What harm will pickles bring?
Eating too much causes cancer.
Pickled vegetables contain carcinogen "ammonium nitrite". A large amount of salt will be added in the processing of pickled food, and the salt contains impurities, such as nitrite and nitrate. Therefore, eating pickled food often is harmful to the body and can also induce cancer.
Hypoxia poisons human body.
In the process of vegetable pickling, the pickled food is often contaminated by microorganisms, which reduces it to nitrite. Eating pickled cabbage with too much nitrite will turn hemoglobin in the blood into methemoglobin that loses its oxygen-carrying function, causing human hypoxia poisoning.
Too much salt will affect the mucosal system.
Because a large amount of salt needs to be put in the curing process of food, the sodium content of this kind of food will exceed the standard, which will increase the burden on the kidneys of people who often eat cured food and increase the risk of hypertension. High concentration of salt can also seriously damage gastrointestinal mucosa, so people who often eat pickled food have a higher incidence of gastrointestinal inflammation and ulcer.
Accelerate skin aging
Because sodium ions and chloride ions in salt will cause facial cells to lose water, which will reduce skin quality.
Lead to vitamin c deficiency in human body
Vitamin C was destroyed in the process of vegetable curing. After pickling, the composition of vitamin C was almost "completely annihilated". Eating a lot of pickles makes people lack vitamin C. Therefore, eating pickles properly can regulate appetite and increase appetite, but it is not advisable if you are addicted to pickles. If eaten for a long time, it is easy to cause various diseases.
Causing stones
Pickled sauerkraut contains more oxalic acid and calcium. Because of its high acidity, it is not easy to form calcium oxalate in the intestine after eating, but it will be absorbed in large quantities, and calcium oxalate will crystallize and deposit in the urinary system to form stones.
