Benzopyrene becomes the "culprit"
Recently, after three years of research, the World Health Organization recently selected and published six healthiest foods and ten top junk foods, saying that eating barbecue is equivalent to smoking.
A research center in the United States reported that eating a roast chicken leg is equivalent to smoking 60 cigarettes. Who says eating barbecue is as harmful as smoking?
1 roast chicken leg =60 cigarettes
According to the Legal Evening News, winter is the golden season for barbecue, and the business of barbecue food such as mutton skewers is very hot. Recently, however, the World Health Organization released the results of a three-year study, saying that eating barbecue is equivalent to the toxicity of smoking.

Women who eat barbecue regularly have twice the risk of breast cancer as women who don't like barbecue food. Experts explained that because the meat is barbecued directly at high temperature, the decomposed fat drips on the charcoal fire and then combines with protein in the meat, which will produce a carcinogen called benzopyrene. If people often eat barbecue food contaminated by benzopyrene, carcinogens will accumulate in the body, which may induce gastric cancer and intestinal cancer.
Regarding the "toxicity" of barbecue foods, Hao, director of the Department of Occupational Diseases and Poisoning Medicine of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, told reporters that because these foods contain high fat and calories, they have a great relationship with "modern diseases" such as hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Oil will change its chemical structure under the action of high temperature, which may have adverse effects on people's health.
It is understood that because the meat is directly barbecued at high temperature, the decomposed fat drips on the charcoal fire and then combines with the protein in the meat, which will produce a carcinogen called benzopyrene.
Induce gastric cancer and intestinal cancer
Experts explained that if people often eat barbecue food contaminated with benzopyrene, carcinogens will accumulate in the body, which may induce gastric cancer and intestinal cancer.
At the same time, there is another carcinogen in barbecue food-nitrosamine. Nitrosamines are produced in the pickling process before kebabs. If the curing time is too long, nitrosamines are easily produced.
Affect teenagers' eyesight
In addition, according to an authoritative study in the United States in recent years, eating too much cooked bacon will be threatened by diseases such as parasites, and even seriously affect the vision of teenagers, leading to myopia.
Frying is also harmful.
In addition to barbecue food, high-temperature vegetable oil and repeatedly used fried food will produce benzopyrene. This morning, the city's nutrition experts warned that the harm of fried food to health should not be ignored.
According to Dr. Yang Ziyan, a nutritionist in charge of the Nutrition Department of the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University, the reason why doctors don't advocate eating fried food is mainly because oil will decompose into a substance called acrylamide under the action of high temperature. Acrylamide is produced by frying foods rich in carbohydrates at high temperature, which can induce benign or malignant tumors. At the same time, too much oil is easy to get fat, leading to high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and so on.
The harm of barbecue food mainly includes the following aspects: 1. The utilization rate of protein decreased: when meat was roasted in the oven, vitamins and amino acids were destroyed, and protein degenerated, which seriously affected the intake of these nutrients.
2. Hidden carcinogens: In Maillard reaction, nucleic acids and most amino acids in meat are decomposed by heat, which may cause cancer.
3. Easily infected with parasites: the barbecue food is tender outside, and some meat is not cooked yet. If it is unqualified meat, the consumer may be infected with parasites and bury hidden dangers.
After barbecue, the nature of food tends to be hot and dry. In addition, cumin, pepper, pepper and other condiments are all spicy ingredients, which are very spicy and irritating, which will greatly stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis and digestive juice secretion, which may damage the digestive tract mucosa and affect the physical balance.
