Excess estrogen may increase cancer risk
Dr. Chen Xueping, chief technology officer of “Mercatin” and a registered toxicologist in the European Union and the United Kingdom, explained that the so-called “estrogen” is a type of female hormone, a hormone self-produced by the human body. Under normal circumstances, the human body does not need to consume additional estrogen. However, with the development of industrialization and environmental pollution, many foods contain substances that affect the endocrine system, including veterinary drugs, pesticides, etc. These external influencing substances are referred to as estrogen. , also known as endocrine disrupting chemicals.
Chen Xueping pointed out that excessive intake of estrogen may induce various diseases and lead to endocrine imbalance, such as cancer (including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, thyroid cancer, etc.), decreased reproductive ability, nervous system disorders, and precocious puberty in children. , diabetes, etc. Therefore, it is generally recommended that pregnant women, children, patients with cancer or tumor diseases, and people with breast tissue hyperplasia should avoid excessive absorption of products containing estrogen-like substances.
Chen Xueping reminds everyone that when purchasing chicken wings, in addition to referring to the above safety list, you can also pay more attention to whether the packaging indicates that it does not contain estrogen.
