The harm of eating sausage for a long time
1. Affect kidney development
Eating sausages for a long time will change children's taste habits, and children will gradually like to eat sweet food with special fragrance, but they can't eat it if they eat a small amount. In the long run, it will affect the child's kidney development.
2. Ammonium nitrite is easy to cause cancer
Sausage contains nitrite, which can keep the good color of sausage. If nitrite is left in the body, once it encounters stale eggs, meat and milk, the protein in it will decompose to produce a substance called amine. If nitrite and amine meet in the stomach, nitrite amine will be produced in the acidic environment of gastric acid. Nitrite itself does not cause cancer, but ammonium nitrite causes cancer, which can lead to gastric cancer and esophageal cancer.
Although processed meat products and smoking belong to the same category, it does not mean that they have the same risks. The classification of the International Agency for Research on Cancer refers to the strength of scientific evidence of whether a substance is carcinogenic, not the assessment of risk level. There are about 34,000 cancer deaths worldwide every year, which may be caused by a large number of processed meat products in the diet. In contrast, smoking causes about 1 10,000 cancer deaths worldwide every year.
Many people always ask me about the safe eating of processed meat products such as sausages. In fact, this problem needs to be viewed in this way. According to national standards, the residue of nitrite in meat products should not exceed 30 mg/kg, and the daily allowable intake of human body is 0-0.06 mg/kg body weight. To make another conversion, according to the residue standard and human body limit, an adult weighing 50 kg can consume at most 3 mg of sodium nitrite every day, so the maximum daily intake is 100 g of processed meat products; Converted into ham sausage, the daily consumption should not exceed 2, the less the healthier. Of course, in the process of eating processed meat such as sausages, please eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and use fresh and high-quality vitamin C to inhibit the absorption of nitrite. A food that people can't refuse, a processed meat with a particularly delicious taste; You can eat it, but you must taste it healthily and rationally; Taste on a limited basis, and your health will inevitably become "better".
