Tumors result in the death of the primacy of disease, although the incidence of cancer is the result of the combined effects of multiple factors, genetic, emotional, environment etc, the incidence of cancer there is relevance, but according to experts estimated that dietary factors in the pathogenesis of tumor also occupy an important position, accounting for 35% of the causes of cancer incidence, while 50% of the tumors are associated with diet. The relationship between diet and cancer is complex, catering both carcinogenic, but also anti-cancer, tumor suppressor. So what dietary factors are likely to cause a tumor?
This article is taken from: "Huang Di Nei Jing diet and health"
Surfeit of food warm
The so-called warm foods, one that directly felt the temperature is too high, too hot food; one belonging to Chinese medicine in the warm nature of classification of foods. Xin because it is too hot, easy to damage the digestive tract epithelial cells, so the most vulnerable nature of food-induced digestive system tumors.
Too hot lead to esophageal cancer and other digestive tract diet is an important reason for tumor development. Food overheating will damage and stimulate the esophageal mucosa and long-term stimulation of the malignant transformation induced by the organization. Chinese people's digestive tract cancer was significantly higher than Westerners, that is, with the Chinese people Dolce & hot food, three meals a day are hi accompanied by soup, such as soup, batter and other relevant; relative to the Chinese, and Western diet relatively simple , usually rare soup, and multi-drink fruit juice, cola and other cold drinks.
Xin heat of liquor, long-term drinking, is the most common digestive system cancer incidence factors. Shandong Province southwest of the high incidence of esophageal cancer, with the region thermophilic diet, alcohol dependence. In fact, as early as 1964, WHO says that the excessive alcohol consumption and oral cancer, larynx and esophagus related. Qidong County, Jiangsu Province, respectively, the relatively high incidence of liver cancer in pass Hing Township, and a relatively low incidence of Xining village survey found that: the former liver cancer mortality rate 2.5 times the latter. Township only way the two separated, the natural environment is basically the same, smoking rate is equivalent to high incidence of liver cancer is different is that people love to drink and low-risk people prefer tea.
Similarly, Chinese medicine foods are also fried, BBQ food, such food because of the fried and baked at high temperatures has also come into heat food. The study confirmed that long-term consumption of these foods could easily lead to stomach cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer and so on.
Like the Chinese people's passion tea, like Westerners, Dolce & coffee. Scholars in the United States after five years of epidemiological investigation concluded that the effect of caffeine on the formation of pancreatic and bladder cancer have a certain influence. People who regularly drink coffee do not drink coffee than people suffering from cancer, the possibility of these two large 2 ~ 3 times. In pancreatic cancer patients, at least half is due to caused by drinking too much coffee.
Gomi disorders
Chinese medicine practitioners believe that diet should be reconciled Wuwei, Gansu, bitter, sour, Sim, even eat salty food, no blindly partial eclipse, can lead to diseases. The factors giving rise to tumors, Feigan too greasy and salty too thick is a common factor.
Feigan tired too thick
TCM Feigan thick greasy the goods, are sweet, greasy foods. From clinical studies, the sweet taste of food that is starchy, carbohydrate foods, excessive intake of easily lead to gastric cancer; fat, grease, excessive intake of high fat foods, can provoke a breast, colon, rectal and pancreatic cancer . From the Chinese perspective, oncology certificate belonging to the scope of the plot, "Nei Jing" believe, integrated card is a body fluid, congestion of the point of being stagnant, while the hypertrophy food, easy to help wet-Sheng Tan, will undoubtedly add to the cohesion of these pathological product.
From the perspective of modern medicine, often eat high-fat diet could promote the liver secrete more bile into the intestine, the bile of the primary bile acids in the intestine under the action of anaerobic bacteria into deoxycholic acid and bile stones acid, both of which substances are promoter agent, can make cancerous intestinal mucosa. At the same time, fat can provide an appropriate for a variety of tumors growing environment.
Too salty
In addition to salt, salty foods including pickled vegetables, salted fish, bacon and other preserved foods. According to the relevant studies have shown that those who eat it regularly preserved foods, the risk of esophageal cancer was 2.79 times as those who rarely eat. Most likely to eat salty foods due to stomach cancer. Japanese fishermen eat salted fish, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer is more common occurrence. To eat the salted fish is also an important factor in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Malaysian researchers have found that coastal residents suffering from nasopharyngeal carcinoma are more reasons that they love to eat salted fish related. China's census data shows that in the high incidence of gastric cancer, the per capita daily intake of salt 50 grams; while low-incidence area of gastric cancer, the per capita salt intake of only 6 grams.
In fact, the salt itself is not carcinogenic, causing cancer due to high concentration of salt solution easy to damage gastric mucosa protective layer, causing mucosal erosion or ulceration. In this case, once the invasion was carcinogenic substances, it will encourage producing partial gastric cancer cells. Salt is an indispensable body of material, but not excessive consumption. Is generally believed that normal salt intake should be controlled in less than 6 grams per day.
Variability of food consumption
Rotten food
Aflatoxin has been recognized as the most powerful carcinogen, while Aspergillus flavus on the rotten-rich grains, corn, peanuts, a type of bacteria in warm, moist environment, easy-to-growth and reproduction, the study found the test could be induced animals, a variety of tumors. This is a factor leading to Asia, Africa and some parts of the major reasons for high incidence of cancer.
Pickled foods
Nitrite is also a recognized carcinogen, vegetables, meat and other produce after curing a large number of nitrite. Salted dried fish, fermented pickles, kimchi, pickled cabbage, the overnight cooked cabbage, sausages, meat all contain N-nitroso compounds, if the regular consumption of these foods there is the risk of cancer
