Hong Yongxiang warns of foods damaging liver and kidneys
Nephrologist Hong Yongxiang has issued a warning regarding specific foods that may damage the liver and kidneys, particularly in elderly populations. He identified five categories of food to avoid to maintain long-term health.
Among the warnings, white congee is described as a 'blood sugar bomb' because it can cause rapid spikes in glucose levels, potentially leading to fatty liver and kidney failure. Pickled vegetables are also flagged due to high salt content, the risk of aflatoxin from mold, and the presence of nitrosamines, which are linked to esophageal and liver cancer.
Additionally, fermented tofu and certain sauces are noted for high sodium levels, which correlate with hypertension and stroke. Processed meats like pork floss are criticized for containing high amounts of oil, sugar, and inorganic phosphates. The high absorption rate of these phosphates can lead to calcium loss and arterial hardening.
