Abacwaningi baseNyuvesi yase-Oxford balandele ukuphila kwabantu baseBrithani abaneminyaka ecishe ibe yingxenye yesigidi iminyaka eyisishiyagalombili. Ososayensi bahlaziya ukudla kwabo kanye nomlando wezokwelapha, befinyelela iziphetho mayelana nezifo ezikhulayo. Kuvele ukuthi izinkulungwane ezingama-23 kwabangu-475 XNUMX bathole ukuthi banomdlavuza. Bonke laba bantu babefana ngento eyodwa: babevame ukudla inkukhu.
“Ukusetshenziswa kwezinkukhu kwakuhlotshaniswa kahle nengozi yokuthola i-melanoma eyingozi, umdlavuza wendlala yesinye kanye ne-non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma,” kusho ucwaningo.
Yini ngempela eyenza lesi sifo - imvamisa yokusetshenziswa, indlela yokupheka, noma mhlawumbe inkukhu iqukethe uhlobo oluthile lwe-carcinogen, ayikacaci. Ososayensi bakhuluma ngesidingo sokuqhubeka nocwaningo. Okwamanje, kunconywa ukuthi udle inyama yenkukhu ngaphandle kokushiseka futhi uyipheke ngezindlela ezinempilo kakhulu: bhaka, u-grill noma umusi, kodwa noma kunjalo ungathosi.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, akufanelekile inkukhu yamademoni. Ucwaningo lwaphambilini olwanyatheliswa e-US ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka luthole ukuthi abesifazane abalahla inyama ebomvu bevuna inkukhu basengozini ngo-28% yokuthola umdlavuza webele.
Kodwa-ke, kukhona uhlu oluphelele lwemikhiqizo esefakazelwe kakade: yandisa ngempela ingozi yomdlavuza. Ungajwayelana nayo kusixhumanisi.
