A few days ago, Ms. Xie of Yunnan ate about 350 grams of moldy bait at home and went into septic shock when she was transferred to Kunming.
Hu Rui, an emergency doctor at the Affiliated Hospital of Yunnan University, said:
According to the laboratory indicators, it is systemic multiple organ failure. The liver enzyme index of normal people is generally not more than forty or fifty, but the liver enzyme index of patients has reached more than one thousand. The patient has developed liver failure, impaired renal function, impaired myocardial enzymes and poor coagulation function. ?
It is conceivable that eating moldy food is very harmful to the body.
First, foods that can cause acute gastroenteritis and mildew contain a lot of mold. After eating, it will destroy the stability of the original flora in the body, leading to food poisoning and even acute abdomen, which is life-threatening. Secondly, eating moldy food will make mold spores invade the blood or respiratory tract, causing major problems.
Second, foods that can cause liver damage, cancer and mildew are so harmful to the body. Direct consumption may lead to liver damage and cancer. Moldy foods, especially moldy nuts and grains, are prone to Aspergillus flavus. Aflatoxin secreted by Aspergillus flavus is a carcinogen, so if you eat peanuts, walnuts and melon seeds, you will spit it out immediately!
These moldy foods have a strong carcinogenic effect on the liver.
In addition, don't eat moldy sweet potatoes, fruits and red sugar cane, even if you cut off the moldy parts.
Third, aflatoxin is very resistant to high temperature, so high temperature is ineffective for it. Aflatoxin contained in moldy food is very heat-resistant (up to 270℃), so it is difficult to completely detoxify it in general cooking and processing. Another point is that Aspergillus flavus is most likely to breed and produce toxins in the environment with temperature of 28℃ to 32℃ and relative humidity above 85%.
So we must not eat moldy food in our daily life:
1. After eating bitter gourd seeds or nuts, spit them out immediately and rinse your mouth. Don't eat fungus that has been soaked for a long time.
2. Don't eat inferior sesame paste and peanut butter.
3. Chopsticks should be replaced regularly, because bare chopsticks and painted chopsticks are easy to crack, and hidden food residues produce aflatoxin, and regular intake will increase the risk of liver cancer.
End with the doctor's words to warn everyone:
Aflatoxin may be produced under wet and cold conditions, so health management should be strengthened. In our life, salt can neutralize and degrade a part of aflatoxin in our body, and we can also degrade aflatoxin by eating more green leafy vegetables. ?
