You definitely buy them almost every day and – we bet – you eat the wrong way.
A small piece of raw smoked sausage can contain as many dangerous chemical compounds as an adult inhales in a big city during a year. In the program “Conspiracy Theory” of Channel One, experts made a list of what other foods we eat almost every day are killing us in the literal sense of the word. And they gave the antidote.
Tomatoes
Alas, there are them – a direct path to gout. The fact is that there is a lot of uric acid in tomatoes, and it is deposited in the joints. Moreover, if you overeat with tomatoes, then kidney problems can begin. Tomatoes delay the removal of toxic salts from the body. But you should not completely abandon tomatoes. The main thing is not to eat them in kilograms every day. That at the current cost for good tomatoes and impossible, which is already there. By the way, the key concept is good tomatoes, not their plastic-nitrate counterparts, which can cause an allergic reaction. Choose bright, aromatic tomatoes that are firm to the touch. If there are white dots on the skin, this is a signal that they were helped to ripen using chemistry. We pass by!
Yesterday’s tea
Go to the kitchen right now – you probably still have tea leaves from yesterday. Is there a tape on it? So, know: this tea is a real poison. The film on the tea contains almost the entire periodic table, which collects bacteria. In addition, it coats the lining of the stomach and intestines, which further complicates digestion. But do not rush to throw away the old tea leaves. It is perfect for outdoor use. For example, as eye compresses to help relieve redness and swelling. Or use a face mask. To do this, take 2 teaspoons of pink clay, 2 – sour cream and 2 tablespoons of yesterday’s tea, add half a spoonful of any oil – and the moisturizing mask is ready. 15-20 minutes – and you’ve done a good deed for your skin.
Do you drink tea bags and think that you are so safe? Wrong, you are also at risk. Scientists have found that tea can lead to esophageal cancer. True, the point is not in the quality of the tea, but in the temperature. The boiling water burns the esophagus. The ideal tea temperature is 65 degrees Celsius. It is clear that we do not sit down to drink tea with a thermometer. But there is a fact: in order for the boiling water to cool down to the desired temperature, you need to let the hot drink stand for at least 12 minutes.
Sea fish
She’s the most helpful. But she can kill. Everyone knows about the puffer fish, from which death occurs instantly. It’s all about the dangerous substance tetrodotoxin. Of course, this exotic is sold in a few restaurants. But few people know that buying ordinary mackerel or salmon, we also risk our lives. Healthy marine fish can literally destroy our lungs. It’s all about a dangerous substance – scombrotoxin. It is formed in fish such as tuna, mackerel, salmon. Good news! Not all fish is dangerous, but only the one that was stored incorrectly – thawed and frozen several times.
Figuring out in a store that it’s better to walk past the counter is not so difficult, just take a closer look at your potential dinner. The fish should be smooth – without an ice crust or snow embankment, without sharp bends and creases (this means that it, thawed, was torn off from other fish and damaged), the surface is not windy. You say: there is an expiration date. He is usually 12 months old. But you see the date of packing, not the catch. Choose the fish where the shelf life is at least six months.
Rolls from packaging
A convenient but very dangerous sweetness. She literally hits our body with a sledgehammer. And it’s not just that it’s full of sugar. These rolls are a real chemical warehouse. They do not deteriorate, do not stale for months. Let’s leave the roll unpacked for a few days. After a week, absolutely nothing happened to him. He remained soft. Why is this happening? It turns out that it’s all about the impregnation. To keep the layers soft and tender, they are impregnated with a horse dose of preservatives. It’s better to opt for dried fruit or bake the roll yourself!
