A couple found liver cancer. These two fruits are the bane and have been included in the ＂cancer blacklist＂.

Xiaonan and Xiaomei run a fruit shop. They want to earn more money, but they don’t want to waste unsold fruits, so they often cut off some bad fruits and eat them themselves.

However, these seemingly good fruits are the main cause of their liver cancer.

Fruit is an essential part of our daily diet.

Fruits are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which can provide the nutrients we need, help regulate our metabolism and promote the normal operation of our body functions.

Therefore, it is very important for our overall health to choose and eat fruits correctly.

These two fruits have been included in the "cancer blacklist"

1. Rotten and moldy fruit: Even if there is only one small mildew spot, the whole fruit will be toxic.

Most fruits contain a lot of juice, sugar and nutrients, so they are an ideal environment for mold growth. When mold grows in large quantities, fruits will begin to rot gradually.

Mold is actually a big family. Usually, mold does not cause fatal harm to human body. But under some suitable conditions, the problem of mold may be more serious than we thought.

For example, in rotten fruits, the most common toxins are patulin, ochratoxin A, aflatoxin and arthrosporin.

These toxins are harmful to human health to varying degrees, and may even lead to cancer, deformity or death.

Penicillin: It can pollute all kinds of fresh fruits and juices, and can damage the intestines and kidney function. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) lists it as a class 3 carcinogen.

Ochratoxin A: It is toxic to liver and kidney, and can pollute a small number of fruits, such as rotten dried figs and apricots. IARC classified it as a class 2B carcinogen.

Aflatoxin: A strong carcinogen, it can pollute rotten fruits such as sugarcane, raisins and dried figs. IARC classified it as a class 1 carcinogen.

Arthrospermycin: It is a definite carcinogen, which can pollute rotten sugarcane. If pregnant women eat it carelessly, it may lead to fetal malformation.

Therefore, it is recommended not to eat any rotten fruit, even if the bad parts are cut off, there may be toxin residues.

2. Areca catechu: a primary carcinogen

Areca catechu is a first-class carcinogen, and this conclusion was announced by the International Center for Research on Cancer in 2003.

Chewing betel nut for a long time is equivalent to subjecting the oral mucosa to both physical and chemical blows, so that it is constantly injured.

Long-term injury is a very dangerous carcinogen, and many organ cancers are related to persistent injuries, such as lung cancer, liver cancer, esophageal cancer and so on.

In these two cases, the fruit can be eaten after cutting the wound.

1. Low temperature frostbite causes

In the low temperature storage environment, the activity of superoxide dismutase in fruits decreases, and the free radicals in cells cannot be eliminated in time.

With the increase of the number of free radicals, they will change the permeability of fruit cell membrane, thus destroying the cell structure.

In addition, the low temperature environment will also improve the activity of pectin esterase in fruit, which will decompose insoluble pectin in pulp and make the surface of fruit "soft and rotten".

But in fact, the "frostbitten" fruit is only damaged by cells and does not produce microorganisms or toxins, so it can continue to be eaten.

2. Bumped and crushed fruit

In the process of collision, the cytoplasm in the fruit dissolves, and the colorless phenols in the cells are transformed into colored quinones.

In essence, these fruits are not infected by harmful pathogens such as bacteria, so short-term eating will not affect the body.

Of course, if the fruit in your house has been stored for a long time, and it is not clear what caused it to be "a little rotten", it is better to throw it away.
