Recent research has shown that not just Nutella, but many other foods and beverages influence the risk of cancer among Americans. According to Michael Greger, the NutritionFacts founder, many chronic diseases are influenced by two primary factors: lifestyle and diet.
More precisely, both account for 80 percent of the source of any severe condition. The researchers discovered in recent years that many widely-popular foods could lead to cancer and several other potentially deadly conditions.
Based on the latest findings, it looks like palm oil contains a carcinogenic contaminant. This edible oil is used in Nutella and other foods. Last year, the WHO officials announced that processed meats, such as ham, bacon, and hot dogs, can lead to colorectal cancer.
Plus, red meat might also influence this risk. Another group of experts came to the conclusion that alcohol can lead to seven types of cancers. According to the scientists, the highest cancer prevalence is among heavy drinkers.
However, people who consume moderate and low amounts of alcohol are also at risk. According to registered dietitian Angie Murad, although many studies link certain foods to cancer, it doesn’t necessarily mean that consuming them is bad altogether.
Plus, many people get confused, and they no longer know what foods they should avoid. Therefore, Murad believes that Americans should improve their lifestyle and adopt healthier dietary habits.
She also says that based on the WHO statistics, our average lifetime likelihood of developing colon cancer is just five percent. Plus, there are other factors which might contribute to the development of this condition, including the overall quality of our eating style and genetics.
Nevertheless, Murad notes that even if bacon is not an unhealthy food, it becomes dangerous if we consume it on a daily basis. She underlines that people who want to prevent chronic diseases and cancer should be careful with all their lifestyle decisions, not just with some particular foods which might be related to cancer.
As such, she recommends people to be more physically active during the day. Also, Americans shouldn’t focus on consuming starches and meat, but on whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and other healthy foods.
Achieving a healthy weight is not hard as long as you make the right decisions regarding your lifestyle and diet excepting the people who have a chronic disease or metabolic disorders which prevent them from losing weight.
