Someone asked, I heard that eating barbecue with cola can cause bone cancer, is it true? Here's the thing: "Yesterday I had barbecue and drank cola. I was enjoying the two things, but a friend who studies medicine suddenly said this, which scared me so much that I quickly put down the cola in my hand. I want to ask, is there any scientific basis for this statement? Well, I love the combination of barbecue and cola."

If you are only exposed to carcinogens occasionally or for a short period of time, you usually don't need to worry too much. The most worrying thing is long-term exposure. For example, long-term smokers will have a significantly increased risk of developing cancers such as lung cancer. Of course, cancer is not caused by a single factor. Long-term smokers have an increased risk of cancer, but they will not necessarily get cancer because there are other reasons. Don't simplify the problem.

Does eating barbecue and drinking Coke cause cancer?

Barbecue is not good for your health. Meat and other ingredients will produce some possible carcinogens during the smoking and barbecue process. It is not a big problem if you eat it occasionally, but if you develop a habit and eat this kind of thing frequently, you have to be careful as it may increase your risk of cancer.

In addition to causing damage to bones, long-term consumption of carbonated beverages such as cola may increase the risk of obesity and indirectly increase the risk of various cancers due to the sugar content.

Therefore, whether it is eating shaoshao, drinking cola, or a combination of the two, it is not recommended or suggested. If you only do it occasionally, you don't have to worry about it, but don't do it often.

Remember: eat less barbecue, or better yet, don’t eat it. Also try to drink less beverages like “cola”.

In fact, there are some other beverages that you should try not to drink because they may also increase the risk of cancer.

1. Alcoholic Beverages

All alcoholic beverages, including various types of liquor, beer, and all alcoholic beverages, may increase the risk of cancer. Even drinking small amounts increases the risk. The more you drink, the greater the risk.

Some people may ask, why do people who drink frequently not get cancer, while people who don't drink often get cancer? This is not surprising. Cancer is the result of the combined effects of multiple factors. A single factor increases the risk, but it does not necessarily cause cancer. Basically, most things are probabilities. All our efforts are to increase the probability of success and reduce the probability of failure. If you do everything well, then your probability of success is the highest.

2. Sugary drinks

All sugary drinks, such as milk tea, cola, and various other drinks on the market, basically add sugar to improve the taste. Try not to drink this kind of drink if you can, drink as little as possible, and never drink it often, because drinking too much will increase the risk of cancer. The so-called sugar-free drinks are a trap to deceive people.

3. Hot drinks

The hot temperature mentioned here refers to over 65 degrees Celsius. Whether it is hot tea, very hot coffee or other hot drinks, if the temperature exceeds 65 degrees, be careful as it may increase the risk of esophageal cancer.

4. Contaminated beverages

Whether it is drinking water or other beverages, if they are contaminated, frequent drinking of such contaminated beverages will also increase health risks and the risk of cancer. The most typical example is that drinking water pollution leads to liver cancer. Studies have found that in rural areas with a high incidence of liver cancer, the risk of liver cancer is significantly higher for residents who drink pond water contaminated by algae than for residents who drink water. Of course, this situation is rare now, but the water and beverages that people usually drink also have a shelf life, so be careful to avoid contamination.
