Mr. Ton is over 40 years old, having a small family with his wife and son.In the last two months, he suffered from itchy skin, yellowing, acne.His wife and son also have similar but lighter symptoms, so the whole family thinks that the water source has a problem.
However, they are in an old apartment for rent, so changing the water supply is very difficult.In many months, it could not find a reasonable new rent, they could only buy medicine for themselves even though the effect was not worth much.
As for Mr. Ton, because the work had to meet customers a lot, the wife advised him to go to dermatologists first.Unexpectedly, the dermatologist checked him and immediately transferred him to the pancreatic liver department.Here, the doctors conducted a biopsy and concluded that Mr. Ton had stage 3 liver cancer.

Mr. Ton was extremely surprised.He did not smoke very rarely drink alcohol, the work also had to travel a lot, not being inactive.Until the doctor asked about the new eating habits or the cause of the disease from 3 dishes almost always present in Mr. Ton's refrigerator.That is:Green vegetables overnight, wood eardrum soaked for a long time, seeds and mold.
It turned out that his family had a habit of cooking food from the evening, leaving in the refrigerator and then going to work the next day.Excess dishes, including green vegetables, are always closed in the closet, eat a few days later, unless the smell is left.
The doctor explained that oxidized vegetables due to the cooking process at a certain temperature for overnight in the refrigerator will produce and increase the content of a harmful substance of nitrite (metabolized from nitrate available in vegetables)..Although this amount of nitrite is not significant, if eaten regularly will accumulate and harm the body.
Because when nitrite into the body will combine with protein to form nitrosamine, very harmful to the liver.For a long time, liver function, liver cell damage and in the long run increase the risk of liver cancer.In addition, vitamins and folate in green vegetables are also very sensitive to high temperatures.When reheated for the second time, these substances will be destroyed and formed toxins and they will threaten the health of the liver and the digestive system.

With the second dish as a wood ear soaked for a long time, it is because Mr. Ton's family has a habit of soaking wood ear overnight with large amounts and then removed the refrigerator to eat gradually.Sometimes, put the same dried wood ear and water into the plastic box and pour it into the refrigerator, when it is necessary to use it.
Dry wood ear itself is not toxic, but if soaked for too long, especially for more than 8 hours or overnight, it is easy to be metamorphic, creating a favorable environment for harmful bacteria to multiply and grow, biologicalOut toxins that cause poisoning.Including BKA liver toxins, mycolic acid and leading carcinogens warned by WHO: Aflatoxin.
Aflatoxin is also easy to find in the nuts and seeds that Mr. Ton's family has been in the refrigerator for a long time.Although the economy is not abundant, but because he wants to be good for health, his family often buys all kinds.From walnuts, almonds, cashews ... then in the refrigerator, each time only dare to eat a little.The wet, easy -to -infection environment makes them very quick to change the taste, even mold but they also regret the money but do not dare to leave.
Because the whole family ate the same, so the doctor finished speaking, Mr. Ton hurriedly called his wife and children to check.As a result, they also could not avoid evil liver cancer, only at the earlier stage.
