"Uncovering the Link: How Diet Contributes to Increased Cancer Risk"

Oncology dietitian Nichole Andrews shared on TikTok that processed meats and alcohol are the only two things that increase the risk of developing cancer, while debunking misconceptions about other foods. Processed meats, including bacon and cold cuts, are linked to stomach and colorectal cancer due to nitrates and high processing temperatures, while alcohol, including all types of alcoholic drinks, is associated with increased cancer risk. Andrews also clarified that energy drinks, non-organic produce, food dyes, diet sodas, artificial sweeteners, eggs, dairy, and gluten are not known to cause cancer.
