meat pickled products, salted fish, pickles, seafood and so on.
Fujian can be said to be a representative of the high incidence of gastric cancer in coastal cities. Most patients with gastric cancer will ask themselves about their habits of eating shrimp oil and dried salted fish. Many old Fuzhou people fry three meals a day with shrimp oil.
Fish sauce:
Shrimp oil, also called fish sauce, is one of the traditional seafood condiments in China and is called "salty" by fishermen along the coast of Fuzhou. Now the brewing of shrimp oil is modern, and it is the juice extracted by fresh shrimp fermentation. There are also fish soy sauce, soy sauce and soy sauce made from the leftovers of small-scale fish, fenugreek, small miscellaneous fish, clam meat and canned fish, which are collectively called shrimp oil.
The taste of shrimp oil can stimulate appetite and make people addicted, but few people know that eating too much shrimp oil can cause cancer. Shrimp oil contains ammonium nitrite, which is occasionally used as seasoning in a small amount. It tastes delicious, but excessive consumption will cause cancer.
Refer to the above? People's Daily Online-Fuzhou's "shrimp oil smell" hides in the "trap" on the tip of the tongue. Excessive consumption of ammonium nitrite causes cancer.
