No proven link between 8 food types and cancer as claimed on social media

[snoop1130]

 

Thailand’s National Cancer Institute has refuted as untrue a social media report linking eight kinds of food with cancer.

 

The report lists seasoning powder, chewing gum, pig’s liver, picked vegetables, dried radish, bottled fruit juice, preserved eggs, stinky (fermented) tofu and deep-fried dough sticks as being linked to certain forms of cancer.

 

Medical Services Department Director-General Somsak Akksilp said today (Wednesday) that the National Cancer Institute maintains that there is no causal link between cancer in humans and the these foodstuffs.

What's the difference between picked vegetables and unpicked ones?

Missed placeholders response.

 

I suspect they meant pickled vegetables.

For "picked" read "pickled".

I've been told that a high rate of stomach cancer in Japan is due to pickled vegetables (o-shinko). Here is a study of the literature in East Asia:

I’m sorry but that is just not true. There are plenty of studies linking deep fried foods with certain types of cancer. 
 

No one is saying eating deep fried foods will lead to cancer but to say there is no link at all is just utter bovine fecal matter.
