3-4 benzopyrene is a harmful substance that can induce cancer. In the process of smoking and roasting beef and mutton, the decomposed fat drops on the charcoal fire, which combines with the heated meat protein to produce 3-4 benzopyrenes, which directly adhere to the meat surface and pollute the food. The content of 3-4 benzopyrene in street kebabs usually exceeds the standard 10 times or even hundreds of times. China's Food Hygiene Law restricts the content of 3-4 benzopyrene in smoked products.
In addition, the choking smoke in the charcoal fire during barbecue also contains many carcinogens, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, dioxins, benzopyrene and so on. Among them, dioxins are internationally recognized as strong carcinogens, and long-term inhalation of these gases will greatly increase the risk of illness.
Mutagens are substances that can cause mutations in human tissues and cells. Animal experiments show that the toxicity of this "mutation source" in smoked and charred food is 0/00 times greater than that of the strong carcinogen 3-4 benzopyrene/kloc-0.
A health research center in the United States found that women who often eat barbecue food are twice as likely to develop breast cancer as women who don't like barbecue food. Women who love to eat high-temperature barbecue products in girlhood have a significantly higher probability of getting married or suffering from breast cancer after middle age.
In addition, eating barbecue food often will increase the burden on the kidneys and liver. When barbecuing, it will give off an attractive fragrance because in the process of barbecuing food, a chemical reaction called Maillard reaction will occur. With the flavor, protein in meat mutates, and vitamins and amino acids are destroyed, which seriously affects the intake of protein, amino acids and vitamins, thus increasing the burden on kidneys and livers.
AGE is a cross-linking substance between protein and reducing sugar, which is a kind of protein. It interacts with sugar in the body and easily leads to arteriosclerosis. Age is more harmful to patients with type 2 diabetes who can't regulate blood sugar. The age depends mainly on how the food is cooked. Therefore, Nott nutrition experts remind everyone that in today's promotion of healthy eating, please try to eat less or not to eat barbecue food for your health.
