?? Check the facts with experts. Prof. Dr. Isarang Nuchprayoon, Pediatric Chivapiban Center Chulalongkorn Hospital, Thai Red Cross Society, pediatric cancer specialist Department of Pediatrics Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University

These shared blacklisted foods do not cause cancer at all. The blacklist was created by itself. Keep sending it, it looks even cooler. But it is already known as food. We cannot eat the same thing in such large quantities that it can cause cancer.

Blacklist: MSG ?

MSG is not a toxic substance. It is a natural substance. ‘Monosodium’ and ‘Glutamate’

‘Glutamate’ is a basic part of protein from meat and plants.

‘Sodium’ is the same type of sodium as table salt. Of course, if you eat too much of this food group, such as eating too much salt, it can be toxic. Eating every day is no problem.

Numerous studies have been con
ducted to prove whether MSG is related to cancer or not. Both in experimental animals and in people who continuously consume MSG. It was not found to have any more cancer than people who ate normal foods.

Does MSG have any negative effects on health? Answer “Yes”…

It’s “there” that it’s delicious, so it makes you eat a lot and get fat. When you’re fat, you’re at risk for cancer. It’s indirectly related.

The point is that MSG itself is not a carcinogen.

Does eating chewing gum cause cancer ?

Chewing gum (not eaten) is mostly chewed and then spit out. It definitely has no effect on cancer. But things that are chewed can cause cancer, such as areca nuts and betel. It is definitely known to be related to cancer. especially oral cancer In this era, it’s better not to eat.

Pork liver ?

Pork liver is not carcinogenic. In fact, you have to be encouraged to eat it. People who do not eat liver at all will become pale and anemic because iron is important in making blood.

Pickles ?

It’s definitely better to ea
t fresh food. There are more nutrients.

Are fermented substances dangerous? In theory, it isn’t. (carcinogenic) and there is no scientific evidence.

Bottled fruit juice ?

Standard bottle filling process It will be inspected by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), Ministry of Public Health. Substandard products can be eliminated.

Century eggs ?

The method of making “preserved eggs” in ancient times may have some risks from heavy metals. The negative effects therefore come from the heavy metals themselves. Claims of cancer are incorrect.

Smelly tofu ?

‘Stinky tofu’ I don’t know, but if tofu can smell bad there must be bacteria. which risks diarrhea But sometimes you get good quality bacteria. The part that says it’s cancer is probably not true.

Does Patonggo cause cancer ?

Regarding the patongko, I’m probably worried about reusing frying oil. which is not good in terms of food quality But it probably won’t cause cancer.

What kind of food causes cancer?

in science If any substance is found to be a
carcinogen That is, there was a comparison between tens of thousands of people who ate that type of food and those who didn’t. Even though it can be said that the chance of cancer is higher than people who eat certain types of food. Compared to another type of food

Foods that are known to cause cancer As far as scientific evidence is concerned, it is meat because it has been found that people who regularly eat meat do not eat vegetables. Will have a higher chance of getting cancer than people who eat only vegetables and don’t eat meat.

As for other foods, as far as there is scientific study. It was not found to cause cancer at all.

At present, there are relevant recommended guidelines. ‘Food and cancer’ is trusted all over the world with 3 principles: Reduce meat. Eat more vegetables. Eat in moderation. Don’t put on too much weight. It will help reduce the risk of getting cancer.

Principles for eating “variety” ?

Of course, eating the same food would not be good. Eating a variety can help reduce your ris
k of cancer. Because all food has contaminants. or there is toxicity in it If you eat a variety of foods, there will be no way for them to accumulate and cause health problems.

There are many factors involved in getting cancer. And food is only a small factor. Compared to other factors

Foods that prevent cancer ?

‘Cancer’ occurs naturally. But it may reduce the risk somewhat.

Eating vegetables all your life can cause cancer, so don’t do it because you intend to prevent cancer. You may be disappointed. Because eating vegetables just reduces the risk.

In conclusion, the stories about “MSG” and the “black list of carcinogenic foods” are untrue and should not be shared further. Some false information May not cause direct harm to life. But it may result in misunderstandings. Until you miss out on good things in life
