Mrs. Hoang and her husband both work on finance.When her eldest son had her first child, she was less than 50 years old but had retired early to stay at housewives and take care of her family.The idea that the life was full and fulfilled to the children and grandchildren, so the Hoang suddenly discovered that he had liver cancer at the age of 63.
According to her, it was good for her own digestion, rarely sick but in recent months suddenly suddenly diarrhea.At first, Ms. Hoang said that she had to eat damaged things, then thought in the direction she was old, so the digestive system was weak.After that, she began to have symptoms of fast weight loss, appetite, or dull pain in the right abdomen, doing nothing but also tired.

Ms. Hoang was afraid of the family, so she hid her illness, and went to the gastroenterology by herself.As a result, her stomach and intestines were no problem but the alpha-fetoprotein index was up to 565. This is a protein synthesized by the liver cells and the yolk bag of the fetus.Demonstrating the liver of Ms. Hoang was seriously damaged.After doing some other intensive tests, she concluded that she had stage 3 liver cancer.
Ms. Hoang was extremely unexpected, because she had never smoked, the number of drinking alcohol only counted on the tip of her fingers, also regularly exercised, more and more without a family history of cancer.When the doctor asked more about the lifestyle, the culprit was exposed: soy sauce right in the kitchen (also known as soy sauce).
Why can soy sauce cause liver cancer?
Turns out, Ms. Hoang loves to use soy sauce, almost every dish must be used, every meal makes a bowl to dot.It is important that other spices such as fish sauce, salt ... She bought the famous brand right in the supermarket under the building, only soy sauce bought from the peddlers.Because she found their soy sauce has just tasted, cheap and thinks that crafts will be better for health.
The doctor explained that the craft soy sauce bought from the peddlers may contain many harmful substances for health.Because soy sauce at small production facilities do not have strict production standards, raw materials are prone to mold, damage ... can contain aflatoxin in excess of the standard seriously.
While aflatoxin's toxicity is 68 times more arsenic and 10 times the potassium cyanide.After penetrating the human body will directly damage liver cells.Aflatoxin has long been paralyzed into the group of carcinogens, not only damaging liver cells but also causing widespread liver necrosis.If you regularly eat poor quality soy sauce, the amount of toxins as well as bacteria contained in it will gradually accumulate and harm your health.
Therefore, doctors recommend using spices with clear origin.In particular, even if the soy sauce has a reputable origin if used too much is not good, can increase the risk of liver cancer and many other liver diseases.
The reason is that soy sauce is derived from the fermentation of soybeans, producing nitrite ammonium - a substance that can cause cancer.The liver is the main detox part, so even though the ammonium nitrite is toxic, the body still transports to the liver to eliminate.Using too much soy sauce will make the process of dividing the liver cells will be interrupted, long -term will cause the liver to be damaged even fibrosis, seriously affecting the liver function.
Even if it is a soy sauce from a reputable brand, you should not eat too much because it is vulnerable to liver damage (illustration)
When she realized her mistake, Ms. Hoang immediately worriedly told the doctor that her whole family ate so.The doctor advised her to quickly bring the whole family to cancer screening.As a result, the other three members of the family, the son, and the daughter -in -law of Mrs. Hoang all discovered liver cancer like her.Fortunately, they were only in the early stages, and grandchildren only had a minor liver in the liver, not to the point of forming cancer.
Ms. Hoang was extremely depressed, constantly blaming herself to harm the whole family.She also regretted ignoring many signs of liver cancer for a long time, too subjective to her health.She hoped that no one would make any unfortunate mistake like her family!
