During the study, researchers analyzed the effects of various foods and beverages on the possible development of gastric cancer. Experts compared data from a study conducted in Italy between 1997 and 2007, which involved 230 people with confirmed gastric cancer and 547 people in the control group hospitalized for acute neoplastic diseases.
The researchers noted that a “direct link” to the risk of stomach cancer was observed for cereals. Conversely, reverse trends in risk were observed in the consumption of vegetables and fruits.
The researchers concluded that the results of the study confirm the protective role of fruits and vegetables against gastric cancer and indicate the detrimental effects of refined grains on this tumor.
Refined products include cakes, desserts, white bread, pasta, cupcakes, sweet or savory cookies, refined breakfast cereals, white rice, pancakes, waffles and pizza.
On the topic
Vadym Korpyak, head of the diagnostic and interventional endoscopy department at the Israeli Oncology Hospital LISOD, spoke about how colorectal cancer is linked to food.
According to him, colorectal cancer is most common in people who eat little fiber but a lot of meat. In general, the risk of cancer does not arise from single dietary errors, but from poor nutrition for a long time.
