Healthy eating has become important in modern times, especially breakfast is regarded as the key to energy for the day. 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 reminds the public to be aware of three major hazardous foods, including refined carbohydrates, processed meats, and high-fat dairy products. Sato points out that excessive intake of refined carbohydrates such as white rice and bread may lead to elevated blood sugar levels, which over time increases cancer risk. Processed meats like bacon and sausages contain class I carcinogens; excessive consumption may elevate the risk of colorectal cancer. Additionally, studies show that the intake of low-fat dairy products can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer recurrence, while high-fat dairy products increase the likelihood of recurrence, calling for the public to use these in moderation.

Healthy eating is gradually becoming a key focus for modern individuals, especially breakfast, which is crucial as a source of energy for the day. However, a well-known cancer expert from Japan has issued a warning, indicating that certain common breakfast foods may increase the risk of pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, and breast cancer, sparking widespread social discussion.

Three major pitfalls to watch out for at breakfast:

• Refined carbohydrates: Frequent consumption of foods like bread, white rice, and noodles can lead to rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, and over time may promote excess insulin secretion in the body, triggering inflammatory responses and increasing the risk of various types of cancer.
• Processed meats: Foods such as bacon, ham, sausage, and beef jerky often contain harmful additives that pose health risks. Consuming more than 50 grams of processed meat daily may increase the risk of colorectal cancer.
• High-fat dairy products: Research indicates that patients who regularly consume low-fat dairy products have a reduced risk of colorectal cancer recurrence, while those who consume regular dairy products may see an increased risk of recurrence. Therefore, moderate intake of high-fat dairy products is recommended.

Based on the above expert research recommendations, the public should remain vigilant and make reasonable choices regarding breakfast foods to maintain health.
