[Can eating fried foods cause stomach cancer?]
Fried foods are loved by many people. Chinese people have been eating fried foods for more than two thousand years. During the Southern Song Dynasty, fried dough sticks had become one of the favorite foods of the common people.
However, fried foods are classified as junk food by the World Health Organization. Several authoritative studies have confirmed that fried foods can shorten lifespan and induce gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc. This is because fried foods, after high-temperature processing, inevitably produce polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which contain carcinogenic substances and increase the risk of developing gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and other cancers.
In addition, after food is fried, it contains a large amount of oil. Eating it not only leads to weight gain, increases the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but also increases the burden on the intestines and stomach, which is not conducive to digestion.
Therefore, fried foods are not healthy foods. Although they are delicious, it is better to eat less of them in daily life. It is not worth it if they pose a threat to your health.
