Chinese family dies of liver cancer, caused by “kitchen utensils” that contain a toxin 68 times more powerful than arsenic . Warning! 5 risky behaviors, using them incorrectly may cause “toxic ingestion” without realizing it.
A tragic incident occurred in China when a family of four members died of liver cancer one after another, even though they had no genetic history of the disease. Until experts discovered that the tragedy was caused by “kitchen utensils” that were misused and accumulated a toxic substance called aflatoxin, which is the most severe carcinogen , and is 68 times more toxic than arsenic .
According to The Paper and 39 Health, Ms. Liu was diagnosed with liver cancer. Her family had no history of cancer, but her grandfather, father, and older brother all died of liver cancer. Ms. Liu believed that there must be a reason for the high cancer rate in her family. In order to prevent this tragedy from happening to her son and daughter. She hired a specialist to conduct a physical examination. After testing, the specialist found aflatoxin, a Class 1 carcinogen, in the cutting boards and chopsticks that Ms. Liu’s family uses every day. Which was the cause of the family of four getting cancer.
What is aflatoxin? According to the Taiwan Food Safety Center. Aflatoxin is a toxin produced by the Aspergillus fungus that is found in hot and humid environments, especially in dried foods that have been stored for a long time. Such as beans and corn, or in kitchen utensils that have not been properly cleaned. This substance can cause acute liver toxicity, up to cirrhosis and liver cancer in the long run.
Revealing 5 high-risk kitchen items, warning that using them incorrectly could ruin your life.
1. Aluminum pots:
Although aluminum is a lightweight metal and a good heat conductor, its long-term use can cause metals to leak into food. If it accumulates in the body. Especially in people with kidney problems, it can lead to bone and brain diseases from heavy metal accumulation.
2. Rusty iron pans
If iron pans are not used regularly, they will oxidize and rust. This rust can be a source of mold and bacteria. If it is still used, it may cause food contamination.
3. Moldy wooden cutting board.
Although wooden cutting boards are strong. Scratches will develop if used for a long time, which is where moisture and mold accumulate. Even if washed with hot water and dishwashing liquid, mold cannot be completely removed. You should change the cutting board immediately if mold is found. You should switch to a PP plastic cutting board that can withstand heat up to 120-130°C and is easier to clean.
4. Wooden chopsticks (especially the kind with grooves).
Research from a university in Taiwan found that wooden chopsticks are naturally porous, so even after washing, there will still be food particles stuck to them. Resulting in up to 660 units of bacteria per chopstick. And wooden chopsticks with grooves have up to 13,000 units of bacteria, which is 7-8 times dirtier than a toilet seat. Therefore, avoid using chopsticks with grooves and change chopsticks regularly. It is best to choose the ones with plain colors to avoid contamination from heavy metals and synthetic colors.
5. Kitchen towels:
The kitchen area has high humidity, which is ideal for germs to grow. A towel that has not been washed within 2 days can harbor up to 600 million bacteria. Experts recommend washing kitchen towels every day and soaking them in disinfectant or bleach before drying.
