Expert reveals the same food found in 80% of colon cancer patients’ stomachs
Like many other illnesses or diseases, you can do things to reduce your risk. That, of course, differs from case to case, but when it comes to colon cancer, one oncologist with 17 years of experience has now shared something remarkable.
While alcohol and red meat have been revealed as risk indicators, Dr Tim Titutan, a US-based doctor with a background in cancer research, says that there is one specific category of food that will increase the risk.
Speaking with GB News, Titutan claimed that 80 percent of the people he operated on have eaten either sausages, hot dogs, or smoked and processed meats.
“Processing meat, such as through curing, smoking, salting, or chemical preservation, results in the formation of carcinogenic chemicals called Noc and Pah,” he said.
“A study was done showing that eating 50 grams of processed meat a day increased, the risk of colorectal cancer by 18 percent I am not vegetarian, but I do make conscious decisions to lower the amount of processed meat I eat.”
Ultra-processed food “responsible” for many health problems
The World Health Organization classifies processed meat as a Group 1 carcinogen, putting it in the same category as tobacco, alcohol, asbestos and radioactive plutonium.
Another expert, NHS doctor Chris van Tulleken, explained: “There is a decade of evidence now that is extremely clear that it is ultra-processed food that is responsible, not just for pandemic weight gain and obesity, but also for a long list of other health problems, including early death.”
Many health experts believe a poor diet and a high intake of ultra-processed foods can increase the risk of illnesses such as colon cancer. The growing popularity of these foods among young people may help explain why more patients under 40 are now being diagnosed.
