Pericolul din farfurie: Carnea procesată, legată de cancerul esofagian și gastric

A recent study indicates a significant link between processed meat consumption and an increased risk of gastric and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Researchers analyzed data from over 450,000 participants, revealing that higher intake of processed meat correlates with a 9% increased risk of gastric cancer and a 13% increased risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma for every additional 30 grams consumed daily. While no significant link was found for unprocessed red meat, an increase in white meat consumption was associated with a 20% higher risk of gastric cancer in women. The study suggests that cooking methods and protein metabolism may play a role, but further research is needed to understand these mechanisms and their implications for dietary recommendations.
