Nasopharyngeal cancer is cancer that originates from epithelial cells in the nasopharyngeal cavity behind the nose and behind the ceiling of the oral cavity. Fish sauce contains nitrosamines which are carcinogenic (cancer-triggering substances.) This is because in the process of salting, sunlight reacts with nitrite (the reshuffle of protein) in fish flesh, thus forming nitrosamine compounds. In the area of South China is predominantly fishermen and almost every day to eat salted fish was the incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer is very high. And the main originator of salted fish.
