Can moldy food induce liver cancer? If you want to prevent liver cancer, you must know these common sense

Nowadays, our living conditions are gradually improving, and our diet is getting better and better, but many diseases have also become common diseases, and liver cancer is a very common disease in our lives. There are many causes of disease, and studies have found that moldy food is also one of the causes of disease.

In my country, liver cancer high-incidence areas (such as Qidong, Jiangsu, and Fusui, Guangxi) have been found to have serious aflatoxin contamination in local food; and in Africa, liver cancer high-incidence areas (such as Uganda), investigations have found that local food (such as corn, etc.) is contaminated with aflatoxin. Therefore, epidemiological research evidence shows that aflatoxin contamination in food is closely related to the occurrence of liver cancer.

Scientists in my country have successfully induced liver cancer in rats by feeding them moldy peanuts and corn, which further proves that moldy food can induce liver cancer. The corn, soybeans, peanuts, etc. we eat are easily contaminated by aflatoxin. Long-term consumption of foods containing this toxin is prone to liver cancer.

Aflatoxin contamination of food can occur in multiple links during harvesting, storage and processing. Therefore, the management of these links should be strengthened, such as the storage environment should be dry and ventilated, and the storage time should not be too long. If aflatoxin contamination or mildew is found in food, it should not be eaten.

To prevent liver cancer, we should first pay attention to our diet. If we suffer from liver cancer, the mortality rate of the disease is also very high. In our daily life, we should avoid the onset of the disease and not let the disease affect our lives.
