In 2013, 4 people in a family in China passed away from cancer.A survey of experts shows that the family's long -term use of moldy kitchen utensils has led to the development of Aflatoxin cancer, which the human body has absorbed for a long time.Diet.Cancer agents reach a certain accumulation that will form cancer.In particular, the kitchen utensils we use most often, easy to bring Aflatoxin toxins into the body, especially the chopsticks when moldy.
Tan Dunci, a nurse at the Clinical Detect Department of Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (Taiwan, China), said cleaning and changing chopsticks is very important.For example, there have been many cases of liver cancer in China, where the whole family has liver cancer as above.The reason is that they continue to use the chopsticks that have been moldy leading to "accumulated toxins".
Aflatoxin is a toxin that develops after mold, 68 times toxic to arsenic (arsenic) and 10 times the potassium cyanide.Just 1mg is enough to cause cancer.The International Cancer Research Agency (IARC) of the World Health Organization (WHO) is ranked as a level 1 cancer.
In addition to the food set such as a bowl of spoon, according to Hong Kong Food Safety Center (China), Aflatoxin is even more popular in the tropical regions.The environment has moisture and high temperatures, along with improper treatment and storage of plants after harvest, often causes peanuts, corn, cereals, cotton seeds, tree seeds, some spices and other types of spices and other types of spices and other types of spicesOther crops are moldy and Aflatoxin infection.
Aflatoxin has heat resistance and is not easily decomposed at normal cooking temperature, people should preserve food as well as kitchen utensils in a cool, dry place.
Tan Dunci also warned that if the chopsticks show the "crack" or "hair" that the naked eye is easy to notice, it must be thrown and replaced immediately because these cracks are easily dirty and moldy.
She also shared how to wipe the chopsticks properly, emphasizing that "wash your own chopsticks" (instead of using a dishwasher), especially bamboo chopsticks, wooden chopsticks, because bamboo chopsticks have vertical and horizontal lines on it, youMust clean each one along the carved lines, do not hold the whole grip but rub each other, that action is actually unable to clean.
In addition, Tan Dunci reminds you to choose careful chopsticks.For example, a common melamine disc is not heated and easy to deform, cannot be dipped in a pot of hot water or boiling soup.
