Internet rumors: There are taboos in eating steamed buns, especially freshly baked steamed buns, which contain yeast ingredients, otherwise it will cause cancer!
Do you know what yeast is?
I believe that people who often make pasta will be very familiar with it. Yeast is used in the fermentation process of pasta. It belongs to a single-celled microorganism that can be eaten by humans. In making steamed bread and achieving the purpose of being soft and porous, yeast can be said to be indispensable.
It can ferment in the dough to generate carbon dioxide, form a lot of reticular tissue, increase the volume of the original pasta, and at the same time, it can make the fermented food through biochemical reactions. Disperses an attractive fragrance and has the characteristics of high temperature resistance.
In addition, yeast-related yeast autolyzed extract is a state-approved additive, and is also used as a food nutritional fortifier in baby food. In terms of nutritional value, yeast can also improve the nutrition of fermented foods, including amino acids and B vitamins needed by the human body.
So, yeast itself is very safe and healthy, and there is no risk of cancer. So why do you say that yeast in freshly baked buns can cause cancer?
Through the investigation, it was found that there is no scientific basis for this statement, and it is mostly misrepresented by people. Regarding the temperature of the yeast itself, according to its characteristics, the most suitable temperature is 20~30 degrees Celsius. Once outside this range, even above 47 degrees Celsius, the yeast cells will lose their activity.
In other words, in the process of making steamed bread, the yeast will be inactivated when the temperature reaches 50 degrees Celsius or more, and the temperature of baking bread is even higher, so why not? Talk about cancer. Moreover, it has been mentioned above that yeast itself has no risk of cancer, and the double verification shows that there is no problem. Therefore, everyone will not have the wrong concept.
For the real thing to note, not all steamed buns are healthy to eat, there are a few types of steamed buns to watch out for:
The first type of spoiled steamed bread, steamed bread and other staple foods can easily breed aflatoxin under long-term storage. It is very toxic and is also listed as a class 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Cancer of the World Health Organization. Even if it is eaten indiscriminately, it cannot be inactivated by high temperature, and the risk index is extremely high.
The second unhealthy way of cooking steamed buns, such as fried, grilled steamed buns, smells really good, has a strong Maillard reaction, and can Behind such a reaction, it means that food is very easy to lose nutrients under long-term high temperature, and it is also likely to produce carcinogens such as benzopyrene and acrylamide.
Behind the deliciousness, you should also check whether it is healthy. It is recommended that if you want to eat healthy, you should choose steamed buns with coarse grain noodles. For example, you may add buckwheat noodles, Cornmeal, colorful, nutritious and healthy.
