fruits contain rich nutrients, such as various vitamins, minerals, trace elements, etc., which can supplement the body's needs and can also bring it to the body.
In recent years, there have been more and more sayings about fruits. Some people say that some fruits are waxed and cannot be eaten when ripening them. Eating them will cause great harm to the body. Is this statement true or false?

These three fruits have been included in the "carcinogenic list". Is it true?
People are afraid of cancer when it comes to cancer, because cancer can cause great harm to the body and even threaten people's lives. Now all kinds of foods are labeled as cancer-causing, so many people usually dare not buy them. Is this food really carcinogenic?
. Ripe banana
We know that the shelf life of bananas turns yellow is very short, so when bananas are picked, they are usually green, and they will only become ripe when they are picked.
Many people believe that the reason why it turns from light to yellow is because a lot of harmful substances are added, that is, after ripening, bananas become carcinogenic. There is no scientific basis for the statement of
. As a support, it was indeed not fully mature when it came to the next time. can prevent damage during transportation and storage.
Want to make bananas edible, can choose ethylene for ripening, This is a plant growth regulator , which is relatively safe and can promote the ripening of fruits. It is more commonly used in banana mango fruits.
When a banana naturally ripens, it will also produce a lot of ethylene . Use ethylene for unripe bananas. This can allow the emitted ethylene gas and banana to ripen. Some endogenous ethylene will also be produced inside the banana. During the whole process, chemicals that are harmful to the body will not be produced, nor will it be carcinogenic.
. Waxed apple
I believe many people have discovered this situation when buying apples. When scraping apples, they will find that there are some white substances on the surface of the apples, So many people say that eating apples is eating wax, which brings great harm to the body.
Apple itself secretes a layer of wax, but this layer is relatively weak and is generally difficult to distinguish. Moreover, after picking it from the apple tree, it takes a lot of processes to reach the hands of consumers, and the wax secreted by itself will also be damaged.
In order to prevent the apple from losing moisture or being infected, and to keep the apple for longer, many people choose to wax it on the apple.
waxing substances comply with national standards. If for this taste, can be peeled and then used , so there is no need to worry about it causing cancer to the body.
. Frozen fruit
Many people say that if the fruit is frozen, the content of nitrite will greatly increase and enter the body and produce a certain carcinogenicity. Is this true?
If the fruit is frozen to produce nitrite, this statement is actually unreliable, because the content of nitrate in the fruit is relatively low, and even if can be converted into nitrite, the content is relatively low.
However, frozen fruits contain less nutritional value than fresh fruits, because cells will also be destroyed during the freezing process, causing moisture, and runs into the gap to cause dehydration of the fruit.Although
does not cause cancer, it does have hidden dangers for food safety and cannot guarantee the internal environment in the refrigerator. If you eat some fruits infected by bacteria, diarrhea is prone to occur.

The real risk of cancer is moldy fruit
If many fruits will become moldy and rot within a few days due to improper storage, many people feel that it is a pity to throw them away like this. chooses to remove the moldy part in time and continue to use the rest.
In fact, this method is not advisable, because after the fruit becomes moldy, a large amount of mold has been produced inside, and the unchanged part has been cut off. Although we cannot see the others with the naked eye, there is also the possibility of being contaminated.
The rotten fruit is likely to contain aflatoxin . This substance has certain toxicity and carcinogenic effects. A small amount may lead to poisoning, such as diarrhea, nausea and other discomfort symptoms. If it is serious, it may also cause cancer.
