Largely reduced risk of developing cancer by replacing industrial food on your plate with fresh products. A study by the International Agency for Research on Cancer confirms the suspicions around ultra-processed food.

We know it because itis now common knowledge: eating better by choosing the foods we eat can optimize their benefits on our health and therefore reduce the risk of developing cancer. And it turns out that during cancer, even if diet is not a treatment in its own right, it can play a key role in contributing to well-being.
A risk of cancer and more particularly those of the ENT sphere (colon-esophagus-rectum-liver) greatly reduced.
By replacing 10% ofprocessed or ultra-processed industrial foods on our plates with fresh products, it is also our health that is better preserved. In any case, this is confirmed today by this study carried out on 450,000 people across 10 European countries.
To reach such a conclusion, the researchers cross-referenced the data on these pathologies and questioned the patients regarding their eating habits. The carcinogenic effects of junk food can be explained by the weight gain it causes, by its low nutritional value, but also by the additives and neo-transformed components it contains.
In recent decades, the consumption of ultra-processed foods has grown steadily, by 25 to 60% in developed countries.
These results might make it possible to target cancer prevention strategies. But the author of the Study explains that it remains to define “the best way to achieve this type of food transition”.
