Al-Marsad newspaper: A recent British study sheds light on the dangerous effects of eating pizza, burgers and processed foods, confirming that a lot of them increases the risk of bowel cancer by up to 29%.
And the British newspaper “Daily Express” reported, Thursday, that these foods contain a high percentage of salt and fat, which increases the possibility of developing a group of conditions that affect the cardiovascular system, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other types of heart disease, and it may also increase The risk of developing cancer is common in men.
Scientists warn that ultra-processed foods can increase the risk of colorectal cancer – also known as bowel cancer – in men by about 29%.
The study highlights the long-term health impact of consuming this type of food and how it can increase the risk of one of the most common types of cancer.
“We started to think that colorectal cancer could be the most diet-affected type of cancer compared to other cancers,” said study lead author Dr. Lu Wang. “Processed meat, most of which falls into the ultra-processed food category, is a strong risk factor for colorectal cancer,” he said.
Ultra-processed foods are also high in added sugars and low in fiber, which contributes to weight gain and obesity, which is a consistent risk factor for colorectal cancer.”
