These foods cause colon cancer in men

If men actively consume ultra-processed foods, then their risk of developing colorectal cancer increases by 30%. Such a sad conclusion was reached by scientists from Harvard University.

In any store, you can now buy pilaf, borscht, roast with mushrooms, beef strogan, pasta with meat and a huge number of other ready-to-eat dishes. Just put them in the microwave for a couple of minutes, and you already have a dish that would normally take you over an hour to prepare.

For many men, especially singles or those with busy schedules , this is a very convenient and obvious choice. However, a new study has shown that regular consumption of ultra-processed foods increases the risk of colorectal cancer in men by almost 30%.

At the same time, American researchers did not find such a connection among women. It has been established that ready meals with meat are very harmful to human health. Especially if they use sausage, bacon, ham and fish cutlets. But if a man also washes it all down with sugary and carbonated drinks, the risk of cancer increases even more.

Consumption of processed foods has long been associated with many short-term and long-term health problems because how these products are prepared. They add a large amount of salt and other harmful preservatives, as well as various ingredients that are not used in home cooking.

To reduce the risk of dangerous colorectal cancer, men should undergo regular colonoscopy. This is an examination that detects abnormalities in the colon and abdomen. Of course, it cannot be called a pleasant procedure, but with its help you can detect everything that is happening in your intestines in order to take measures in time.
