A nutritionist warned about the risks of eating chopsticks during the World Cup: "It's dangerous"

Nutritionist Nadia Hrycyk warned during an appearance on LN+ about the health risks associated with consuming processed meats like those found in typical Argentine 'picadas' (meat platters), especially during the World Cup. She highlighted that processed meats contain high levels of preservatives and colorants, which have been classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as Group 1 carcinogens—placing them in the same category as tobacco and asbestos. Hrycyk emphasized that frequent consumption of these foods increases the risk of colorectal cancer, particularly due to compounds like nitrosamines. She recommended increasing fiber intake through fruits, vegetables, nuts, and certain types of rice to protect the intestinal lining. Additionally, she clarified that cold pasta does not act as fiber but helps regulate blood sugar levels. The nutritionist advised moderation and careful selection of ingredients to maintain a balanced diet.
