Refined and processed food, as well as food that contains a minimum of vegetables and legumes, are very dangerous for our intestines. Previously, this type of diet was already associated with an increased risk of senile dementia, chronic pain and cardiovascular disorders.

In general, the Western diet is a real disaster for modern man. This type of diet often leads to obesity, and it contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes. In the course of the latest study, its authors received information about the food preferences of more than 134,000 people.

During the observation period, 1,175 cases of intestinal tumors were detected. As the scientists found, these tumors were most often found in ardent fans of the so-called Western diet, who were addicted to all kinds of sandwiches, hot dogs and chips.

In the victims of these tumors, changes in the intestinal microbiome were detected. There is already a lot of research on the importance of maintaining the balance of this population of trillions of bacteria that live in our gastrointestinal tract.

Disruption of this balance is associated with many ailments, starting from simple eczema, ending with tumors and depressions And a new study confirmed the importance of this aspect.
