Because of noodles, the family of six has Leukemia ?
Xiao Ai recently saw a news online that a family came to the hospital for dizziness and vomiting, and all of them were diagnosed with leukemia. The doctor speculated that it was related to the noodles they ate containing a lot of formaldehyde .
How can a good noodles contain formaldehyde? The reason is that in order to extend the shelf life of fresh noodles, some merchants will secretly add formaldehyde with anticorrosion. The authenticity of this news is unknown, but there are still operations on the market to add formaldehyde to fresh noodles.
1. Fresh noodles will not break after being put for a long time, is formaldehyde added?
Formaldehyde We often hear that it exists in decoration materials. I never thought that ingredients that are often eaten may also be added with formaldehyde?
Formaldehyde is clearly classified by WHO on the list of carcinogens . It is recognized as the source of allergic reactions . It ranks second on the list of toxic chemicals in my country. The common preservative " formalin " is actually 35%-40% of formaldehyde solution . This solvent can kill bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, and is often used for preservation of cadavers and specimens.
Formaldehyde is very harmful to the human body. Inhaling formaldehyde alone will cause mucosal irritation, edema, eye sting, cough, etc. If it is directly in contact, it may cause skin allergies, itching, redness and swelling.
First of all, we need to determine that the noodles themselves contain natural formaldehyde, This is mainly the natural formaldehyde contained in flour . In addition to flour, fruits, vegetables, aquatic products, etc. all have natural formaldehyde, but the content is very low , which has no effect on the human body.
Of course, there is also the act of merchants adding formaldehyde to the noodles, which is an illegal act. The official "List of non-edible substances and food additives that may be illegally added in food" contains formaldehyde and is prohibited from using it for food processing. In 2016, Yulin , a fresh noodle shop was sentenced to one year for adding formaldehyde to noodles.
2. As ordinary people, how do we tell whether the noodles are added with formaldehyde?
Fresh noodles have a short shelf life. In order to save costs, illegal merchants will add formaldehyde to extend its shelf life. But it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. So how do consumers judge formaldehyde noodles?
Ordinary fresh noodles generally have only one shelf life, and can be stored in the refrigerator for two days. If not eaten in time, they will generally become acidic and spoiled the next day. Formaldehyde noodles are usually stored for three or four days without any problem.
Ordinary noodles are easy to cook, and the noodles have a soft texture and floury aroma. It is not easy to cook noodles with formaldehyde, and it is very tough and not easy to break.
Of course, it is not very reliable after all, by relying on one's own identification. After all, some processes can slightly extend the shelf life of fresh noodles by adding salt. It is recommended that everyone buy it from formal channels. Regular channels are subject to strong supervision. In order to control products, the brand will also strictly control it, and the possibility of adding harmful ingredients will be smaller.
3. Is eating noodles for a long time good or bad for your health?
Low-quality Carbohydrate is actually a food with a high glycemic index. is a food that is quickly digested and has a high absorption rate after being eaten, which can lead to a rapid increase in blood sugar. . Noodles, white rice, and white flour buns are all low-quality carbohydrates.Is eating noodles often good for your health?
The New England Journal of Medicine published a study related to the high glycemic index diet, namely low-quality carbohydrate. The study included 140,000 participants aged 35-70 worldwide, with a follow-up time of 9.5 years. Through a questionnaire, it was found that among the participants with cardiovascular disease, the risk of cardiovascular events in the hyperglycemia index diet increased by 50%; this proportion increased by 20% in the general population.
That is to say, eating low-quality carbohydrates often may increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as .
Many people eat noodles, There are many noodles and few side dishes, so it is difficult to achieve balanced nutrition . It is recommended that everyone should pay attention to matching and intake of sufficient dietary fiber when eating noodles. For example, when cooking noodles, it is best to pair them with vegetables, meat and eggs, which can avoid the lack of nutrients and affect your health. If other foods in the recipe contain enough dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, the overall food's glycemic index can also be lower through reasonable combinations.
4. If these situations occur in noodles, try to eat less fresh noodles purchased through regular channels. You can eat them with confidence, but eating too much of these noodles may be harmful to health and should be corrected in time.
Moldy can produce Aflatoxin , which is a carcinogenic substance that has a direct damage effect on the human body. We can see moldy with the naked eye, which is already the part of the hyphae of mold mycelium. However, the part that cannot be seen with the naked eye may already have many molds, but the naked eye cannot accurately judge the degree of spread, so it is not possible to throw away moldy noodles that are visible to the naked eye.
The weather is getting colder, so a bowl of hot noodles will warm your heart and stomach. But in fact, the human oral and esophagus are heat-resistant. Eating too hot noodles will cause irritation to the oral and esophageal mucosa and easily burned . Occasionally burn, the mucous membrane can repair itself, but if it is repeated for a long time, it will increase the chance of adverse repair and make it possible to become cancerous.
For diabetic patients, it is not advisable to eat too soft noodles. noodles are too soft and rotten, and the digestion speed will also be accelerated, which can easily cause blood sugar reactions. glycemic index also increases accordingly. On the contrary, chewy noodles can help slow digestion and be more conducive to blood sugar control.
Noodles themselves are not cancerous, but since fresh noodles are not stored for a long time, it is recommended to eat them on the same day. When eating noodles, you should also pay attention to choosing a cooking method with less oil and less salt. At the same time, it can match vegetables, eggs, meat, etc. to meet the nutritional needs of the human body while also enjoying delicious food. #组合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合� Learn how to distinguish it quickly.
