5 Fruits on the 'Black List' That Cause Disease and Feed Cancer Cells: No Matter How Cheap They Are, Don't Buy Them

5 types of fruits in the 'Black Book' cause disease, nourish cancer cells, don't buy even if they're cheap.

Although fruits are essential for the body, not all fruits are always good. Below are 5 types of fruits that WHO recommends avoiding to avoid getting sick.

Moldy Fruit: Contains aflatoxin, a WHO-certified liver cancer-causing substance.

Many people buy cheap, rotten and moldy fruits. However, these fruits are no longer sweet and nutritious when fresh. Especially if you eat moldy fruits, you may experience digestive symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, flatulence...

In addition, mold sometimes contains a toxin that is harmful to the liver, called aflatoxin, which can cause hepatitis and liver cancer. Aflatoxin not only develops on the surface but also penetrates deep into the food. Therefore, whether the moldy part of the fruit is cut off or cooked at 100 degrees Celsius, the risk of poisoning remains.

Betel and Areca nut: Causes oral cancer, warns IARC

Betel nuts and betel leaves are traditional foods in many Asian countries, including Vietnam. However, when chewed, betel leaves rub against the oral mucosa severely, causing peeling of the epidermis or various scratches. In addition, the toxins in betel leaves, areca nuts, limes, or tobacco rub against the damaged areas severely and cause cancer.

According to many research studies, arecolin and areca nut have been found to increase gastric juice secretion, reduce heart rate and stimulate nerves. This is the reason why many people feel that their face is pink when chewing betel nut as if they have just drunk alcohol.

Frozen Fruit: Produces nitrites which can cause cancer.

As the weather warms up, many types of frozen fruits are becoming more popular among people. However, according to experts, most tropical fruits are not suitable for refrigerated storage. 

Another disadvantage of this fruit is that when frozen, some fruits produce nitrites, which can cause UT in those who eat them.Wax-coated apples to extend shelf life: easy to cause leukemia

When you buy an apple, do you notice a white waxy layer on the outside of the apple skin? This is a protective layer called beeswax that is sprayed on by vendors to extend the shelf life of the apple.

Many companies produce waxes made from natural ingredients such as beeswax, red laquercetin or carnauba wax... which are safe for health, but the price of this preservative is very expensive.

Therefore, the wax used to coat fruits often contains heavy metals such as mercury, lead, formaldehyde, or industrial dyes. Eating wax apples for a long time can have a negative effect on the immune system and cause leukemia.

Ripe banana juice: Contains chemicals that cause premature puberty and increase the risk of leukemia.

Bananas are a popular food and are packed with nutrients that are good for your health. However, this fruit is easily crushed, so for easy transportation, sellers often pick bananas while they are still green and then soak them in chemicals, preservatives containing formaldehyde, and ripening agents to keep the bananas ripe evenly and stay fresh longer.

However, these chemicals are harmful to the body. Eating ripe bananas for a long time may cause premature puberty in children and increase the risk of leukemia.
