We all think vegetables are always healthy — but not all are safe if eaten the wrong way. Some vegetables, when stored or cooked incorrectly, can produce harmful toxins that may increase the risk of cancer.
1. Rotten Potatoes – When potatoes turn green or sprout, they produce solanine, a toxic substance that can harm your nervous system and digestive tract. Eating them often can be dangerous for long-term health.
2. Moldy Corn – Corn stored in damp conditions can develop aflatoxins, one of the most powerful cancer-causing substances. Even a small amount can be harmful over time.
3. Pickled Vegetables Stored Too Long – Traditional pickled veggies may contain nitrosamines, which have been linked to stomach cancer if eaten in excess.
How to protect yourself? Always buy fresh produce, store it properly, and throw away any that looks spoiled.
