“Are peanuts the hair of cancer patients?”

Aunt Liu recently had gastric cancer surgery. Others say that peanuts have high nutritional value and can be well nourished However, she saw a study on the Internet saying that eating peanuts in cancer patients can promote the metastasis and spread of cancer cells! So she hurriedly found Xiao Ai and asked if she could still eat peanuts in the future.

Don’t mention it, there are really relevant studies that remind cancer patients that it is best not to eat peanuts in large quantities.

1. UK study: peanut may be a catalyst for cancer cells

< strong>University of Liverpool, UKA study of peanuts by researchers found that cancer patientsfrequent, high numbers span>Eating peanuts may increase the risk of cancer spreading.

Researchers found that after cancer patients eat peanuts, peanut agglutinin will quickly enter the blood circulation and interact with blood vessel wall cells to produce IL-6 and MCP-1 (these two cytokines are recognized cancer metastasis-promoting factors) and other cytokines.

And when these in vivo cytokines increase, it will cause other endothelial cells to express more cell surface adhesion molecules, making them more attractive to circulating tumor cells may promote cancer metastasis to a certain extent.

So, are peanuts still edible for cancer patients?

Of course! The research conducted by the University of Liverpool in the UK has not been very clear, and the researchers also said that further population-based epidemiological studies are needed to determine whether high consumption of peanuts in cancer patients has an impact on survival.

About whether cancer patients can eat peanuts, American scientists have also conducted a large-scale study. Study, Study found no significant effect of peanut consumption on cancer mortality. Another study found that eating peanuts in men with prostate cancer had no significant effect on prognosis.

For cancer patients who love to eat peanuts, they can eat them properly every day, and don’t eat too much. Generally, they will not bring additional risks to health. They should be vigilant in daily life. It’s these two kinds of peanuts!

Second, it is clear that two kinds of peanuts may cause cancer, so eat less!

1. Moldy peanuts

Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences Agricultural Science and Technology Innovation Project Agricultural Product Quality and Safety Risk Researcher Zhao Shancang from the evaluation and control technology innovation team pointed out that peanuts are easily infected with Aspergillus flavus during the process of planting, harvesting and storage, and then produce aflatoxin.

Aspergillus flavus widely exists in soil and air, and can easily infect peanuts under suitable temperature and humidity. Aspergillus. Aflatoxin is highly toxic and carcinogenic. Long-term intake of aflatoxin can cause irreversible liver damage and even induce liver cancer.

2, fried peanuts< /strong>

Fried peanuts at high temperature will destroy the vitamins contained in them, denature their proteins, and produce Aldehydes, lower fatty acids, epoxidesand other harmful substances.

These substances can cause damage to the enzyme system and accumulate in the body for a long time, increasing the risk of cancer. In addition, frying produces a large amount offree radicals that are harmful to the human body, and regular consumption increases the risk of cancer.

The above two kinds of peanuts must be avoided as much as possible. How should we eat peanuts in our daily life so as to retain their nutritional value to the greatest extent?

Third, peanuts are called longevity fruit by traditional Chinese medicine. How to eat them?

Wang Lili of Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine said that peanuts are also known as “fruit of longevity and longevity” among the people. It contains53~72% oleic acid and 13~26% linoleic acid (both of which are unsaturated fatty acids, with a total content of about 80%), in addition to In addition to protein, multivitamins, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other minerals, resveratrol, catechins and other nutrients, these substances can bring health benefits certain benefits.

There are two ways to eat peanuts in life:

1. Raw span>

The nutrients contained in peanuts are mostly conventional proteins, carbohydrates and cellulose, etc. Raw eating will not bring too much stimulation or stimulation to health. Toxicity, compared to cooked peanuts, the taste will be sweeter when eaten raw.

2, cooked< /p>

After cooking peanuts, the unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins contained in them will be lost, but The protein in peanuts will be easier to cook after cooking Digestion of some will not put extra burden on the gastrointestinal tract.

It is recommended to consume no more than 15g of raw peanuts at a time (approximately 30 peanut kernels), it is best to eat it several times before meals. The average daily intake of cooked peanuts is recommended to be controlled within 25g (about 50 peanut kernels), and you should also pay attention to eating them in multiple times.

It is worth reminding that although peanuts are good, they are not suitable for everyone. >

4. 2 kinds of people don’t eat peanuts in large quantities

1. People with poor digestion

Peanut itself is a food with high fat content. For some people with poor digestive function, eating peanuts in large quantities will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, which is not good for health.

2. People with abnormal blood lipids and blood pressure

For people with high blood lipids and high blood pressure, eating a lot of peanuts will cause blood lipids and blood pressure If it increases further, it is easy to induce hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease and other diseases.

Peanut is one of the common foods in life. In most cases, it should be eaten properly. Peanuts will not bring health risks. You must pay attention to identifying rumors every day, and don’t bring some unnecessary influence to your life because of rumors.
