Reducing Your Risk of Breast Cancer: The Link Between Ultra-Processed Foods and Cancer Development

Although breast cancer has a higher cure rate than other cancers, it is still considered a dangerous cancer because it is difficult to treat and often recurs when discovered at a late stage. There are many known ways to help prevent breast cancer, but it is especially important to reduce your daily intake of ultra-processed foods. Ultra-processed foods refer to foods whose raw ingredients cannot be easily identified and that contain additives such as preservatives, oil, sugar, salt, coloring, and flavoring. According to Harvard Health Publishing, published by Harvard Medical School in the United States, representative ultra-processed foods include processed meat, donuts, frozen pizza, white bread, cookies, microwave ready-to-eat foods, and carbonated drinks.

A research team from Imperial College London examined the link between consumption of ultra-processed foods and the development of cancer among 197,426 adults aged 40 to 69 registered in the UK Biobank. The research team followed the participants’ eating habits and incidence of 34 types of cancer for 10 years. As a result, for every 10% increase in ultra-processed food intake, overall cancer incidence increased by 2% and ovarian cancer incidence increased by 19%. Additionally, for every 10% increase in ultra-processed food consumption, overall cancer mortality increased by 6%, breast cancer mortality increased by 16%, and ovarian cancer mortality increased by 30%. The research team analyzed that harmful substances or artificial additives generated during the process of processing and packaging food at high temperatures cause cancer. In particular, the reason why the risk of ovarian cancer and breast cancer is high is believed to be because ultra-processed foods have high energy density and contain a large amount of sugar and fat. “Ultra-processed foods cause numerous diseases, including obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer, which can lead to early death,” said Dr. Kiaran Chang from Imperial College London, who led the study. “For health, eat flour, sugar, etc. “You should also reduce your intake of refined carbohydrates,” he said. This study was recently published in ‘EClinical Medicine,’ an online journal of the British medical journal Lancet.​ The International Agency for Research on Cancer also conducted a survey of 1,050 premenopausal women aged 20 to 45. As a result, a study published in ‘BMJ Nutrition, Prevention, and Health’ in 2021 found that a 20% increase in calories consumed from ultra-processed foods doubles the risk of breast cancer.

“Until we have a clearer picture of the mechanisms that link consumption of ultra-processed foods and poor health, it is important to reduce our intake of ultra-processed foods and eat minimally processed foods,” said Dr. Kiaran Jang. “There is a simple way to identify ultra-processed foods.” “The way is to look at the food ingredient list,” he said. “If we hear of food additives, emulsifiers, modified starches, flavor enhancers, high-fructose corn syrup, or anything else we’re not familiar with or don’t typically use in our home cooking, it’s likely an ultra-processed food,” he said. “These long products are also likely to be ultra-processed foods, so we need to be careful,” he said.
