Can zucchini stir-fried cause cancer? It's the wrong way of your frying! - DayDayNews

Fried zucchini is best cut into pieces and not sliced ​​

It has been rumored on the Internet that “frying zucchini can cause cancer”. The reason is that stir-fried vegetables contain high carcinogen acrylamide, and fried zucchini produces The amount of acrylamide is second only to French fries and potato chips. So can fried zucchini cause cancer?

Nutrition experts said that the so-called carcinogenicity of fried zucchini, the problem is not the zucchini, but the frying.

Acrylamide was confirmed as a secondary carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization. The American Cancer Society pointed out that as long as it is cooked at a high temperature above 120°C, trace amounts of acrylamide will be produced. Acrylamide is widely present in various fried, grilled and baked foods, such as stir-fry, barbecue, French fries, etc., all have different proportions of acrylamide.

However, the hazard cannot be discussed without the dose. A study in the international academic journal "Food and Chemical Toxicology" pointed out that a daily intake of more than 7.5 kg of fried zucchini will cause cancer.

Do not stir-fry zucchini on high heat, but stir-fry on low heat. Pay attention to control the temperature in the pan. Try not to cut the zucchini into thin slices before frying, because the thinner the heat is faster, the easier it is to release acrylamide. It is best to cut the zucchini into larger pieces.
