Do you like coffee? Some coffee shops will also stir-fry coffee beans in the shop, emitting a strong smell and attracting guests, but the smell has been smelled for a long time, I am afraid it is not good for health. According to the report of the EU Food Safety Commission, fried coffee beans will produce carcinogen benzopyrene.

Every time you pass by a coffee shop, will you be attracted by the smell of roasted coffee beans? Even if you smell this smell, come in and have a look. It smells very comfortable. Indeed, many people feel comfortable when they smell fried coffee beans. But before that, there were public protests. Coffee shops now smell coffee beans, which is really uncomfortable. Toxicology experts tell us that it is not unreasonable for people to smell the uncomfortable reasons.

According to information released by the European Union Food Safety Commission, roasting coffee beans at high temperatures will produce carcinogen benzopyrene, which is also found in emissions from bitumen and motor vehicles.
