Oral cancer caused by eating

Liu Hongwei, Chief Physician, Department of Oral Mucosa, Peking University Hospital of Stomatology:

Many patients with oral cancer have a common hobby, which is long-term chewing of betel nuts. The harmful substances in betel nuts are not only carcinogenic, but also because betel nuts themselves are hard in texture, long-term consumption can also cause damage to the oral mucosa, thereby leading to the occurrence of oral precancerous lesions.

suggestion:

To ensure oral health, we must first ensure oral cleanliness, brush teeth and rinse mouth more often. In addition, we should eat more foods rich in vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and vitamin C, which are beneficial to the health of oral mucosa, such as tomatoes, eggplants, carrots, white radish, cabbage, spinach, etc.

Colon cancer caused by eating

Gao Zhidong, Chief Physician, Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Peking University People's Hospital:

The occurrence of colorectal cancer is closely related to unhealthy eating habits. Eating more fried and processed red meat and less whole grains and vegetables, coupled with too little exercise, will lead to slower gastrointestinal motility. High-fat foods will also increase the secretion of bile acid in the intestines, causing irritation and damage to the intestinal mucosa. Over time, this will increase the risk of colorectal cancer.

suggestion:

Appropriately increase the intake of coarse grains, including purple rice, brown rice, red beans, oats, etc.;

Increase the intake of fruits and vegetables. These foods are rich in dietary fiber, which can speed up intestinal peristalsis and accelerate the discharge of intestinal waste;

Reduce the intake of processed red meat. This type of food may produce harmful substances such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic amines during the production or processing process. Eating too much can increase the incidence of colorectal cancer. It is recommended not to consume it more than 1 to 2 times a week.

Liver cancer caused by eating

Zhao Guodong, Associate Chief Physician, Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Medicine, First Medical Center, PLA General Hospital:

Aflatoxin is a metabolite of Aspergillus flavus. It grows at a temperature of 28℃-38℃. It likes humidity and is generally invisible to the naked eye. It can cause liver cancer.

1 mg of aflatoxin can cause cancer, and a single intake of 20 mg of aflatoxin can directly cause death in adults. Its toxicity is 10 times that of potassium cyanide and 68 times that of arsenic. It can only be killed by high temperatures above 280°C. It is the strongest biological carcinogen we know of, and likes to hide in moldy chopsticks, expired or spoiled cooking oil, bitter nuts, spoiled rice, steamed buns and other staple foods.

Preventing aflatoxin and mold is a key measure, so whether it is food or daily necessities, they should be kept dry and low in temperature as much as possible.

How to prevent chopsticks from getting moldy:

● Wash chopsticks thoroughly;

● Frequently take out chopsticks and expose them to the sun;

●Use the sterilizing cabinet frequently to sterilize chopsticks;

●It is best to replace wooden chopsticks after six months of use.

Gastric cancer caused by eating

Chai Ningli, Chief Physician, Department of Gastroenterology, First Medical Center, PLA General Hospital:

Many people like to eat pickled vegetables, meats and fish, such as pickles, sauerkraut, bacon and salted fish, because they think they are more delicious, appetizing and good with rice. However, pickled foods contain high levels of nitrite, which accumulates in the body for a long time and has carcinogenic, teratogenic and gene mutation effects, and is one of the "culprits" leading to gastric cancer. Barbecue foods, which are popular among people, also contain high levels of nitrite.

suggestion:

Try to eat less barbecued and pickled foods, eat more fresh foods, such as vegetables and fruits, and eat less overnight or moldy foods.

Esophageal cancer caused by eating

"The food is here, eat it while it's hot!" This is a phrase you often hear at the dinner table. Although food tastes better when it's hot, eating very hot food frequently can pose a health risk.

For example, hot drinks or food at 65℃ or above will increase the risk of esophageal cancer. This is because overheated food will cause physical damage to the esophageal mucosa in the esophagus. Once the mucosa is damaged, gastric acid reflux will also irritate the damaged area. This repeated damage can easily lead to cell canceration, and the risk of esophageal cancer will increase.

suggestion:

The suitable temperature range that we can accept for food is between 10℃ and 40℃, and the high temperature range that can be tolerated is between 50℃ and 60℃, so please pay attention.
