Bandung –
Fried cabbage is one of the culinary favorites of many people. Fried cabbage is considered as one of the foods to increase the appetite of the Indonesian people.
Besides that, cabbage or cabbage is usually eaten by Indonesian people as fresh vegetables or ingredients for soup. Just like other types of vegetables, cabbage has nutrients that are important for the body.
Reported detikHealth who cites Medical News Today, cabbage is rich in water-soluble vitamin C which plays a role in the formation of collagen. Collagen then works by maintaining and maintaining the structure of bones, muscles, skin and blood vessels. In addition, vitamin C protects the body from many chronic diseases caused by free radicals, including cancer.
Another potential cancer-fighting compound found in cabbage is sulforaphane. The study entitled ‘Epigenetic Regulation by Sulforaphane: Opportunities for Breast and Prostate Cancer Chemoprevention’ in 2015 wrote that sulforaphane has the power to inhibit a harmful enzyme, histone deacetylase (HDAC), which is known to be involved in the development of cancer cells in the body, especially melanoma, esophagus, prostate , and pancreas.
However, fried cabbage actually contains heterocyclic amine compounds which are carcinogenic and can trigger cancer.
Sports and fitness nutritionist from the Indonesia Sport Nutritionist Association (ISNA) Mochammad Rizal said that substances that appear after fried cabbage can trigger disease if consumed in excess. Foods that are processed in a ‘deep-fryer’ way are not recommended for consumption every day.
Quoted from Nutrition Facts, Hot oil can produce compounds that are potentially carcinogenic, especially when used repeatedly. In addition, some types of fried vegetables can trigger acrylamide.
It doesn’t stop there, oily foods contain high fat and cholesterol. If consumed in excess, it can cause plaque in the blood vessels so that it is susceptible to strokes or heart problems.
So it’s better to consume cabbage naturally without the addition of other ingredients or fried because it is fairly healthy and good for the body.
