Prevent Breast Cancer by Avoiding This Food

Breast cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer in women. Although it is not known exactly what causes it, experts in the health sector to find some foods that become triggers or materials 'food' for cancer cells to grow.

1. Sugar
   A study in Italy published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed a correlation of glycemic index with breast cancer. And sugar is one of the foods with high glycemic index kadaar. Foods with a high glycemic index are foods that have a significant impact on blood sugar. As the blood sugar rises, the body releases the insulin hormone. When the level of insulin in the blood is high, this will increase the free estrogen levels in circulation. When insulin and estrogen levels attach to the receptor, this will trigger the acceleration of cell division, including cancer cells.
   In addition to sugar, artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose can also increase the risk of breast cancer. Inside the sweetener contains insulin, and as described above, high insulin levels will increase the levels of circulating free estrogen, thus triggering the acceleration of cell division.

2. Roast Meat
   Baking meat is considered to be one of the healthiest ways of processing meat, but not for cancer. Therefore, bake meat protein with high temperature can increase the heterocyclic amine (HCAs), which is a cancer-causing compound.

3. Animal fats
   Saturated fat in animal products can lead to increased levels of estrogen and prolactin, which can cause cancer, especially breast cancer.

4. Dairy products
   One of these chemicals is often given to livestock, especially rGBH. These chemicals can accelerate and increase milk production in cows. Milk produced from cows that absorb chemical compounds had high growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels. Growth factor is what governs the differentiation and division of cells in the body, so it can increase the risk of breast cancer, especially in those who have cancer cells.
   Experts have also found a link between high calcium intake and cancer development. This is because milk products are rich in calcium and can lower the hormone, by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. This hormone is in charge of protecting a person from cancer cells.

5. Canned food
   All cans used to store food are made from chemicals called bisphenol-A or BPA. Even small exposure to BPA may increase the risk of breast cancer, prostate cancer, infertility, early puberty, metabolic disorders and type 2 diabetes. It is advisable to buy fresh ingredients from the market instead of choosing cans.

6. Bread
   Bread has usually been mixed with potassium bromate which has the potential as a carcinogen. This is one of the foods that tend to cause cancer.
