A family of three ate homemade wontons for a long time, and all of them were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer? The wife cried: I was wrong

Not long ago, I received a heartbreaking family - a once happy family of three, but now they are in endless pain due to the shadow of pancreatic cancer. The wife's tears seem to still flash in front of my eyes. Her husband and son, the two most important people in her life, were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer one after another. The fate of this family seemed to be ruthlessly changed in an instant. "Doctor, is it because of me?" Her voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes were full of self-blame. "We eat wontons made by me every week. Is there something wrong with that?" I took a deep breath, and the heaviness in my heart was like a boulder pressing on my chest. Pancreatic cancer, this demon hidden deep in the human body, always comes so suddenly, but it is closely related to our living habits. In this family, long-term eating habits may be the key factor in causing this tragedy. "We need to investigate in depth and find out the truth." I tried my best to comfort her, and at the same time, I made up my mind deep in my heart that I must uncover this mystery. As the investigation deepened, we gradually uncovered an astonishing fact: the family used a large amount of unfiltered homemade lard in the process of making wontons.

This kind of lard produces a large amount of carcinogens - polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons - during long-term high-temperature cooking.

These harmful substances are the main reasons why they suffer from pancreatic cancer.

"It was my fault. I didn't realize it." The lady's voice was filled with endless regret.

After learning that her family's illness was related to the lard in the homemade wontons, she felt deeply guilty, but at the same time she realized that self-blame was useless and that what was more important was to take action and change the status quo.

With my encouragement and support, she began to actively learn about healthy eating, adjusted her family's diet structure, reduced the intake of greasy and high-fat foods, and increased the proportion of fresh vegetables and fruits.

She also began to pay attention to food safety and learned how to handle food properly to avoid similar tragedies from happening again.

She devoted all her efforts to the treatment of her husband and son.

She accompanied them through chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and although the process was difficult, she always believed that as long as there was hope, they should not give up.

Her strength and optimism also infected her family, giving them more strength to face the challenges during the treatment process.

In the journey of life, we may all encounter unexpected storms.

But it is these storms that shape our resilience and teach us how to take better care of ourselves and others.

This woman's story tells us that even in the darkest moments, as long as we face it bravely and make positive changes, we can always find a way to the light.

Let us remember her story, cherish our health, care for our families, and work together to create a better future.

As a doctor, I am well aware of the importance of health education.

So I decided to write this article, hoping to let more people understand how important healthy eating habits are in preventing cancer.

Here, I want to tell you that the prevention of pancreatic cancer is not complicated. The key lies in our daily diet and lifestyle habits.

The following suggestions may help you stay away from this invisible killer:

Reduce the intake of high-fat foods: Long-term intake of high-fat foods will increase the burden on the pancreas and increase the risk of pancreatic cancer. Vegetable oils should be selected and the total intake of fats should be controlled.

Increase your intake of fruits and vegetables: Vegetables and fruits are rich in antioxidants and other nutrients that help fight the formation of cancer cells.

Avoid high-temperature cooking: High-temperature cooking will produce carcinogens. Try to use low-temperature cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, and stewing.

Drink in moderation: Excessive drinking can damage the pancreas and increase the risk of pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer.

Quit smoking: Smoking is a major risk factor for many cancers, including pancreatic cancer.

Regular physical examinations: Especially those with a family history should undergo regular pancreas-related examinations.

A healthy lifestyle is our best weapon against disease.

Let us start today, take responsibility for the health of ourselves and our families, and stay away from the threat of pancreatic cancer.

In further research, we found that in addition to dietary habits, the incidence of pancreatic cancer is also related to many other factors.

For example, genetic factors play an important role.

People with a family history of pancreatic cancer have a much higher risk of developing the disease than the average person.

In addition, diseases such as chronic pancreatitis and diabetes are also high-risk factors for pancreatic cancer.

However, regardless of genetic background, healthy lifestyle habits are always the first line of defense against pancreatic cancer.

As the wife reflected, a small eating habit may be the key to changing your destiny.

As a doctor, I feel a great sense of responsibility. I hope that through this true story, I can arouse the public's attention to the prevention of pancreatic cancer. Let us act together, pay attention to our eating habits, improve our lifestyles, and have regular health checks to build a solid fortress against pancreatic cancer. In this challenging era, each of us may face a health storm. But as long as we have the right knowledge and a firm will, we can stand firm in this storm and protect the health of ourselves and our families. Let us move forward hand in hand to welcome every healthy tomorrow.
