It is popular in Korean dramas and also in cancer

The once popular Korean drama "My Love from the Star" made people feel that beer and fried chicken were a perfect match, but in fact, beer and fried chicken are a death warrant. Why do I say so? Take a look and you will know.

According to existing epidemiological studies, in addition to being related to lifestyle factors such as mental stress and staying up late, breast cancer is also a cancer that is closely related to food structure. Girls who like to eat these foods are prone to breast cancer. Let’s learn about it.

These five types of women are prone to breast cancer

1. Women who like to cook, fry and eat high-fat food are more likely to develop breast cancer than women who eat a light diet.

Excessive fat content in the diet is related to many cancers, such as kidney cancer, lung cancer, and breast cancer. There are many theories about the harm of fat, such as the high concentration of environmental pollutants in animal fat, the carcinogenic effect of fat promoting chemical carcinogens, and the trans fatty acids and fat oxidation polymers contained in high-temperature heated fats.

2. Women who eat a lot of fried meat and processed meat products (such as sausages, ham, bacon, bacon, etc.) are more likely to develop breast cancer than women who eat less meat and only eat fresh meat cooked at low temperature (such as steaming, boiling, and stewing).

Meat increases cancer risk when eaten in larger amounts. In addition to containing animal protein and animal fat, pink processed meat products also have an additional danger compared to fresh meat. The nitrite added when marinating the meat will combine with the protein decomposition products in the meat to form the carcinogen nitrosamine. Although the amount is small, the risks of regular consumption over years cannot be ignored.

3. Women who eat very little soybeans (soybeans, black beans) and soy products (such as tofu, dried tofu, soy milk, etc.) are more likely to develop breast cancer than women who eat more of these foods.

According to current epidemiological research results, there is a negative correlation between the intake of soy foods and the risk of breast cancer in Asian women. Research results conducted in populations in China, Japan, Singapore and other countries have consistently shown that a Westernized dietary pattern of meat and sweets has a higher risk of breast cancer than a traditional Asian diet of eating more vegetables and soy products.

4. Women who eat more refined white rice and refined white flour are more likely to develop breast cancer than women who eat more whole grains.

Research data show that, excluding other factors, the higher the glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) of the diet, the greater the risk of breast cancer. At the same time, a summary analysis found that a diet with higher GL and GI also increases the risk of colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer.

5. Women who drink a lot are more likely to develop breast cancer than women who drink less.

Alcohol is a strong carcinogen that not only increases the carcinogenicity of poisons, but also reduces the body's ability to detoxify carcinogens.

How can women prevent breast cancer?

To prevent breast cancer, in addition to choosing the low-risk diet structure mentioned above, you should also try to do the following.

1. Replace some red meat with fish cooked with less oil.

Studies have shown that the proportion of fatty acids in the diet is related to the risk of breast cancer. When the proportion of omega-3 fatty acids in fish increases, the risk of breast cancer is lower. The reason may be that omega-3 fatty acids have the effect of regulating certain cytokines to reduce inflammatory responses, especially DHA and EPA, which have the effect of inhibiting angiogenesis and help slow down the proliferation of cancer cells.

2. Replace part of the cooking oil from soybean oil, corn oil, peanut oil, etc. with tea seed oil, low-erucic acid rapeseed oil and olive oil.

Currently, most of the oils commonly used in cooking in China are high in omega-6 fatty acids (linoleic acid). For example, the linoleic acid content of soybean oil and corn oil are both over 50% or even higher. The linoleic acid content of peanut oil is slightly lower, but also close to 40%. Tea seed oil, low-erucic acid rapeseed oil and olive oil are all oils rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, in which the content of omega-6 fatty acids is less than 20%, and they are also better in heat resistance during cooking and heating (non-virgin olive oil can be used for cooking).

3. Eat more dark green and orange-yellow vegetables, as well as orange-yellow fruits (such as citrus fruits).

Most dark green and orange-yellow vegetables and fruits are rich in carotenoids. A systematic analysis and meta-analysis of relevant studies found that the higher the concentration of carotenoids in the blood, the lower the risk of breast cancer. Other studies have found a negative correlation between citrus fruit intake and breast cancer risk. There are many factors in fruits and vegetables that are beneficial to cancer risk, including dietary fiber, carotenoids, polyphenols and multiple vitamins.

4. Eat more cruciferous vegetables (such as cabbage, broccoli, etc.).

In addition to the polyphenols and multivitamins mentioned above that help prevent cancer, the glucosinolates in cruciferous vegetables also have a definite anti-cancer effect.
