Researchers from the National University of Singapore have unveiled a potential link between junk food consumption and increased cancer risk, particularly among young individuals. The study sheds light on methylglyoxal, a compound produced in higher amounts during the digestion of sugary and fatty foods.
The research team found that methylglyoxal can temporarily disable the BRCA2 gene, crucial for the body’s cancer defense mechanism. Dr. Ashok Venkitaraman, the lead author, explained, “Methylglyoxal triggers the destruction of BRCA2 protein, reducing its levels in cells. This effect is temporary but can last long enough to inhibit the tumor-preventing function of BRCA2.”
