The incidence of cancer is increasing worldwide, and one of the factors that contribute to this, according to scientists, is the neglect of a healthy diet. Scientific experts have told about what types of foods can cause cancer, writes medikforum.
1. Foods with added sugar
According to data obtained by scientists from Belgium, the sugar can contribute to the growth of malignant tumor - this is due to the fact that gligoliza (glucose splitting) process encourages the multiplication of cancer cells. Researchers attribute the excessive consumption of sugar with the development of colorectal cancer, breast and bladder. At the same time completely without sugar can not: its low concentration in the blood and tissues of the brain are statistically correlated with a high risk of developing cancer of the nervous tissue.
What exactly does the need to abandon once and for all - are artificial sweeteners. Sugar substitutes, artificial colors and flavors, as well as beverages and foods which contain them can be very toxic to the body, doctors stress. Abuse of products containing sweeteners, can bring to the occurrence of cancer of the throat, esophagus, stomach.
2. Sausages
Sausage is recognized by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a product with proven carcinogenic activity - its regular use of experts associated with the development of colorectal cancer.
In addition, there is scientific evidence that the habit of eating sausage can lead to the development of breast cancer. Instead of meat products, scientists recommend to eat more often poultry or fish.
3. Foods high in fat
Regular consumption of fatty foods (especially containing trans fats and animal fat) acts as a stimulant dividing stem cells in the intestinal tissues, causing the growth of malignant tumors - is shown in experiments mice. Scientists believe that the abuse of fat triggers irreversible cell mutations that lead to the possibility of cancer, not only in the intestine, but also in other organs.
4. processed food
Many scientists say that cancer is caused by non-specific products and their method of preparation. The most dangerous in this regard ultraobrabotannaya food - a variety of bread and pastries, soft drinks, cereals and sugar, semi-finished meat products. Such foods are high in sugar, fat and salt, despite the fact that there is almost no vitamins and fiber, and the process of mastering it can provoke dangerous cellular changes.
Do not eat foods with a long shelf life.
