oncologist Astrakhantsev warned that vegetables with nitrates can cause cancer

May 8, 2023

Oncologist Maxim Atsrakhantsev in an interview with RT warned Russians about the dangers of eating vegetables with nitrates, as they can cause cancer.

According to the expert, oncology can be caused by many factors. For example, drinking alcohol, because it contains ethanol, which can cause cancer of the mouth, esophagus, as well as the rectum and mammary glands.

According to the WHO, trans fats should also be avoided. They are in the composition of semi-finished products, fast food and confectionery.

“Trans fats can also form when deep-frying meat, fish, and even vegetables. In addition to cancer, they also provoke diabetes and cardiovascular disease,” the oncologist warned.

With maximum caution, you need to treat chips, crackers and other snacks. They have an overabundance of trans fats, as well as artificial flavors and colors, which also contribute to the deterioration of our health.

Even vegetables can be dangerous. For example, those that contain nitrate also provoke the appearance of oncology.

The fact is that part of the nitrates inside vegetables become nitrites and they are converted into nitrosamines under the influence of various enzymes in the digestive tract. Newly formed substances are very carcinogenic and, like all of the above, affect the formation of oncology.

In conclusion, the doctor reassured that all the products that he spoke about, in small quantities, are not capable of leading to cancer. Therefore, in everything you need to know the measure and not to part with the use of them.
