Spring is coming, and this guy Toon is starting to show his teeth and claws in the vegetable market again. Mr. Yu is a die-hard fan of toon, and two days ago, his family got him half a catty and came back, scrambled a toon egg, and the house was full of fragrance. As soon as he was happy, he killed most of the dishes at dinner, and he almost licked the plates. But who would have thought that not long after this meal was over, he would have a big deal. That night, he was shivering with cold, his hands and feet were trembling, and he vomited and diarrhea, tossing and turning like a disaster movie. The family saw that something was wrong and rushed him to the hospital. After an examination, the doctor frowned, saying that it was food poisoning, and there was a problem with the liver and kidneys, and he was directly pushed into the ICU for rescue. Fortunately, I finally picked it up.

Do you think this is strange? Just a plate of toon scrambled eggs, why did you almost send people away? The doctor gave the answer: the culprit was nitrite hidden in the toon. There are too many of these things, which can poison people, but Mr. Yu just ate too much and his body couldn't bear it. Our people eat with a fragrant picture, how could we have thought that there is such a "time bomb" behind this fragrance? This can't help but make people wonder, what the hell is going on with this toon? Is it safe to eat it in spring?

In fact, every year at this season, when toons are on the market, all kinds of rumors are also flying. Some people say that it contains nitrite, which can cause cancer if eaten too much; Some people also say that you have to eat toon leisurely, otherwise it is easy to be poisoned. Mr. Yu's experience is here, and it really makes people feel furious when they hear it. How much nitrite is in toon? Is it really that risky to eat normally? Let's talk about this today.

There is a food quality inspection and research institute in Ningbo, which has studied this file. They bought 70 batches of fresh toons from the market and measured the nitrite content. The result? Nitrite sways between 0 and 0 milligrams per kilogram of toon. Doesn't that sound like a lot? Let's take a look at the national standard. According to the "National Food Safety Standard for the Use of Food Additives", nitrite is allowed to be added to meat products, and the maximum residue is 0 to 0 mg per kilogram. Take this as a comparison, the content in the toon is not half a star, it is simply a "big over-standard".

The study was not finished, but they tried the effects of different practices on nitrite. Wash and blanch the toon for two minutes, and the nitrite can be removed by more than ninety percent, which is basically safe. But if you fry it directly, the content is still 300.0 to 0 mg per kilogram, put it cold for 0 minutes, 0.0 to 0.0 mg per kg, and marinate it is even more exaggerated, 0 mg per kg per kilogram to run up. Except for blanching, no other method has been able to reduce nitrite to the point of reassurance. Mr. Yu's plate of toon scrambled eggs, it is estimated that there is no blanching, and it is directly put into the pot, the nitrite exceeds the standard too much, and the body naturally can't bear it.

Now you understand, it's not that toons can't be eaten, but you have to pay attention to how to eat them. Blanching for two minutes is simple and practical, and the nitrite runs clean, and it is solid to eat. Don't bother, it's a life-saving trick. Mr. Yu had known this trick earlier, and he wouldn't have walked through the ICU.

Speaking of which, let's talk about other vegetables. Are the green guys who are usually seen in the vegetable basket really so "poisonous" as rumored to be? There are always some sayings on the Internet, which are so scared that people don't dare to put down chopsticks. For example, bracken, some people say that it is classified as a class 30B carcinogen by the International Agency for Cancer, and there is something called protofern in it that is a class 0 carcinogen. When you hear the word "cancer", who doesn't beat the drum in your heart? But in fact, category 0B is said to be carcinogenic to animals, and there is not enough evidence for humans; Category 0 is even less alarming, and even animal experiments are not convincing. Scientists have tried mice and found that they can live for 0 months after eating bracken. For adults, it may be a bit risky to have to eat 0 to 0 years in a row. Who do you say can eat bracken for 0 years? Unless you eat it as food, you are completely blind.

There is also folded ear root, also known as Houttuynia cordata, which contains aristolochic acid on the Internet, which can cause cancer if eaten too much. This sounds quite bluffing, but you can check it out and know that there is aristolochine lactam in the root of the folded ear, which is not the same thing as aristolochic acid at all. For example, one is a tiger and the other is a rabbit. If you love to eat folded ear roots, don't worry about gnawing it, there is no risk.

Hongfengcai also lay down and said that it has pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which hurt the liver and cause cancer. It's a bit hepatotoxic, but there's no evidence of carcinogenesis at all. The amount of daily food is nothing compared to the toxins produced by frying and barbecue. Afraid of poison? Stir-fried over high heat, the toxicity has long run out.

The rumors of "carcinogenic" of these vegetables are untenable when examined in detail. But there are really a few dishes, so you need to be careful. Pickles are a prime example. According to a study in BMC Medicine, people who eat pickles for more than 45 days a week have a 0% higher risk of death from digestive tract cancer and 0% higher risk of esophageal cancer. This is not only scaring people, there are many nitrates in pickles, and the gastric mucosa is irritated, and it is really easy to have problems after a long time. Mr. Yu's poisoning is a bit similar to this, it is all nitrite to blame.

You have to talk about hot dishes. The dish is steaming hot, so don't rush to eat it above 65 degrees. The mucous membranes of the mouth and esophagus are very delicate, and the high temperature is hot, and the wound? If you save too much, chronic inflammation will come, and the risk of esophageal cancer will naturally increase. Let's eat food comfortably, but don't burn it.

What about overnight dishes? Left overnight, the nitrite salt content rubbed up. It's not a big deal to eat once in a while, but it's not good to eat it all the time, and digestive tract cancer is staring at you. Don't throw away leftovers, pour them out if you can't finish eating, health is worth more money than saving money.

There is also a high oil temperature stir-fry, the oil is smoked before it is cooked, and there are a lot of bad things hidden in the smoke. Not to mention the high content of carcinogens, it can also hurt the lungs if you smoke too much. Smart people heat the pan with cold oil, and it is not harmful to fry it fragrantly.

You see, vegetables are healthy, but if you don't eat them in the right way, you can really dig a hole for yourself. Nitrite sounds scary, but it's actually a legal food additive. As long as you control the amount, don't be greedy, and your body can bear it. Mr. Yu has learned a lesson this time, so we have to learn smarter.

Speaking of which, I want to ask everyone, how do you fry toons at home? Have you tried blanching for two minutes? Don't underestimate this little effort, it may be worse here. We Chinese pay attention to "eating and drinking well", but safety must also be put first. After all, no one wants to "travel" around the hospital like Mr. Yu because of a dish.

Right now, it's the time of season for toons, and the market is full. It's inexpensive, it's delicious, and it's no wonder everyone loves it. But as soon as this incident came out, it is estimated that many people will have to weigh it. The toon is delicious and delicious, but you have to take it leisurely, and there is one more process before eating, so as to feel at ease. Mr. Yu is a wake-up call for us this time, health is not a sloppy thing.

To put it further, Chinese love to eat vegetables, how good this habit is. There are always people in the world who think that our food culture is simple, but you see, just a small dish of toon can study so many doorways. Aren't those researchers in Ningbo quite powerful? The nitrite content of the toon was clearly measured, and we were told how to eat it safely. This is not only science, but also concern for the lives of ordinary people. The food safety research in our country is getting more and more detailed, and the results are placed here, which makes people feel confident.

Now, a few days after Mr. Yu was discharged from the hospital, I heard that he was able to walk around the ground. The family is estimated to be scared, and the toon doesn't want to be on the table for the time being. But this matter is over, and the days have to be lived. Spring is still growing, and there are a lot of fresh things in the vegetable market. Whether it's eating toon, or trying something else, remember the trick of blanching, and don't let nitrite get into the loophole. What do you say, do you have to have more eyes when it comes to eating? Next time you buy groceries, what will you choose?
