Are you still eating betel nut? Experts say that 60% of oral cancer patients are related to eating betel nut. In addition, as early as 2003, the International Center for Research on Cancer blacklisted betel nut, which is equal to tobacco, alcohol, arsenic, etc.
Why areca nut: Currently, areca nut on the market is divided into three types: green nut areca nut, tobacco nut areca nut and Taiwanese areca nut. Green nut betel nut is soft and sweet, and has a better taste without smoking; tobacco nut betel nut is a kind of betel nut that is smoked to dry. The Hunan market is basically the world of tobacco fruit; while Taiwan betel nut is a fresh tender seed betel nut, which has a large market in Taiwan but is difficult to see in the mainland.
Betel nut added with tobacco can cause oral cancer, pharyngeal cancer and esophageal cancer, while betel nut added without tobacco can also cause oral cancer. Betel nuts contained in various betel nut products may cause precancerous lesions in the oral cavity (oral submucosal fibrosis) and turn into cancer at any time. When the chemicals in betel nut are chewed, the nitroso formed is a clear carcinogenic compound. In addition, betel nut is hard and can easily cause mechanical damage to the oral mucosa when chewing.
Causes of betel nut cancer:
Physical damage: When chewing betel nut, the friction of betel nut fibers will cause local trauma and mucosal damage to the oral mucosa. Long-term chewing of betel nut can lead to delayed damage and local chronic damage, leading to chronic inflammation, enhanced oxidation and cell proliferation. Studies have shown that the frequency of oral mucosal cell shedding in people chewing betel nut increases significantly.
Biotoxicity: Areca nut contains a large amount of polyphenols and a variety of alkaloids, of which areca nut is the most important component, accounting for about 1% of the net weight of dry areca nut. Arecoline obviously promotes the wilting of epithelial cells and interferes with the precipitation and decomposition process of extracellular matrix macromolecules (collagen, elastin, etc.). In addition, flowers and lime chewed with betel nut also have certain genotoxicity. It is mainly caused by the combined action of nitrosamines
chastity device , clove polyphenols and active oxidants contained therein. with
Tobacco co-promotes cancer: Simply chewing betel nut can significantly promote the occurrence of oral cancer, while betel nut lovers who smoke at the same time have a higher chance of developing oral cancer. Smoking itself is also a separate risk factor for oral cancer. Studies have shown that chewing tobacco-containing betel nut significantly increases toxic substances in saliva, which has a significant destructive effect on cellular DNA synthesis and other processes.
Betel nut causes cancer. What are the disadvantages of chewing betel nut?
1. The teeth themselves are not good: If you chew betel nut for a long time, your teeth will be severely worn.
2. Bad periodontal: When betel nut juice is mixed with lime, it is easy to form calculus, which not only affects the appearance

4. Not good for the temporomandibular joint: Long-term chewing will increase the weight on the temporomandibular joint, causing joint rattling, pain and other symptoms. In severe cases
male chastity cages , the articular disc will also be perforated.
5. Impact on the digestive system: Some components of betel nut can damage taste nerves and saliva secretion
girl using vibrator , affecting digestive function. In addition, betel nut residue also stimulates the stomach wall, which can seriously lead to inflammation and even perforation of the gastric mucosa.
