According to medical research, atherosclerosis began at the age of 7. At present, the culprit is selling local workers and fried foods such as KFC.
It will also gain weight and cause cancer.
Recently, the Ministry of Health announced that starch foods are prone to produce acrylamide when cooked at a high temperature above 120℃. Animal experiments show that acrylamide is a possible carcinogen. The Ministry of Health advises the public to change their eating habits mainly based on fried and high-fat foods in order to reduce the potential harm of acrylamide to human body.
The monitoring results of food pollutants by the Ministry of Health show that the acrylamide content in starch foods (such as fried potato chips and fried potato chips) processed at high temperature is higher, and the acrylamide content in potato fried foods is four times higher than that in cereal fried foods on average. China residents eat more fried food, and their exposure is large. Long-term low-dose exposure is potentially harmful.
The announcement pointed out that acrylamide is a chemical substance and a raw material for the production of polyacrylamide, which can be used for industrial purposes such as sewage purification. Epidemiological observation of occupational exposed people shows that people who have been exposed to acrylamide for a long time at low doses will have symptoms such as drowsiness, mood and memory changes, hallucinations and tremors, accompanied by peripheral nervous diseases such as sweating and muscle weakness. Although the influence of acrylamide on human health needs further study, these problems should be paid attention to. The human body can be exposed to acrylamide through digestive tract, respiratory tract, skin and mucosa, so food is considered as the main source of acrylamide intake for human beings.
The Ministry of Health suggested that the public should avoid cooking starch food for a long time or at high temperature in their daily life. Advocate reasonable nutrition, balance diet, change the eating habits of fried and high-fat foods, and reduce the possible health hazards caused by acrylamide.
On March 2 this year, the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives of the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations warned the public to pay attention to acrylamide in food and called for measures to reduce the acrylamide content in food and ensure food safety. The announcement of the Ministry of Health was issued accordingly.
"Fried food can cause cancer, and the academic community has long been conclusive." Experts from China Cancer Research Foundation said that fried food, barbecue and other foods are far more harmful to human health than Sudan Red, which is widely known recently. "Just like smoking, long-term intake of fried food can cause a variety of tumor diseases."
Experts from the Nutrition Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital told reporters that no matter how harmful acrylamide is to human body, eating fried food occasionally will not be very harmful to human body, but this process, like smoking may induce lung cancer, is a process of long-term accumulation of toxicity, and long-term consumption will definitely pose a great threat to health. In addition, fried food is extremely high in calories and fat, and long-term intake will also lead to obesity or some related diseases, such as diabetes, coronary heart disease and hyperlipidemia.
