Can eating ginger also induce liver cancer? Things you need to know to prevent liver cancer

As the saying goes, "Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and you won't need a doctor to prescribe medicine" and "Eat ginger in all seasons, and all diseases will be gone", which shows that eating ginger is good for the human body. However, a study found that excessive consumption of ginger increases the risk of liver cancer.

Research by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) shows that safrole can cause liver cancer. Adding 0.04% to 1% safrole to the feed of mice for 150 days to 2 years can induce liver cancer in mice. The process by which safrole is metabolized into active carcinogens is now relatively clear: safrole is first metabolized into phenylethanol in the mouse body, and then activated and converted into acetate or sulfate, becoming the final carcinogen. If safrole is combined with an oxidant, it will produce epoxy safrole with stronger carcinogenic activity.

Ginger contains safrole. Excessive consumption of ginger can easily increase the risk of liver cancer. Although ginger is good, avoid excessive consumption. In addition, rotten ginger produces toxins that can also cause cancer. Some people believe that "rotten ginger does not taste rotten", but this idea has no scientific basis and is also very dangerous, because rotten ginger produces toxins, which can cause liver cancer and esophageal cancer in severe cases.

Liver cancer is the second most common malignant tumor in my country. According to statistics, about 260,000 people die of liver cancer every year in the world, and nearly 100,000 in my country. Liver cancer has become one of the diseases that seriously endanger human health and life, and should be taken seriously. Patients with liver cancer will experience symptoms such as pain in the liver area, digestive tract symptoms, fever, bleeding tendency, and joint pain throughout the body. If you find any discomfort in your body, it is best to go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid missed diagnosis.

There is an old Chinese saying that "know when to stop" and "too much is as bad as too little". Therefore, everything should be done in moderation, just like ginger. Eating a little can strengthen the body, but eating too much can easily lead to liver cancer. In addition, to prevent the occurrence of liver cancer, you should keep a cheerful mood and avoid the influence of negative emotions. In addition, you should maintain good eating and rest habits.
