Instant coffee can't be on the list.

Even now, cancer is the biggest cause of death in Japan. According to figures released by Japan's Ministry of Health and Labor in 2012 (Hirayuki 24), 360100 people die of cancer each year. In order to prevent cancer, there should be a large number of people who quit smoking and improve their diet. However, in fact, many foods around us contain carcinogens. So what kind of substances are they and what kind of food do they exist in?

Potato chips

1. Potato chips

The substance that deserves our attention because it may cause cancer is acrylamide. The substance is said to be found in foods that contain large amounts of carbohydrates and heat them to more than 120 degrees Celsius.

Because potato chips fully meet the above conditions, it is concluded that potato chips are rich in acrylamide both in the investigation of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan and foreign studies.

French fries

2. French fries

French fries are also a food rich in acrylamide. The results showed that the maximum concentration of acrylamide in French fries was 1.5 times higher than that in potato chips. It's not easy to make home-made French fries, whether homemade or restaurant fries have tested positive for acrylamide, so please pay more attention.

Cakes, pie foods

3. Cake and pie food

The same concentration of acrylamide as potato chips was detected in cakes and pies made from wheat at high temperature. For those of you who care about carcinogens, there should be no problem with pastries made at low temperatures.

Instant Coffee

4. Instant coffee

High concentrations of acrylamide were also detected in coffee beans, fried tea and roasted wheat tea. Because acrylamide is soluble in water, it also contains acrylamide in coffee, fried tea, wheat tea and other drinks extracted by this test. Please pay more attention.

These are the foods rich in acrylamide, a carcinogen. How do you feel after watching them? Acrylamide can not only cause cancer, but it is said to affect the nervous system if inhaled in large amounts or in contact with the skin. The substance is found in tobacco, but no matter how much you quit smoking, it can be dangerous if you eat a lot of foods rich in acrylamide.

In addition, acrylamide is said to be found in dry-fried vegetables, stir-frying, self-made baked snacks and toast. But it doesn't seem to be found in unheated fresh ingredients. In addition, the report shows that it does not seem to be found in steamed or cooked food, if any, in very small amounts. Therefore, those who mind might as well make some efforts to find appropriate cooking methods, which may reduce the risk of cancer.
