A middle-aged couple are people who pay a lot of attention to maintaining their health after retirement. They often drink a glass of milk every day and eat healthy foods. However, after a long time of use, their body feels more tired, the quality of sleep is also poor and their appetite is reduced.
Because of their worries, the couple went to the hospital for a check-up and were diagnosed with liver cancer. When asked about their daily life, they said that to save money, they often went to the supermarket to buy items that were about to expire to use in large quantities, including milk.
Because they could not eat it all at once, they often left it and reheated it to eat gradually even after it expired because they thought it was still safe.
However, these expired foods may contain aflatoxin – a substance that cannot be eliminated by heating and is also one of the agents that cause liver cancer.
Medical experts say that, especially for milk, although rich in protein, it is also very easy to produce bacteria and mold. After drinking expired milk, even young people can experience conditions such as nausea, vomiting as well as many other unpleasant symptoms of the digestive tract, causing serious consequences.
In addition to regularly drinking expired milk, the couple also had an unbalanced diet. They often ate only one type of food that was about to expire for quite a long time.
