In the realm of cancer research, a groundbreaking discovery has been made by a team from the National University of Singapore. They’ve unearthed a link between a poor diet and an increased risk of cancer, specifically in individuals with elevated levels of methylglyoxal, a chemical connected to diabetes and obesity. Intriguingly, this chemical can cause DNA faults that propel cancer risk, even in individuals who don’t carry inherited cancer genes. This breakthrough challenges the conventional ‘two-hit’ paradigm of cancer prevention and underscores the vital role of diet and weight control in managing cancer risks. Published in the journal Cell, this research aims to spearhead more effective cancer prevention strategies. A poor diet, it seems, can be a hidden enemy in the battle against cancer.
