smoked oysters

[Guest guest]

I did a search on this but can't find anything. Are smoked oysters

okay? What about other smoked fish - like salmon? I remember reading

something about " no " but can't find it and now want to be sure I don't

eat the candida-feeding stuff. If not, please explain!

Thanks,

Zoë

==>You should avoid anything that is smoked. Smoking foods creates

carcinogenic substances and also tends to grow more molds and fungi.

Here's one reference:

http://www.purlife.com/Stomach.htm

" The people in Iceland eat a lot of smoked fish and smoked meat.

Investigating 1,600 deaths caused by stomach cancer, the highest

incidence correlated with the consumption of smoked meat. The

carcinogen in smoked meat is called 3-4 benzopyrine. The amount of

this carcinogen in 1 lb of smoked mutton equals that in 250

cigarettes. In the coal mining areas of Utah, USA, miners have three

times the stomach cancer of non-miners, and eight times the incidence

of people in non-mining areas.

The barbecuing of meat has been strongly suspected for years now.

Tests on 25 rats fed smoked meat showed they developed tumors and 21

died in 90 days. Nitrates and nitrites are used as preservatives of

processed meats, ham, bacon, frankfurts etc. Much of the nitrates'

effectiveness depends on its conversion by bacteria into nitrite. The

permitted level of nitrite in the USA is 0.2%. Nitrites can be

changed in the stomach to nitrosamines, some of which are

carcinogens. These have been observed to cause cancer in all

laboratory animals. It should be remembered that preservatives work

by inhibiting the function of enzymes, and therefore the consumption

of preserved foods must inevitably lead to the depletion of enzyme

activity in the body.

Researchers at the University of Nevada have found that

nitrosamines did not occur in the presence of ascorbic acid (Vitamin

C). "
