The liver is the main detoxification organ in the human body, and according to the 2019 cancer registration data, liver cancer ranks second as the leading cause of cancer death among Chinese people. Gastroenterologist Xiao Dunren shared his teacher’s experience: He found that the tumor in his liver had ruptured and hemorrhaged due to discomfort in his upper right abdomen. After investigating the cause, he found out that it was because he often ate peanuts and stored them improperly to produce aflatoxin, and he himself had hepatitis B.

Gastroenterology doctor Xiao Dunren shared in the program “The Doctor Is So Spicy” that his hepatobiliary and gastroenterology teacher, in order to see patients from afar, often sees from morning till night that he has no time to eat, and the nurse who follows him when he is hungry he uses peanuts to pat his stomach. Unexpectedly, when the teacher was 54 years old, he suddenly felt that “the upper right abdomen was strange”. After doing an ultrasound, he found that “c ‘it was a tumor in the liver’, which was ruptured and bleeding, which rather shocked him.
Xiao Dunren said that the teacher himself has hepatitis B and only cares about taking care of the patients every day. When the blood was drawn, the GOT and GPT were normal, and they ignored the ultrasound. Big and cracked .
Xiao Dunren pointed out that liver disease is actually divided into three categories: the first is “viral hepatitis”, which is liver A, liver B, liver C, liver D, the second is “chemical hepatitis”, such as drinking, take medicine and peanut Aflatoxin is produced too long, the third is the “metabolic liver disease”, such as fatty liver. If the patient has only one type of liver disease, that’s okay, but if the combination of two types puts too much strain on the liver, it’s easy to develop liver tumors.
Xiao Dunren further pointed out that according to research, when the ambient temperature exceeds 12 degrees, aflatoxin is easily produced. Therefore, when you unpack the peanuts, you must put them in the refrigerator if you are not finished eating them. In addition, many food research institutions have also conducted sampling experiments on peanuts. As long as they are stored at room temperature, almost all peanuts contain aflatoxin.
