Is it true that eating snail powder often causes cancer?
In fact, long-term consumption of snail powder will increase the risk of cancer, but occasionally eating a small amount does not have to worry too much. In fact, the real harm of eating snail powder for a long time lies in high salt and heavy taste. First of all, it may hide parasites and bacteria. The most important ingredient in snail powder is snail, which is the main ingredient to provide delicious soup base. Screw meat can also be used as an ingredient to be added to cooked rice noodles together with peanuts and sour bamboo shoots. Snails generally grow in lakes, paddy fields and streams, which may cause many parasites and bacteria on snails. If these parasites are not killed in the cooking process, they may be harmful to human health, and it is difficult to clean the screws, so there is no way to completely ensure their cleanliness. Secondly, there are a lot of nitrite. Sour bamboo shoots are pickled food, and nitrite will be produced after bacterial fermentation. Nitrite is a carcinogen, and regular consumption of food containing this substance will increase the risk of cancer. Finally, snail powder has a heavy taste, which will increase the burden on the stomach. The collection of spicy and sour fresh snail powder once became the favorite of people with heavy tastes, but its stimulation to the stomach should not be underestimated.
Some netizens said that although snail powder is delicious, the powder that real Guangxi people eat every day is different from the bagged powder we bought.
The powder eaten by local people in Guangxi is not so strong, and many side dishes are added, so the nutrition is more balanced.
All the online purchases are heavy oil and salt, and the ingredients are too heavy in pursuit of taste. If you eat this snail powder for a long time, you will definitely find that you have high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia.
What is the harm of eating snail powder often?
1, prone to esophageal and gastrointestinal diseases.
Generally speaking, when eating snail powder, the temperature of snail powder reaches above 70 degrees. This temperature will cause severe burns to the oral esophagus and gastric mucosa.
Therefore, after eating snail powder, many people will feel some burning sensation or burning sensation in the mouth, esophagus and stomach, which is the symptom reaction after the mucosa of these parts is burned.
2, affect the health of blood vessels and kidneys.
Snail powder has a strong taste, and there are many seasonings such as spicy salt. Once a large amount of snail powder is eaten for a long time, too much salt will not only affect the health of gastrointestinal tract, but also increase the content of sodium ions in blood vessels, which will easily lead to water and sodium retention.
It will cause the blood vessel wall to bear too high pressure, which will lead to an increase in blood pressure. Moreover, snail powder contains a lot of oil components, which will increase the viscosity of blood for a long time, and it is prone to hyperlipidemia, or it will form some thrombosis and atherosclerosis.
In addition, many people will be extremely thirsty after eating snail powder, so they will drink plenty of water. This will increase the burden on the kidneys.
Moreover, due to the increase of sodium ion intake in the body, renal function is affected, and the probability of a series of kidney diseases will be particularly high.
3, leading to malnutrition in the body
Snail powder contains a lot of salt and fat, and it is also high in calories. However, it contains very low nutrients, only some carbohydrates and a very small amount of protein.
Eating snail powder occasionally will not lead to lack of nutrition in the body, but taking snail powder as the staple food for a long time will lead to lack of a large number of vitamins, dietary fiber, high-quality protein, folic acid, calcium, iron and other nutrients in the body.
It will lead to severe malnutrition, lead to insufficient nutritional support of various organs, and easily reduce the function, thus endangering human health.
