The doctor warned about the risk of cancer due to sausages in the dough and whites

Endocrinologist and nutritionist Anton Polyakov warned about the dangers of eating sausages in dough and whites due to the risk of developing cancer.

In conversation with aif.ru On Wednesday, April 29, the specialist noted that sausages and other similar semi-finished products are not considered useful products and may increase the risk of developing cancer. According to him, the World Health Organization (WHO) considers such products as potentially carcinogenic: they contain little high-grade protein, but a lot of fats and food additives, which is why they are a "calorie bomb" with low nutritional value.

He also recalled that in 2015, processed meat was classified by WHO as a carcinogen of the first group, along with tobacco and asbestos. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, regular consumption of such products increases the risk of colorectal cancer by about 18%, and frying in oil further increases the harm due to the formation of carcinogens.

The expert stressed that even the rare use of such products does not go unnoticed, and with regular inclusion in the diet can pose a serious threat to health.

Injections complement standard therapy, forming a comprehensive approach to cancer treatment.

Oncologist Violetta Purtskhvanidze told on April 27 how to reduce the risk of cancer. According to her, it is important to collect information about the diseases of relatives. Such data will help the doctor understand which tests the patient needs to take to eliminate possible risks, notes 360.ru . When assessing risks, it is important to take into account not only the next of kin, but also the medical history of grandparents, aunts, and uncles.

Earlier in April, Veronika Skvortsova, head of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency (FMBA) of Russia, said that two new colorectal cancer vaccines were well tolerated by patients without side effects. She explained that both vaccines are prescribed to patients with metastatic colorectal cancer after at least two courses of chemotherapy, the Moscow City News Agency reports.

In September, Anton Polyakov warned that regular consumption of sausage products increases the risk of developing cancer. He advised to choose beef tongue instead of sausage, as it is more useful.
