九層塔裡有一種成份已經證實會導致肝癌!!
轉載台北榮民總醫院臨床毒物科醫師葛謹、吳明玲解答
九層塔西方人稱的羅勒與我們的九層塔相近，原產地在印度由荷蘭人帶到台灣來。
羅勒的葉片略呈橢圓形，香味較淡甜度較高。
九層塔是一年生的植物，非常容易種，植株有綠莖和紫莖兩種較常見又以紫莖的香味較濃，每到 5-10月是盛產季，烹調時以葉片翠綠者佳，葉片變黑時即將腐爛香味已失。
九層塔裡有一種成份叫做Eugenol這個成份已經證實會導致肝癌。當然其他的植物中也含有這個成份，但是九層塔裡的含量最高，而且其他植物大部份不是拿來食用的！
致癌的機轉是 Dose dependance，也就是說，因為致癌物的一再刺激，會造成致癌機會的漸漸提高！
所以，在這個致癌理論中，接觸致癌物的次數是關鍵。
本來，人體有對受損組織(或基因)修補的機制，但是一再的刺激造成突變後，情況就不可逆了！而 Eugenol 的中文名稱就叫做「黃樟素」！
所以，不要再用九層塔煎蛋了 ！！

hi pal,
回覆刪除Long time no see you!! I thought you are busy recently for both of your new apartment
and job.
Tell you a news that Johnny will construct his new apartment very soon which he bought
last year. I visit his apartment with him this afternoon and discussed with him about
the design and decoration. So there is another 寒舍 for our future gethering loh!! Ya Ya
Ya...
How are you recently? Are there any news for your job hunting?
Regards,
Bill
Hey Dude,
回覆刪除Question for you first, is this Blog for us to discuss "article" or "personal issue"?
Maybe others won't understand what we are talking about. Whatever!!
Actually I was very busy on my new apartment in past couple weeks, moving/ onloading/
buying new furniture. Moving to a new place is great, but we have to spend more money
for more spaces.
No news related to JOB recently, do you have any opportunity for me? ha ha ha..
Jasper Lin
Yes, you are right! I made mistake. We better discuss personal issue via mail in the
回覆刪除future.
Job opportunity will be always opened for you. ha ha ha.... By the way, I start to
consider that I may visit you for gathering and my private vacation someday. Wish I can
plan it and make it happen.
Bill
