The expert called cancer-provoking products

Irina Merkulova, a nutritionist and associate professor of the Department of Physical Culture at GUU, told us which foods can provoke the development of cancer.

In conversation with Lenta.Ru On Friday, May 15, the specialist noted that processed meats, such as sausages, sausages, bacon and ham, are classified as group 1 carcinogens.

Merkulova noted that processed meat with regular consumption increases the risk of colon cancer. According to her, sugary carbonated drinks and juices with added sugar contribute to chronic inflammation and obesity, which increase cancer risks. She also attributed fatty sauces, industrial seasonings and ready-made dressings to potentially harmful products.

The specialist recommended replacing sausages and sausages with whole meat, drinking water instead of sweet soda and cooking sauces yourself. She stressed that trans fats, excess sugar and salt in foods are especially dangerous.

Merkulova added that obesity and low physical activity have a stronger effect on the risk of diseases than individual foods. In her opinion, it is important to adhere to a varied diet with a predominance of whole foods and to observe moderation, since even French fries remain fast food.

In April, gastroenterologist Natalia Slyunyaeva called sugar and alcohol food for cancer cells. According to her, sausages, ham, industrial pastries, margarine are also slow-killing products, notes 360.ru .

Also in April, endocrinologist and nutritionist Anton Polyakov warned about the dangers of eating sausages in dough and whites due to the risk of developing cancer. He also recalled that in 2015, processed meat was classified by WHO as a carcinogen of the first group, along with tobacco and asbestos.

In March, Olga Vidyakina, a gastroenterologist and nutritionist, warned that excessive consumption of spicy foods could increase the risk of stomach cancer due to the capsaicin content in pepper. In moderation, pepper can have a beneficial effect on digestion, helping to digest heavy foods, reports RT.

In January, nutritionist and expert on active longevity Elena Zhelyanina said that regular consumption of fried foods, processed meat, as well as sweets and pastries increases the risk of developing cancer. The risk of cancer of the stomach, intestines and pancreas, in particular, increases the consumption of chips, French fries, fast food and products with hydrogenated oils, writes NSN.

Before that, oncologist Vladimir Ivashkov urged not to buy a number of products in the store because of the risk of developing cancer. In particular, he advises against buying frozen pizza and semi-finished products, nuggets and ready-made breakfasts, the website notes. kp.ru .
