Cancer immunotherapist Dr. Jamal A Khan has given this big information by sharing a video on social media.
What does the doctor say?
Cancer immunotherapist and founder director of The Denvax Clinic, Dr. Jamal A Khan, says that the older the pickle, the greater the risk of diseases like cancer in your body. Dr. Jamal says that in families where pickles are consumed in large quantities, more cases of cancer have been seen.
How does old pickle harm health?
Cancer immunotherapist Dr. Jamal A. Khan says that the older the pickle, the more free radicals start forming in it. Actually, any food item like pickle that is rotting, a lot of free radicals are formed in it. Pickle is also rotting due to the spices added to it. In such a situation, pickle kept for a long time forms a lot of free radicals. Dr. Jamal said that here free radicals mean something that removes oxygen from food. However, this oxygen is not 02, but just O. Which starts damaging the walls of the cells formed in the body.
This is the doctor’s advice-
Seeing the craze of Indian people towards pickles, Dr. Jamal A. Khan advises that if you like to eat pickles, then do not keep it for too many days. Here Dr. Jamal, referring to two types of pickles, said, ‘Look, let me make it clear that there are two types of pickles. One pickle is such that you keep it yesterday and take it today. This type of pickle is absolutely safe to eat. However, this type of pickle should also be consumed only occasionally. Do not make pickles a part of the diet every day. But avoid eating one year old pickle, 2 year old pickle. Always make new pickles for eating. Eat it in the same season in which you made the pickle.
