Diets high in plant-based foods, low in processed foods, may help reduce cancer risk
Briefly

"Nearly a quarter of new cancer cases could be prevented with better nutrition."
"Giovannucci suggested that people starting to make dietary changes focus on consuming healthier proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. He defined these as lean meats and plant-based proteins like legumes; plant-based fats such as avocados and olive oil; and whole grains, vegetables, and fruits."
"Chronic inflammation may be another important way that diet impacts cancer risk, Giovannucci and Rebbeck said. Diets high in sugar, refined carbs, and processed foods can trigger chronic inflammation throughout the body. This can affect levels of insulin and a hormone called insulin-like growth factor (IGF)."
