[UltimaOnline]

Don't trust the TCM nonsense about cold / yin is bad, hot / yang is good, especially when it comes to food & drink.

Medical science has already shown that eating hot foods and drinking hot drinks causes DNA damage to the mouth, throat, oesophagus, eventually resulting in cancer (ie. high temperatures providing activation energies for genetic mutations activating proto-oncogenes and deactivating tumour suppressor genes).

Yet so many China pple still religiously believe in TCM nonsense such as cold / yin is bad, hot / yang is good.

Puked blood after feeling nauseous
According to Beijing Youth Daily, the woman, surnamed Zhang, started feeling pain in her throat and chest after having hot pot with her friends on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, 2019.
She also felt like there was something stuck in her throat whenever she swallowed her food.
The discomfort persisted even after she returned home.

Furthermore, she started feeling nauseous, and even vomited a mouthful of blood.
But thinking her throat might have simply been injured by some kind of bone or charred rice crust that she ate, Zhang thought nothing of it.
Puked blood again
After a night’s rest, Zhang’s condition did not improve.
Her throat still felt strange the next day, and she even had trouble swallowing her saliva.
She also vomited blood again that night which prompted her to go to the hospital the next day on Dec. 26, 2019.
22cm long ulcer discovered in oesophagus
After hearing what happened to Zhang after a hot pot meal, the doctor at the hospital thought her oesophagus might have been scalded by the hot food she ate.
He then recommended her to go for an endoscopy to check her oesophagus and stomach.

The check-up revealed that she had a 22cm long ulcer along her oesophagus.

Advised not to eat hot food too quickly

The doctor also advised Zhang not to consume hot food and drinks too quickly as not only can it hurt the food pipe, such a habit can even lead to cancer in the long term.

According to the International Agency For Research On Cancer (IARC), consuming hot food and drinks of temperature over 65 °C increases the risk of mouth, throat and oesophageal cancer.

Chinese won't listen as their culture is 5000 years old and they are more clever than anyone else.
If you tell them rhino horn has no medicinal value, they will say you are stupid.

So the issue is with piping hot food and not spicy food correct?

The woman ate something that scalded her insides. This has nothing to do with TCM's heaty/cooling food properties.

yes. food that is too hot (temperature) WILL cause cancer. Spicy just cause lau sai.
