A health expert has revealed 3 foods that can lead to cancer over time.
Dr. Mindy Beals warned against eating sugar, foods rich in chemicals, and processed meats, saying: “Processed meats contain dangerous chemicals.”
She pointed to sugary breakfast cereals and other snacks, explaining that they are full of chemical and "toxic" oils.
While sugar has not been classified “per se” as a direct cause of cancer, Beals highlighted its link to obesity. She revealed that excessive sugar intake, especially from processed foods, can lead to obesity, which is a major risk factor for cancer.
"Obesity generators turn our stem cells into fat cells (stem cells can go anywhere in the body and can fix anything)," she added.
She warns that the more fat-causing substances you have in your body, the more stem cells are reprogrammed into fat cells. “These massive influxes of chemicals contribute to obesity, especially in young people,” she warns.
There is a well-established link between obesity and the risk of cancer, with research showing that excess body fat can increase the likelihood of developing various types of cancer, such as colon and rectal cancer, postmenopausal breast cancer, uterine cancer, esophageal cancer, kidney cancer, and pancreatic cancer.
