Healthy eating is now receiving attention, especially breakfast, which is crucial for vitality. Japanese cancer expert Professor Sato Norihiro warns that certain common breakfast foods may increase the risk of pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, and breast cancer. He points out that refined carbohydrates, processed meats, and high-fat dairy products require special attention. Excessive consumption of refined carbohydrates like bread and white rice may lead to blood sugar fluctuations and inflammation, increasing cancer risk. Processed meats such as ham and sausages contain class 1 carcinogens, and excessive intake may elevate the risk of colorectal cancer. High-fat dairy products may affect the recurrence rate of colorectal cancer, so it is advisable to choose low-fat products in moderation to reduce risk.

Healthy eating has become an important concern for modern individuals, especially breakfast, which is regarded as the main source of energy for the day. However, experts point out that many common breakfast choices may increase the risk of certain cancers, sparking heated discussions in society.

• Three Major Breakfast Warning Foods

According to reports, many people's habitual breakfast foods harbor health risks, including refined carbohydrates, processed meats, and high-fat dairy products. These foods require special caution to avoid increasing the risk of cancer.

• The Dangers of Refined Carbohydrates

Research indicates that excessive consumption of refined carbohydrates such as bread, white rice, and noodles may lead to rapid spikes in blood sugar, and over time may cause excessive insulin secretion, triggering cell inflammation, and increasing the risk of pancreatic, colorectal, liver, and breast cancer.

• Health Concerns of Processed Meats

Processed meats such as bacon, ham, and sausages often contain sodium nitrite during production, which is considered a Group 1 carcinogen. However, not all processed meats are carcinogenic; rather, the risk increases with excessive consumption. Experts recommend that daily intake of processed meats exceeding 50 grams increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 18%.

• The Impact of High-Fat Dairy Products

According to a study involving 2,000 colorectal cancer patients, those who consumed low-fat dairy products had a 40% lower risk of cancer recurrence; conversely, patients who increased their intake of regular dairy products saw a 60% increase in recurrence risk. Therefore, experts suggest moderate consumption of high-fat dairy products.

Excessive consumption of processed meats like bacon, ham, and sausages may increase the risk of cancer.

• Other Health Recommendations

In daily life, attention should be paid to food choices and maintaining a balanced diet to reduce the risk of cancer.
