Ultra-Processed Foods and Cooking Oils Linked to Rising Colon Cancer Risk
TL;DR Summary
Researchers at USF Health and Tampa General Hospital Cancer Institute have found a potential link between ultra-processed foods in the Western diet and increased colorectal cancer risk due to chronic inflammation. Funded by a $3.1 million NIH grant, the study highlights how these foods hinder the body's healing processes, promoting tumor growth. The research suggests a new approach called resolution medicine, focusing on diet changes to reduce inflammation and enhance natural healing, potentially revolutionizing cancer treatment.
