To induce stomach cancer, intestinal cancer

The hazards of barbecue food are mainly the following: 1. Reduced protein utilization: meat grilled on the grill, vitamins and amino acids are destroyed, protein denaturation, seriously affecting the intake of these nutrients.

2. Hidden carcinogens: meat in the nucleic acids in the "Mellard" reaction, and most of the amino acids in the heating decomposition of genetic mutations in the material, these genetic mutations may lead to the occurrence of cancer.

3. Easily infected with parasites: barbecue food outside the burnt, some of the meat inside is not cooked, if the meat is not qualified, the eater may be infected with parasites, laying a hidden danger.

After the barbecue, the nature of the food tends to be hot, plus cumin, pepper, chili pepper and other spices are hot ingredients, very spicy and stimulating, will greatly stimulate the gastrointestinal tract peristalsis and secretion of digestive juices, it is possible to damage the mucous membranes of the digestive tract, but also affect the balance of the body.

Long-term consumption of such food will be potentially harmful to the human body.

Researchers used the broad bean apical cell nuclear test and A mes test two test methods, on the market in Hangzhou, roast chicken, roast duck, smoked fish, barbecued pork, salted fish, ham, salted pork, winter pickles, tempeh, stinky tofu, moldy winter melon, moldy dried vegetables, moldy thousand sheets, moldy cabbage stalks, shrimp and fish brine, more than 10 kinds of food for the test.
