Many people also eat with some “savoury” or strong-tasting foods, but there is one type of food: if you eat it from an early age, the more you eat, the higher your risk of developing nasopharyngeal cancer, which can be as high like 7 times!
Lou Peiren, Professor of Otolaryngology at National Taiwan University Hospital“Health 2.0” programHe pointed out that there are three main causes of nasopharyngeal cancer: genetic inheritance, Epstein-Barr virus infection (human herpes virus type IV infection), pickled food, the reasons are as follows:
This type of food contains a lot of nitrites, which are carcinogens. If you have a genetic weakness and can’t resist the Epstein-Barr virus while eating a lot of pickled food, your risk of developing nasopharyngeal cancer will be much higher than the average person.
But Lou Peiren pointed out that this doesn’t mean pickled food can’t be eaten. Because some studies have found that after adults eat pickled food, the risk of inducing nasopharyngeal cancer is relatively low. He reminded that if there are genetic factors, Epstein-Barr virus and eating a lot of pickled food in childhood, the risk of nasopharyngeal cancer is very high.
