1. Carcinogenic
During barbecue, the nucleic acid contained in meat will react with most amino acids in Maillard reaction to produce genetic mutations, which are the main causes of cancer. In addition, if the human body is in a barbecue environment for a long time, some carcinogens will enter the human body through the skin, respiratory tract and digestive tract, thus inducing various cancers. Moreover, many people barbecue mainly with meat, because meat is directly barbecued at high temperature-so the decomposed fat will drip on the charcoal fire.
Thermal polymerization produced by food fat coking will combine with protein, a kind of meat food poisoning, thus producing a highly carcinogenic substance called benzopyrene, which will also adhere to the food surface.
2. Gastric cancer and intestinal cancer
A large number of research reports show that some people who often eat barbecue food are more likely to suffer from gastric cancer and intestinal cancer. This is because burnt food and fried food can produce benzopyrene, which is the main cause of gastric cancer. If you often eat barbecue food contaminated by benzopyrene in your daily life, then these carcinogens will accumulate in your body, which will inevitably lead to the risk of gastric cancer and intestinal cancer in the long run. Nitrosamine, another carcinogen, will be produced in the barbecue process, and nitrosamines are easily produced in the curing process of kebabs before roasting.
Besides carcinogens, barbecue foods can't be eaten too much because they contain a lot of fat. Moreover, this kind of food is very difficult to digest and absorb, which will increase the burden on the stomach after eating it.
3. It is equivalent to the harm of smoking
Everyone knows that smoking is harmful to human health, and long-term smoking will seriously affect the health of various tissues and systems of the human body. But the latest research found that eating barbecue for a long time is as harmful as smoking, even more harmful than smoking. A research center in the United States reported that eating a roast chicken leg is equivalent to smoking 60 cigarettes. Some women who like to barbecue regularly have twice the risk of breast cancer as those who don't like barbecue food.
Moreover, if women eat barbecue food for a long time, it may increase the risk of ovarian cancer. This shows how toxic barbecue food is, and we should eat as little as possible for human health.
4. Parasitic infection
The popularity of barbecue food has a lot to do with its delicious taste. However, some of this meat is not even fully cooked. If uncooked raw meat is unqualified meat, such as "rice pork", it may be infected with parasites and bury the hidden danger of cerebral cysticercosis.
