🧬🚫 Understanding Cancer Risks & Myths: A Guide from Your Cancer Dietitian 🚫🧬

Let’s talk about some important aspects of our diet that can influence cancer risk. Knowledge is power, and understanding what helps and what harms can make a huge difference in our journey to health.

🚫 What Increases Cancer Risk:
1. Alcohol: Regular consumption can increase the risk of several cancers, including breast, liver, and colorectal cancer. Limiting intake is crucial for lowering these risks.
2. Processed Meats: Products like bacon, sausage, and deli meats are classified as carcinogenic. Frequent consumption is linked to higher risks of colorectal cancer.
🍭 Sugary Beverages & Excess Weight:
* High sugary drinks can easily lead to excessive calorie intake, resulting in increased adipose tissue (body fat). This excess fat is linked to an increased risk of 13 different cancers, including breast, endometrial, and pancreatic cancer. Reducing sugary beverage intake is a key step in maintaining a healthy weight and lowering cancer risk.

🌿 What Does NOT Increase Cancer Risk:
1. Artificial Sweeteners & Diet Sodas: Current research shows no strong evidence linking them to cancer.
2. Coffee: Enjoy your morning cup! Coffee has been shown to have protective effects against certain cancers.
3. Sugar & Tea: These, in moderation, are not linked to cancer.
4. Dairy: Consuming dairy does not increase cancer risk.
🥛 Plant Milks & Red Meats:
* Plant Milks: Safe to consume but often lower in protein compared to dairy. Ensure you get enough protein from other sources.
* Red Meats: Safe when consumed in moderation. Aim for no more than 18 ounces per week to keep your risk low.
🌾 Whole Grains:
* Whole grains are your friends! They help reduce the risk of colon and breast cancer. Incorporate more whole grains like oats, brown rice, and quinoa into your diet.
