Eating baked sausages every day, teenagers die of colorectal cancer.
17-year-old Xiaoshan (a pseudonym) began to have abnormal abdominal pain and even colic one day. Later, she went to Changhua Christian Hospital to arrange colonoscopy and found out that she had stage III colorectal cancer. She had to have an emergency tumor resection and receive chemotherapy, but died of cancer due to lymphatic metastasis five years later. Huang Xuanyuan, a rectal surgeon of Zhang Jiji who accepted the case, said that Xiaoshan had no family history of colorectal cancer, but he loved to eat roasted sausages almost every day since he was a child. Because adding nitrite to sausages will form carcinogens, it is better to eat less. Huang Xuanyuan pointed out that unless there is a family history or serious symptoms, adolescents and children under the age of 20 are rarely arranged for colonoscopy. When Xiaoshan arrived at the hospital, she had obvious symptoms such as abdominal pain and colic, and only after examination did she find the existing malignant tumor of ascending colon. The reason is that there is no family history in Xiaoshan district, which is related to his eating habits. It turns out that Xiaoshan likes to eat barbecue and sausage, but nitrite will be added to sausages and bacon, which will form amine nitrite carcinogens after entering the human body; If the meat is burnt, eating it will easily cause cell variation. The combination of the two factors will deepen the harm of baked sausage to the body and increase the chance of developing colorectal cancer. Cai, director of Zhangji Vascular Medicine Prevention and Control Center and chairman of the National Federation of Dietitians Associations of the Republic of China, said that the sausage itself combines unfavorable factors such as red meat, barbecue and frying, nitrite and high fat. Taking barbecue as an example, when high-fat oil is heated into charcoal, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) will be produced, which is one of carcinogens; Red meat such as pork, beef and mutton is rich in amphetamine acid. When exposed to high temperature, the carcinogen isocyclic amine will be released, which is related to the occurrence of colorectal cancer and breast cancer. Cai suggested that sausages can be cooked in other ways to reduce the harm to the body, such as boiling, steaming and microwave heating instead of barbecue and frying, which can reduce the generation of nitrosamines. Sausages can also be eaten with vegetables. According to the research of Kaohsiung Medical University, eating more vegetables can reduce the probability of nitrosamines production by 50%. Teenagers should reduce the frequency of eating sausages, once or twice a week at most, and once a month for children at most.
