Sour cabbage is the "root of cancer" and pickles are the "catalyst of high blood pressure"? I suddenly realized it after reading this.

Pickles and sauerkraut can be said to be classic delicacies often eaten by many families, but they contain substances that are very harmful to human health.

First, pickles contain a peroxide called "fermented bean curd", which inhibits the synthesis of cholesterol and leads to high cholesterol levels in the body. In addition, the large amount of salt in pickles can accelerate the body's water retention, which can lead to increased blood pressure and increase the probability of heart disease, cerebral thrombosis and other diseases.

Secondly, sauerkraut contains a lot of acid, which can suppress the body's immune system and make children and the elderly more susceptible to viral infections. In addition, too much acid can damage the health of the stomach and intestines, causing discomfort in the stomach and digestive tract.

In short, the harmful substances such as peroxides, acidity, and large amounts of salt contained in pickles and sauerkraut will increase the probability of many diseases and even lead to serious health problems. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone pay attention to controlling the intake when eating pickles and sauerkraut to protect their health.
