Many people also eat with some “delicious” foods or strong taste, but there is one type of food. If you eat it from a young age, the more you eat, the bigger the risk of developing nasopharyngeal cancer, which can be as high as 7 times!
Lou Peiren, professor of otolaryngology at National Taiwan University Hospital, pointed out in the “Health 2.0” program that there are three main causes of nasopharyngeal cancer: genetic inheritance, Epstein-Barr virus infection (human herpes virus type 4 infection), and pickled food The reasons are as follows:
This type of food contains a lot of nitrite, which is a carcinogen. If you have a genetic weakness and cannot resist the Epstein-Barr virus while eating a lot of pickled food, your risk of developing nasopharyngeal cancer will be much higher than the average person.
But Lou Peiren pointed out that this does not mean that pickled food cannot be eaten. Because some studies have found that after adults eat pickled food, the risk of causing nasopharyngeal cancer is relatively small. He reminded that if there are genetic factors, the Epstein-Barr virus, and eating a lot of pickled food during childhood, the risk of nasopharyngeal cancer is very high.
