Taiwanese women's cancer incidence rate ranks first! The latest research reveals that commonly used cooking oils may promote breast cancer tumor growth.
The most common cancer among women in Taiwan is breast cancer, with "triple-negative breast cancer" being particularly difficult to treat. Recently, an associate professor from Stanford University in the United States pointed out in a study that foods containing omega-6 fatty acids may promote the growth of triple-negative breast cancer. The research shows that the levels of FABP5 are higher in these cancer cells, which can enhance the signaling pathways that promote tumor growth. Experts warn that foods high in ω-6 fatty acids in Western diets may increase the risk of tumor development, and it is recommended that women pay attention to their diet and undergo regular breast examinations.
