Be careful of liver cancer if you eat spoiled food! Symptoms of liver cancer are mostly indigestion

Everyone knows that spoiled food is bad for the body and may even induce liver cancer. However, some middle-aged and elderly people still have the habit of eating spoiled food. Moldy food contains a substance called aflatoxin, which is currently clearly considered to be a carcinogenic substance. Aflatoxin is also an auxiliary cause of liver cancer. Liver cancer patients should be vigilant and never eat moldy food. Cooked foods such as rice, peanuts, corn, grain-processed cakes, rice, steamed buns, etc. are prone to mold. These foods should not be stored in humid places as much as possible. They should be stored in a cool, ventilated, clean and hygienic place. They should not be stored for too long. Whether the food is moldy can be judged by color, texture and smell.

Some people also believe that part of spoiled food can be eaten. This is inappropriate. The "unrotten part" has been soaked in various harmful substances produced by the metabolism of microorganisms that are invisible to the naked eye. When the temperature reaches a certain level, mold and other microorganisms will multiply and produce toxic substances, which are harmful to human health. Frequent consumption of food contaminated by mold can cause liver cancer in the eater. Only by controlling the hygiene and health of personal diet on a daily basis can we improve our physical fitness and reduce the occurrence of diseases. Be alert to the harm of moldy food and stay away from liver cancer.

It can be seen from this that people must be cautious when dealing with spoiled food. It is best to throw it all away and not eat it. This is a very important cause of liver cancer. If the elderly at home have such a habit, it is necessary to explain the harm of doing so to the elderly and cultivate good eating habits.
