Recently, I saw a study in a scientific sub-journal.

The study said

Some compounds in processed food

Will increase the risk of chronic kidney disease.

as the name implies

processed food

Is to process food through processing.

Most processed foods

It's delicious.

Because during processing or heating,

Produced a Maillard reaction.

Will make the food more fragrant and delicious.

Usually this kind of reaction is harmless to human body.

However, when some manufacturers process food,

Will deliberately increase the heating time and various ingredients.

Enhanced Maillard reaction

Long time high temperature heating

Will increase the amount of food

Reaction of amino acid and reducing sugar mixture

Let it produce a harmful compound

-Advanced glycation end products (AGE)

This was mentioned at the beginning of the study.

Compounds that increase the risk of chronic diseases

The researchers divided the mice into two groups.

Normal diet group and heat treatment diet group

After feeding for 24 weeks, it was found that

Heat treated mice in diet group

Renal function is worse.

This is because food is heat-treated.

Has the following hazards:

After heating the mouse food for 60 minutes,

Will increase Nε- carboxymethyl lysine (CML),

ε-carboxyethyl lysine (CEL) and fructosamine.

Advanced glycation end products content

After eating, it will increase the burden on the kidneys and cause harm.

study found

Heat-processed food induces albumin to penetrate into urine.

Five times higher than the unbaked control group.

This will make the kidneys over-filter.

Kidney damage gradually appeared.

Excessive renal filtration can also lead to

Increased creatinine clearance rate

And morphological changes of glomerulus.

These are the characteristics of early chronic kidney disease.

Hot processed foods can also cause

Increased tubulointerstitial dilatation

Cause extracellular matrix components

Deposited in renal tubular space

And activate transforming growth factor -β 1(TGF-β 1).

Causing renal tubular fibrosis

In addition to activating transforming growth factor

Hot processed foods can also induce innate immune complement activation.

Through the proinflammatory effector molecule complement 5a(C5a)

Leading to local kidney inflammation and injury.

1. Eat less or not.

If you would just shut up.

That's certainly the best

This is the key to reducing physical injury.

2. Distinguish between processed foods

Learn to read the ingredient list

Try to choose low salt, low sugar and low fat.

The lower the content of these ingredients, the lower the AGE content.

The less harm it does to our health.

If you can't read the ingredient list,

There is also a fool-like identification method.

Look at the ingredient list when shopping. The simpler the ingredients, the better.

balanced diet

Of course, many friends are still greedy.

Cann't help eating.

People who often eat processed food.

You can eat more of this food.

The researchers found that foods containing highly resistant starch

Can reduce the harm of processed food to us.

For example:
