There are seven major dangers of eating barbecue:

1. Most of the amino acids in meat will decompose and undergo genetic mutations during the heating process. These amino acids will produce carcinogens after genetic mutations. Long-term consumption may cause gastric cancer, Bowel cancer, etc.

2. A large amount of pungent gases such as oil smoke will be produced in the barbecue environment. Inhaling these gases is more harmful to the human body than smoking.

3. Barbecue is to grill raw meat and lettuce over a fire. It is inevitable that the outside will be cooked but the inside will not be cooked. Eating this type of food may lead to infection with parasites.

4. Roasting food directly on the fire will destroy or change vitamins and proteins, seriously affecting the intake of vitamins and proteins. Long-term consumption of barbecued food is not conducive to the absorption and utilization of nutrients.

5. Barbecued food tends to be hot and dry, and the addition of a large amount of chili, cumin and other seasonings can easily hinder the secretion of digestive juices, damage the mucosa of the digestive tract, and easily cause people to get angry.

6. Many meats that are over-smoked and grilled can cause problems with calcium metabolism in the human body, seriously affecting children's vision and leading to myopia.

7. Barbeque foods contain high amounts of oil, fat, and calories. Long-term consumption can lead to the occurrence of diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and fatty liver.

The hot summer is here, and the business of roadside barbecue stalls is getting more and more prosperous. Many people eat skewers and drink draft beer here to relieve the boredom and heat during the day. Although barbecue is delicious, don’t ignore its dangers and learn to eat healthily.

Be sure to pay attention to the proportion of meat and vegetables. The main dish of barbecue must be meat, so it is easy to overdose. When ordering, you should pay attention to the proper combination of meat and vegetables. A healthy ratio should be 7 parts meat and 3 parts vegetables. If you eat turkey and Brazilian barbecue, be sure to pair it with a salad. The salad contains corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, lettuce and pineapple, which can effectively supplement various vitamins. When eating Korean or European BBQ, order vegetables such as onions, green peppers, potatoes, and mushrooms.

And use less open fire and more stewing. Korean barbecue and Brazilian barbecue are open flame barbecues; Turkish barbecue and European barbecue are fruit wood braised barbecues. During open flame barbecue, the fat in the meat drips on the fire, which will produce a carcinogen called "benzopyrene". Stewing not only does not produce carcinogens, but also retains more of the nutrients of the ingredients.
