Everyone uses a refrigerator almost every day of their life. It is common to use the refrigerator in spring and summer to better keep the food fresh. The usual vegetables and fruits can be kept longer, the refrigerator brings us a lot of convenience, so that we can live a better life. So, is it harmful to use refrigerators? What are the incorrect ways to use it? According to 360 Common Sense, improper refrigerator use can also cause stomach cancer.
Can Improper Refrigerator Use Lead to Stomach Cancer?
Before refrigerators became common, people often preserved food by salting or smoking it, but such foods contain high levels of nitrates and nitrites, which can be converted into cancer-causing N-nitroso compounds in the stomach. In this respect, the popularization and proper use of refrigerators have reduced the incidence of gastric cancer.
However, with the popularization of refrigerators, residents have more chances to eat overnight dishes and return dishes, and unhealthy eating habits have become a cause of gastric cancer. A refrigerator is not a safe. Many bacteria multiply faster in the closed, empty room of the refrigerator. Overnight vegetables stored in the refrigerator not only did not keep fresh, but were contaminated, many dishes put back into the pot easy to produce carcinogenic substances.
The refrigerator ownership rate of young people is significantly higher than that of middle-aged and elderly people. Because of the fast pace of work and life, they can’t stay away from the refrigerator all year round. Eating food stored in the refrigerator for a long time increases the chances of germs invading the stomach. Of course, the incidence of gastric cancer tends to be younger, and smokers and alcoholics are not excluded. In addition to paying attention to a light diet, eating less cured and smoked foods, and eating more fresh vegetables, early screening is also a good way to prevent and treat stomach cancer, which has a 5-year survival rate of 95% in its early stages.
In the investigation of early gastric cancer, the correct judgment rate of gastroscopy combined with pathological examination is the highest, and the proportion of early gastric cancer is the highest, and painless electronic gastroenteroscopy is the most intuitive and advanced gastrointestinal examination method. Electronic gastrointestinal endoscopy, by sending a sensor similar to a miniature camera, can clearly transmit the lesions of esophagus, stomach, duodenum, large intestine and other places to the TV display, and can also clamp multiple tissues or brush the samples with cell brush for pathological examination, greatly improving the accuracy of screening.
These refrigerator-related operations are dangerous
1. The coke is frozen in the fridge
Because carbonated beverages contain a large amount of gaseous substances, the solubility of gaseous substances will decrease with the increase of temperature. Cans of fizzy drinks and beer are sealed, and the volume of the drinks expands when they are frozen.
After carbonated drinks are removed from the freezer, a large amount of gaseous substances in the drinks will precipitate in a short time, resulting in increased pressure in the tank, so it is easy to explode when opened.
2. Put flammable and explosive items in the refrigerator
Alcohol, gasoline and other flammable and explosive items stored in the refrigerator, due to the small volume in the refrigerator, easy to form explosive mixtures. If sparks are generated during startup, explosion and fire are likely.
3. Outlet for glassware storage or cold room
Do not place glass bottles or glass containers at the outlet of the air duct system in the freezer or freezer. This may cause the bottles to burst and cause personal injury.
4. Place other appliances in the refrigerator
Do not place and use microwave oven, rice cooker, voltage regulator and other electromagnetic induction appliances. On top and around the refrigerator. This is because electrical appliances with electromagnetic induction will cause electromagnetic interference to the refrigeration system of the refrigerator, resulting in the refrigerator thermostat startup in a state of confusion, that is, the thermostat is broken. In addition, microwave oven and refrigerator together will cause resonance, bad for the equipment.
A refrigerator explosion is a small probability, but this small probability should not be taken lightly, because if it happens, it can be life-threatening.
