Family members, this type of dish could potentially cause cancer, I really advise you to eat less of it!

Eating pickled vegetables frequently can have the following hazards:

1. High salt content: Pickled vegetables are usually high in sodium, which can contribute to high blood pressure and other cardiovascular issues.

2. Increased risk of stomach cancer: Some studies suggest that eating pickled vegetables regularly may increase the risk of stomach cancer due to the presence of nitrites and certain preservatives.

3. Tooth enamel erosion: The high acidity in pickled vegetables can erode tooth enamel over time, leading to dental issues such as cavities and sensitivity.

It is recommended to consume pickled vegetables in moderation and pair them with a balanced diet to minimize potential health risks.
