Can eating raw fish also cause liver cancer? Eating 7 kinds of fish raw can easily cause liver cancer

Dr. Chamonzo, director of the Cambodian National Center for Parasites, Insects and Malaria Control, said on the 26th that the agency and Japanese researchers have found through collaborative research that eating seven local fish species raw can cause liver cancer.

Shocking! Eating 7 kinds of fish raw can easily cause liver cancer

According to the person in charge, the seven fish are the Indian round-lipped fish, the helmet round-lipped fish, the oblique round-lipped fish and four other carp fish. These fish are distributed in the Tonle Sap River and the Mekong River in Southeast Asia and are freshwater fish that local residents often eat.

Chamenzo said that researchers recently discovered a parasite in these fish - the liver fluke. The harmful substance synthesized by the parasite can inhibit the normal death of human cells and induce tumor growth, leading to liver cancer in humans.

Experts point out that eating these fish raw or pickling and fermenting them according to local methods may cause liver flukes to enter the human body and parasitize. The simplest prevention method is to eat only cooked fish.

Mut Sinwan, director of the research institute's national intestinal disease prevention and control program, said that eating these fish raw has induced liver cancer not only in Cambodia, but also in Laos, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand.

Eating pickled vegetables and fish sauce frequently may lead to stomach cancer

People's living conditions are better now, but many bad eating habits are still difficult to change, such as strong taste and love of pickled food. Residents of Changle City in Fujian Province in southern my country are used to pickling seafood, especially fish sauce, shrimp paste and other condiments. This place is a "well-known" high-incidence area of ​​gastric cancer in the country.

In addition, residents in Zhuanghe City, Liaoning Province, Linqu County, Shandong Province, and Zanhuang County, Hebei Province have a habit of eating salted pork for a long time. It is worth noting that salted foods contain a lot of salt, which can directly damage the gastric mucosa, and the nitrite contained in them will be converted into nitrosamines under the action of gastric acid and bacteria, which is more likely to cause gastric cancer.
