Recently, the neighbors blocked peanuts and put them on the family fasting list. Not only did the two elderly people not eat at home, but when they were walking in the community, other old acquaintances would also advise them not to eat.
Our two elderly people were also pulled by the neighbors and started a nutrition education lecture for more than half an hour. From traditional Chinese medicine to Western medicine research, it is a straight-forward approach. If I didn’t want to pick up my grandson from school, I wouldn’t leave.
Once they got home, the old couple had a bit of a disagreement. One has soft ears and feels that what the neighbor said makes sense. It may be that the new scientific research has come out of the bad of peanuts. The other one thinks that our ancestors have eaten peanuts for a hundred years rather than a thousand years. When something happens, it’s all fake science!
Seeing that our family was about to spark a family war, I quickly interrupted to see what was hidden behind the peanut, which has always been hailed as a nutritious delicacy!
Peanuts may spread tumors
According to a study by the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom, people with cancer who eat too much peanuts may accelerate the spread of cancer cells.
What is this all about? It turned out that according to the research of scientists, they found that peanuts contain a kind of agglutinin (peanut agglutinin, PNA). It’s at fault.
When we eat peanuts, clusterin can quickly enter the blood circulation, interact with the cells in the blood vessel wall, and produce cytokines.
Ordinary people may be better, but cancer patients who eat a lot of peanuts may produce the factor IL-6, MCP-1, which promotes cancer metastasis.
Over time, these cell surface adhesion molecules also increase, and they continue to attract circulating tumor cells and eventually metastasize.
The study, published in the journal Carcinogenesis, provides further proof-of-principle for peanut condensin PNAs in causing tumor spread.
For example, PNA can bind to specific sugar chains. This sugar chain is often present on precancerous cells and cancer cells, and has a certain effect with proteins. In other words, it can make cancer cells very sticky and stick to blood vessels.
In addition, many cancer cells will also pass through its action and form small clumps, and the survival period of cancer cells in the body will be prolonged a lot.
Many people may say that peanuts are not only eaten raw. After frying or cooking, can it destroy its activity?
Unfortunately, after experimentation, PNA itself is highly resistant to cooking/digestion, and high temperature processing does little harm to it.
In the minds of ordinary people, peanuts have high nutritional value and are rich in oil. Many people not only love peanuts, but also use peanut oil.
How could one day Peanut be transformed into an accomplice to the spread of cancer cells? After that, can’t touch peanuts?
The answer is: ordinary people are less affected, and people with cancer can reduce the frequency and amount of peanuts to be on the safe side.
Done! Eating this peanut can really cause cancer!
Just overturned the perception, and now there is an allegation against Peanuts.
Even ordinary people who do not have cancer at all, eating this kind of peanuts can really cause cancer!
That is, Moldy Peanuts!
Moldy, blackened peanuts are likely to be contaminated with aflatoxin.Aflatoxin can cause acute poisoning and cause great damage to the human liver and spleen.
Accidental ingestion of aflatoxin-contaminated and moldy peanuts may lead to poisoning if the concentration exceeds 1 mg/kg. Long-term consumption may cause cancer!
And aflatoxin is very heat resistant. Some people like the freshly squeezed peanut oil in the village, and feel that it is much more fragrant than the peanut oil sold in the supermarket.
In case the raw materials are mixed with moldy peanuts, even if they become peanut oil after many processes, the aflatoxin will not be eliminated and can still do evil in the body.
So, if you want to stay healthy, start at the source and never eat moldy peanuts!
