summary

A, sauerkraut contains nitrites, toxic and carcinogenic?

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies cancer-causing factors as Class 1, Class 2A, Class 2B, Class 3 and Class 4 according to the risk they pose to people. Among them, pickled foods including sauerkraut belong to category 2B carcinogens, i.e., animal experiments and evidence of carcinogenicity to humans is not sufficient or insufficient evidence of carcinogenicity to humans, and evidence of carcinogenicity to experimental animals is sufficient. So why is sauerkraut said to be carcinogenic?

This is because sauerkraut contains a lot of nitrites. Nitrite is an additive that is allowed to be added, and the National Standard for Food Safety Limits for Pollutants in Foods states that the nitrite content in pickled vegetables should be controlled at less than 20mg/kg, and there is no problem with consuming it within the qualified range. But the intake of excessive nitrite into the stomach will be combined with protein breakdown products to produce carcinogens nitrosamines, thereby increasing the risk of cancer.

So how much nitrite is in sauerkraut?

The Dad's Review team has conducted experiments in which fresh Chinese cabbage and Shanghai green were selected, and then the nitrite content was measured at each time of day. The results found:

Summary is that the pickled cabbage in the pickling of the second week nitrite content has been reduced to the national standard range, and pickled green vegetables to pickle 35 days before the drop to the national standard range.

Tianjin University of Science and Technology, Food Science and Engineering Professor Wang Hao pointed out that we should not talk about nitrite color, vegetables in the picking itself after the nitrite. If the amount of nitrite in sauerkraut is not excessive, as long as it is not a large number of long-term consumption, do not have to worry about unfavorable health, there is no risk of cancer.

Two, why the older generation often eat pickles pickles, but rarely cancer and high blood pressure?

Sauerkraut pickles high salt, long-term large quantities to eat easy to suffer from high blood pressure and cancer, the old generation in the past because of the poor, often eat sauerkraut and pickles, but very few diseases? The reasons are:

1, the old generation of physical labor

The old generation of people need to work in the fields, a series of physical labor, the body's salt will be constantly discharged with the sweat, but the modern people are often sedentary, exercise exercise is also less, and the loss of salt is also less, salty pickles eat a lot of it is easy to be high blood pressure and other diseases to stare at.

2, the old generation of additional intake of salt less

The old generation of living conditions are relatively poor, can eat a variety of food is also less, the overall salt intake less. But nowadays people can eat more kinds of food, from other ways of additional intake of salt more, such as fried food, a variety of snacks, etc. are hidden a lot of salt, accidentally salt over the limit.

3, the older generation to coarse grains

The older generation to eat coarse grains, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, taro and other food vitamins and potassium content are rich in potassium to help promote the discharge of sodium, so even if the older generation to eat a lot of sauerkraut, the overall salt intake is not high. Modern people, on the other hand, eat mainly fine white rice and noodles, which contain less potassium and are prone to imbalance in potassium and sodium levels. The chances of getting sick are naturally higher.

4, modern people pay more attention to health

Another reason is that people now pay more attention to health, in the past, people rarely take the initiative to go to the hospital to check, now people's health awareness is enhanced, and often will be a regular medical checkups, the discovery of diseases is also very high.

Three, these carcinogens on the table, advise you really want to eat less

2020, the World Health Organization under the International Agency for Research on Cancer released global cancer data show that the world's new cancer cases for 19.29 million people, of which China accounted for 4.57 million people. A study shows that 35%-40% of cancer and poor dietary habits related to the so-called cancer from the mouth, the following 4 kinds of food is clearly pointed out hidden carcinogens, do not want to be stared at by cancer, try to eat less.

Chinese salted fish, which are salted with high salt and exposed to the sun, produce a large amount of nitrites, which may produce carcinogens such as amine nitrite and increase the risk of cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) included Chinese salted fish in its list of "first-degree carcinogens" as early as 2012.

According to statistics, the adult drinking rate in China has reached 22.4%, and regular consumption of alcohol increases the risk of cirrhosis of the liver and even liver cancer, and alcohol is classified as a class 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), so the more you consume, the higher the risk of cancer, and the safest amount of alcohol to drink is zero.

Ham, bacon, bacon and other cured, smoked, air-dried and other processed meat is known as processed meat. 2015 International Agency for Research on Cancer classified processed meat as carcinogenic, processed meat contains a large number of nitrites, nitrites and meat proteins will produce highly carcinogenic nitroso compounds, increasing the risk of The risk of carcinogenicity is increased.

Barbecue is delicious, but the meat is roasted at high temperatures and may produce carcinogens such as benzopyrene, which is classified as a class I carcinogen by the World Cancer Research Institute, so barbecue meat should be eaten sparingly.

Sauerkraut contains nitrites, but if it's within the national regulations, it won't have any effect on health. What you really need to cut down on in general are processed meats, barbecues, Chinese salted fish, and alcohol.
