Which snacks are likely to cause liver cancer in children? To prevent liver cancer, let your children eat less of these

Unhealthy snacks that cause children to develop liver cancer

1. Instant noodles

A pack of instant noodles can contain up to 25 kinds of food additives, the most common of which are monosodium glutamate, caramel color, citric acid, tertiary butylhydroquinone, etc. Children who consume products containing citric acid for a long time may suffer from hypocalcemia.

2. Ham

The additives contained include sodium nitrite, potassium sorbate, etc. Among them, sodium nitrite may generate carcinogenic nitrosamines in the body.

3. Jelly

Potassium sorbate, citric acid and carrageenan are the most commonly used additives. Excessive intake of potassium sorbate can cause allergic reactions and affect children's absorption of calcium.

4. Cookies

The additives include sodium metabisulfite, citric acid, and sorbitol. Large amounts of sodium metabisulfite can damage cells and are biologically toxic.

5. Potato chips

Possible additives include monosodium glutamate, disodium 5'-guanylate, etc. Both of the above are prohibited from being used in infant food.

Ginsenoside Rh2 induces the proliferation of liver cancer cells

Many experimental documents have confirmed that ginsenoside Rh2 has a significant differentiation-inducing effect against liver cancer cell SMMC-7721:

1. The induction and differentiation effect of telomerase-producing ginsenoside Rh2 on liver cancer cell SMMC-7721

The telomerase activity of SMMC-7721 cells treated with ginsenoside Rh2 was measured by TRAp-pCR-ELISA. After 1 day, the telomerase activity decreased from 1.105 to 0.765; after 5 days, the activity decreased from 1.152 to 0.326 (p<0.01). Ginsenoside Rh2 increased the number of cells in the G1 phase and decreased the number of cells in the S phase and G2/M phase; at the same time, it could also induce the expression of cell cycle inhibitors CyclinD1 and CyclinE.

2. The induction effect of ginsenoside Rh2 on the differentiation of liver cancer cells SMCC-7721

Immunohistochemistry and ELISA were used to detect the synthesis of alpha-fetoprotein (ApF) in the cytoplasm, enzymatic reaction kits were used to detect the activities of alkaline phosphatase (ALp) and y-glutamyl transpeptidase in the cytoplasm, and radioimmunoassay was used to detect the secretion of cellular AFp and albumin (Alb). It was found that ginsenoside Rh2 had an effect on all of the above indicators.

"Many young people are overnourished, obese, do not eat in the morning, overeat at night, and like to sleep in. These are all risk factors." Therefore, it can be seen that there is a certain probability that "unhealthy eating habits" are related to liver cancer, but it is also very necessary and important to do a good job in preventing liver cancer, and special attention should be paid to diet.
