Watch out for cancer because of your preference to eat baked goods

Winter, northerners are more passionate about street grills because of their deliciousness, cheapness, and seasonality. However, experts warned that baked goods on any medium contain cancer-causing toxins.

Direct baked goods on gas stoves, which are favored by many housewives because of their convenience, are quick. When baking on a gas flame, food (usually dry) will be burned at a high level and high temperature. Since then, food produces AGE . This is a durable glycation compound that helps foods look attractive, smells good, and tastes good and crispy.

When eating burnt food on gas flames means that people eat a significant amount of AGE. When food enters the body, the nutrients that accompany AGE go into every corner: cells, blood vessels, tissues .

Associate Professor Tran Dang (former Director of Food Safety) said that AGE penetrates into the body and damages healthy tissue. Where proteins are present, AGE will cause protein denaturation. This is very dangerous because the human body is primarily composed of protein. If AGE moves to the brain, it causes neurological disease, lying under the skin will cause wrinkled skin . From there, the body will age faster than age. More dangerous is that AGE also causes cardiovascular, osteoarthritis, and neurological diseases . depending on the level and movement into which organs.

According to Mr. Dang, depending on the burned product, the grill directly on the gas stove also creates chemical intermediates: aromatic amino acids, heterosexual amines . They cause cell mutations and cancer. Roasting indirectly on gas stoves through butter and grease pans . is also harmful, because of the above toxins."However, the level of AGE, aromatic amino acids, heterocyclic . will be less ," he said.

Whether baking directly or indirectly, the grills are subject to emissions. The gas itself is very toxic to air. Food baked on gas stoves is even more dangerous because facing gas will stick directly to the dish.'This causes food poisoning of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidney and respiratory function. Gradually accumulating, the disease will aggravate and develop , 'said Professor Tran Dang.

The baked goods on the charcoal stove do not eliminate the cancer-causing toxin. In addition to creating AGE, chemical intermediates such as aromatic amines, heterocyclic amines, and baked goods on charcoal also produce a number of other substances, typically in baking powder.'Baking powder will form carbohydrates that burn at high temperatures, creating acrylamide. This is also a carcinogen , 'said Mr. Dang.

Baking on charcoal (both coal and charcoal) also produces a lot of CO. This is a very dangerous health hazard if inhaled. The CO combined with the hemoglobin made up of MED-hemoglobin causes paralysis because oxygen is not transported to the body. In addition, CO ₂ is toxic, suffocating, but to a lesser extent.

Barbecue on the stove, electric stove, microwave oven with grill function also produces AGE, aromatic amines, heterocyclic amines . but at a much lower level.

Chung commented to Associate Professor Tran Dang, Associate Professor Phan Thanh Tam (Deputy Head of the Department of Food Technology, Polytechnic University) that baked goods may contain carcinogens.

'During baking at temperatures above 500 degrees Celsius, baked goods on gas stoves, coal, electricity . produce BAH compounds (multi-ring hydrocarbons PAH - Polycyclic Aromatic Hdrocarbon). In addition, are heterocyclic amines in the process of burning protein-rich baked ingredients at temperatures above 650 degrees C. These are substances that can cause cancer. Therefore, if you eat a lot of baked goods, it will affect your health badly, " said Professor Tam.

'The best way is to use a halogen grill, or a multi-purpose vacuum oven, to use the heat to cook food. These types of cookers do not produce harmful gases for the surrounding environment. You can also use the grill on wood stoves, straw but not in open space, wide, 'said Professor Tran Dang.

In addition, Associate Professor Phan Thanh Tam advises users to limit the temperature of the oven, between 300 and 500 degrees Celsius. The use of an oven that does not come into contact with food directly on the fire is best. .

Experts recommend that barbecue but delicious but eating a lot is not good. Each person should eat only moderately, eat sparingly and eat at a level.After eating a barbecue once, take a week to a few weeks to remove all toxins from your body.

Bake on a gas stove is not recommended. The gas itself is always toxic. Whether direct or indirect contact, consumer health is affected. If grilled with charcoal stove, electric stove, the word must be baked in the open place, not in the dining room. The grill should wear a mask as a toxic gas filter to limit the inhalation of many toxins into the body.

In addition to the above ways, you can use glass ovens, used for the grill in the family very assured and ensure health.

Tiross oven

Tiross oven - with convection grill technology with halogen lamps and automatic thermostat circuit: Halogen grill technology creates a constant flow of hot air throughout the furnace chamber, helping food ripen from inside to outside, quickly ripening more and keep the taste delicious. Built-in thermostat control circuitry saves optimum power.

The best way is to use a halogen grill, or a multi-purpose vacuum oven, to use the heat to cook food.
