"It's a Group 1 carcinogen"... Foods that are bad for your health

“It’s a Group 1 carcinogen”... What are the effects of continuing to enjoy unhealthy foods?

There was once a huge uproar when a Group 2 carcinogen was found in a certain food product. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), under the World Health Organization (WHO), classifies carcinogens that cause cancer into Groups 1 through 3. Group 1 substances are those that are 'certain' to cause cancer in humans. Group 2 substances are those with 'probability' or 'possibility.' However, there are things that people cannot quit even though they know full well that they are Group 1 carcinogens. Tobacco, alcohol, and processed meat are prime examples.

alcohol , Like cigarette fine dust 1 Military carcinogen ...“ Why are you so generous? ?”

 

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies hundreds of types of food as carcinogens. Alcohol and tobacco, along with fine dust, are classified as Group 1 carcinogens (carcinogenic to humans). Group 2A consists of substances that are "probably" likely to cause cancer, while Group 2B comprises over 300 substances that are "possibly" likely. Group 3 includes substances whose carcinogenicity cannot be classified. Among those who react sensitively even to minute amounts of carcinogens, there are cases where they remain lenient toward alcohol and tobacco.

 

Cancer prevention guidelines in Europe and Korea emphasize that there is no safe limit to alcohol when it comes to cancer. In other words, there is no such thing as a 'moderate' amount of drinking that is good for the body.

ham , sausage , bacon ... colorectal cancer , Increased risk of stomach cancer 1 Military carcinogen

 

The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies processed meat as a Group 1 carcinogen. This includes ham, sausage, and bacon. Reports from the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research (WCRF-AICR) also classify processed meat consumption as a "convincing" factor that increases the risk of colorectal cancer. Excessive consumption of processed meat is reported to increase the risk of stomach cancer as well as colorectal cancer.

Carcinogens such as N-nitroso compounds, heterocyclic amines, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PHAs) are produced during the processing and smoking of meat. Consuming large amounts of these carcinogens frequently causes mutations in normal cells, leading to the development of cancer. In particular, benzopyrene, a powerful carcinogen, is generated during the meat smoking process, causing cancer cells to form in the gastric mucosa and promoting the development of gastric cancer. Furthermore, nitrates contained in preservatives, sweeteners, and colorings in processed foods are converted into nitrites by bacteria to produce nitrosoamines, which are powerful carcinogens that contribute to the development of gastric cancer.

 

I ate freshwater fish raw. ...B Brother and C Hepatitis 1 Military carcinogen

 

Pathogens classified as Group 1 carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer include hepatitis B and C viruses, human papillomavirus (HPV), Helicobacter pylori, liver flukes (Clonorchis sinensis), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It is particularly important to keep in mind that hepatitis B and C account for approximately 70% of the causes of liver cancer. Prolonged liver fluke infection can lead to gallbladder and biliary tract cancer. Eating raw freshwater fish increases the risk of liver fluke infection. It must be cooked thoroughly to ensure safety.

 

In the past, we used to boil meat to eat. ... You should refrain from grilling meat until it burns.

 

Eating processed meat grilled over an open flame increases the risk of developing cancer. This is because the burning process of meat or processed meat produces more carcinogens, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PHAs) and benzopyrene.

 

The fact that colorectal cancer, once rare, now ranks first or second in the overall cancer incidence rankings in Korea is due to the decline in the dietary habit of eating boiled meat. The consumption of meat broth during meals has also decreased. To prevent colorectal cancer, it is advisable to eat meat in the form of boiled meat as in the past and to refrain from the habit of grilling meat until it burns.


===============
 
If the intake of saturated fat, which is high in meat, increases
The risk of colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and breast cancer is increasing.
In particular, burnt meat produces carcinogens.
 
Grilling over a gas flame tastes good, but
For some reason, meat tastes and smells different when grilled over charcoal.
 
However, if you grill over charcoal
I think it's always bound to happen.
I cut it with scissors and eat it well, but
You should be careful about eating the burnt parts.
