1、Can eating more garlic fight cancer?
Indeed, in some in vitro experiments and animal experiments show that the sulfur-containing compounds and selenium-containing compounds in garlic have certain positive effects on cancer prevention, especially some gastrointestinal malignant tumors, such as esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, colon cancer and so on. However, there are also many studies that refute these views and consider the above experiments to be flawed. Some experts point out that cancer prevention ingredients, does not mean that food can directly prevent cancer. Moreover, neither in vitro nor animal experiments can directly prove the effect in the human body. Therefore, the "anti-cancer" thing is still controversial, and it is not recommended that we eat a lot of garlic to prevent cancer.
2, black garlic, purple garlic, white garlic, nutritional value of the difference?
Black garlic: it is garlic in a high humidity environment heated for a month or more fermentation. Black garlic due to allicin has been degraded, sugar is also broken down into fruits sugar, taste will have a sweet flavor, and the total amount of volatile organic sulfides reduced, eat will not have a spicy feeling, for the stomach and intestines of the stimulation of the relatively smaller. Purple garlic: purple garlic compared to white garlic, antioxidant effect is stronger, more antibacterial, so purple garlic flavor is more pungent. White garlic selenium and germanium elements will be more rich, these 2 kinds of components to enhance the human body function is good.
3, garlic stir-fry will cause cancer?
Many people like to put garlic into the frying pan chili, but there is a view that: garlic chili will produce acrylamide cancer!
However, experts say, acrylamide belongs to the 2A carcinogen, its animal experiments carcinogenicity evidence is sufficient, but the evidence of carcinogenicity to people is limited; and it is not to say that a little bit of acrylamide will be carcinogenic, acrylamide carcinogenic to meet a certain amount of intake. (The carcinogenic dose of acrylamide is 2.6-16μg per kilogram of body weight). So you can't simply say that choking garlic will definitely induce cancer. However, it is best to avoid it as much as possible to prevent it from happening.
4. Can I still eat sprouted garlic?
Many people think that you should not continue to eat sprouted food. In fact, sprouted garlic can be eaten, and the nutritional value will be higher. A study found that the internal antioxidant activity of garlic sprouted for 5 days was higher than that of fresh garlic. However, if the garlic is sprouted and there is rotten, moldy situation, you can not continue to eat.
5, garlic is good to eat raw or cooked?
Raw garlic has better sterilization effect. Garlic in the heating process, play a role in antibacterial organic sulfide content will gradually decline, and the higher the temperature the faster the decline, so cooked garlic can not be very good to play a bactericidal effect. It should also be noted that the allicin in garlic must be combined with the enzyme alliinase after the cells are broken, and can only be changed into allicin after encountering oxygen. Therefore, it is best to crush garlic into a puree and leave it for 10~15 minutes before eating, which is more conducive to the generation of allicin. Tips: Allicin has a certain stimulating effect on the stomach and intestines, eat too much garlic, easy to cause acute gastritis, and thus should not eat more than 2~3 cloves per day. For people with poor gastrointestinal function, it is best not to exceed 1 clove per day, and even avoid eating raw.
