Healthy women have liver cancer after eating peanut sauce and toast for breakfast. Nutritionist: Peanut sauce is a "source of excellent protein" than fruits

A few days ago, a doctor shared a case of liver cancer. A female patient with good health usually does not drink alcohol and has no history of hepatitis B or C. She was accidentally found to have great liver cancer and has even moved to her lungs. After further inquiring about her diet, she found that she almost always ate peanut sauce toast for breakfast every day, which lasted for 20 years.

The doctor pointed out that the liver cancer of this patient may be related to the long-term use of peanut sauce contaminated by yellow koji toxin. The International Cancer Research Agency (IARC) has listed yellow koji toxin as a "first-class carcinogen" and is closely related to the occurrence of liver cancer, kidney cancer and gastric cancer. If peanuts, peanut powder, and peanut sauce are contaminated during production and preservation, yellow koji toxin may be retained.

In the United States, peanut sauce has become almost synonymous with protein. According to the NPR report in the United States, peanut sauce was found around the late 1800s and the popularity rose sharply during the Second World War due to meat shortages. At that time, peanut sauce was just a substitute for nutritional supplements, and today this food is deeply rooted in the American family culture.

Influenced by Western culture, peanut sauce is also a very popular ingredient in Taiwan, especially for breakfast and various desserts. Eating contaminated peanut sauce can easily cause cancer, but it would be a pity to ignore the nutritional value of peanut sauce.

How much protein does peanut sauce contain?

Since it was once a substitute for meat, peanut sauce naturally contains a considerable amount of protein. Marquita Lewis, a marketing and transmission manager at the National Peanut Association, said: "Each serving of peanuts and peanut sauce contains about 7 grams of protein, which is more than other fruit types." Rebecca Ditkoff, a nutrition consulting agency Nutrition by RD, reminded that peanut sauce is not "complete protein", so it cannot be completely relied on as the only source of protein. Complete protein refers to proteins containing 9 types of essential amino acids in the human body, and peanut sauce does not have these amino acids.

Amino acids are the basic component of protein, and we need to extract 9 types of amino acids that humans cannot synthesize by themselves from food (compositions include: platinum acid, leucine, leucine, leucine, leucine, edemic acid, amphetamine, somyl acid, somyl acid, tryptic acid, and aminic acid).

According to the information from the National Medical Library in the United States, these nine amino acids are called "essential amino acids" because they cannot be produced naturally. Peanut sauce lacks methacrylic acid, ionic acid and souric acid, so it is "incomplete protein".

Is peanut sauce a good source of protein?

Even if it is incomplete protein, it does not mean that it has poor quality. Ginger Hultin, author and nutritionist of "Reducing Meals 101", notes that peanut sauce is a very healthy food, it contains more protein than many other fruit sauces and is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

According to the standards of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), if a food contains 10% to 19% of the recommended intake, it can be regarded as a good source of the nutrient. Peanut sauce contains about 16% of the daily recommended protein, so there is no doubt that it is a source of high-quality protein.

Which type of peanut sauce has the highest protein content?

The protein content of most brands of pure peanut sauce is about the same, about 7 to 8 grams. It is recommended to confirm whether the product contains unnecessary additives before purchasing. Harting said: It was a bit difficult to find peanut sauce without sugar, but he continued to look for this product.

What is the difference between peanut sauce and peanut sauce?

Peanut sauce is like a recent peanut sauce. Peanut sauce is made by removing oil from peanuts and drying and grinding, so the fat and heat content are lower. In a sentence, it contains the same protein as peanut sauce, but has less fat and calories.

Basically, people who are not allergic to peanuts can eat peanut sauce. Louis suggested that peanut sauce can be added to the diet before and after exercise, or as a substitute for milk powder, suitable for people with milk allergy.

For those who are controlling carbohydrate and fat intake, peanut sauce is a good choice to replace traditional peanut sauce. If you want to control the heat and want to extract protein, peanut sauce is a more high-quality choice than peanut sauce.
