These 2 types of seeds are 'cancer-causing culprits', more toxic than fast food or grilled meat

Nuts have high nutritional value and are a favorite food of many people, but these two types are taboo .

Besides being a favorite delicious food, nuts are also a source of nutritious food for human health. Foods such as cashews, walnuts, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, etc. contain diverse nutrients and can be eaten every day. However, medical experts warn that there are 2 types of nuts that are confirmed to be not only not beneficial but also toxic and need to be paid attention to :

1. Moldy seeds

Moldy nuts are a serious food safety issue, especially for items like peanuts, almonds, walnuts, and other moisture-sensitive nuts.

During storage and transportation, if these foods encounter unsuitable conditions such as high temperature and humidity, they can be contaminated with molds such as Aspergillus aflatoxin and Aspergillus parasiticus . These molds will multiply under suitable conditions and produce highly toxic mycotoxins such as aflatoxin B1 . Aflatoxin B1 is a very dangerous substance, 68 times more toxic than arsenic and can cause serious liver damage. It is classified by the World Health Organization as a class 1 human carcinogen.

Moldy seeds will produce highly toxic mycotoxins such as aflatoxin B1, an extremely dangerous substance.

It is worth noting that the appearance of moldy seeds may not show many obvious signs of abnormality, so it is difficult to detect with the naked eye. When we eat these seeds, it is often very difficult to detect in advance.

So when buying nuts, remember to choose products with clear origins and buy them from official channels such as large supermarkets or reputable brand stores. At the same time, you also need to pay attention to the production date and expiration date of the product to avoid buying expired products.

In addition, users should pay attention to check whether the packaging is intact or not and avoid buying products with damaged packaging. In addition, if you see the product price is too low or the color is unusual, you should also be alert and should not buy.

2. Overly processed nuts

Currently on the market, nut products can be processed in a variety of ways such as candy, ice cream, salted baked, etc. Large amounts of sugar, salt, margarine and other spices are often added during processing.

While these spices may make nuts taste better, eating too much of them is not good for your health. Like sugar, for example, a diet high in sugar can lead to obesity and increase the risk of breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, and other diseases. Eating too much salt is closely linked to stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, and other diseases.

In addition, there are some types of products that require high temperatures during processing such as roasting, frying, baking, etc. Although processing at high temperatures can make the seeds crispier, it can also damage the nutrients in the seeds.

Worse still, high temperatures can also create harmful substances like acrylamide, which is classified as a class 2A carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and has been linked to lung cancer, bladder cancer, and other diseases.

When eating nuts, we should try to choose the original ones, without adding any flavoring. In addition, you should also pay attention to the amount of nuts you eat. Although nuts themselves are very good for your health, they also contain a lot of calories. If you eat too much, you will easily gain weight or have excess nutrients. In normal circumstances, experts recommend eating only a small handful each day, about 30 grams is enough.

Also, remember to store the nuts you buy in a cool, dry place and make sure they are not damp. If you notice any unusual smell or color, stop eating them.
