We know today thatan unbalanced diet promotes the appearance of cancer. Thus, as the Léon Bérard cancer center explains, “consumption of certain foods (…) was associated with a high level of evidence with increased risk (…) to develop certain cancers in healthy people.“
Eat better = protect yourself against cancer
Experts even believe that 5.4% of cancers are due to an unbalanced dietwhich represents nearly 19,000 new cases each year which could be avoided by adopting better eating habits!
In a video published on TikTok, the American dietitian-nutritionist Nichole Andrews (who specializes in oncology) shines the spotlight on two foods that you absolutely must stop consuming to protect yourself against cancer:alcohol and the ultra-processed meats. “These are the only two foods that you should really avoid at all costs. Sugar, fat, soda… are not as harmful!” she believes.
In the category “ultra-processed meats“, we find in particular kebabs, tacos, nuggets, hot dogs, pizzas… industrial, but also canned meats, cold meats (particularly when they are industrial: bacon, sausages. ..) or dishes prepared with meat (lasagna or ready-made shepherd’s pie, for example).
Alcohol and ultra-processed meats should be avoided absolutely!
“These meats increase the risk of colon cancer because they generally contain nitrites which can turn into carcinogenic compounds during the digestion process” underlines the dietician-nutritionist.
As for alcohol, it is already a well-known enemy. “From 1 glass of alcohol consumed per daythe risk of developing several cancers and other diseases increases” says the Léon Bérard center, which mentions in particular cancers of the mouth, larynx, pharynx and esophagus, but also breast cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, cervical cancer. uterus or even ovarian cancer.
