Why can pickles cause cancer? At the beginning, it was estimated that many people would have a jar at home to pickle things. This view holds that vegetables will not only produce special flavor, but also produce sodium nitrite during fermentation. In fact, in the past, some sodium nitrite was indeed produced in the process of pickling pickles, because the original methods and instruments used in pickling pickles could not guarantee the hygiene problems, and it was easy to cause bacteria and produce carcinogens. Eating this pickle will cause cancer.
In fact, there is another kind of kimchi that is not recommended for everyone. It is estimated that many people will put a layer of salt on radish or other ingredients and then dry them in the sun. In fact, this pickle will produce sodium nitrite, which will cause cancer if eaten for a long time.
How to eat pickles to be healthy? 1. Avoid making kimchi yourself.
It is estimated that many people will think that what they do at home is definitely healthier than what they do outside. In fact, it also depends on brand comparison. The sanitary conditions of regular manufacturers with national licenses may not be as good as those at home, and the content of sodium nitrite in kimchi will be strictly controlled, so the kimchi made by ourselves may not be guaranteed.
Reduce food consumption
In fact, the best way to avoid affecting your health is not to eat, but you can't resist the temptation of delicious food, so reduce your consumption. Eat at most once a week, and it is best to drink water several times before eating. You know, pickles are high in salt, even if they are not carcinogenic, they will increase the risk of hypertension, especially for the elderly.
In a word, pickles may not be as terrible as cancer. South Korea is a country that often eats pickles, but the cancer rate is not higher than other countries. Although pickles are not so dangerous, the nutritional value of pickles is far from that of fresh vegetables. It is right to eat more fresh vegetables on time!
