Re: Eating bread "raises cancer risk"? <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>People who eat a lot of bread are at greater risk of kidney cancer, Italian research has suggested. The study of more than 2,300 people also claimed pasta and rice could moderately raise the risk, while vegetables and poultry reduced it. Cancer Research UK said it was the first time such a claim had been made and warned people not to be alarmed. A spokesman for the charity said smoking and being overweight were the only well-established avoidable causes. More than 6,600 people are diagnosed with kidney cancer each year in the UK. Lifestyle and diet In the study, researchers from the Institute of Pharmacological Research in Milan, matched each of the 767 adults with kidney cancer with two control patients, who did not have the disease. They then looked at their personal and family medical history, lifestyle and diet over the past two years. The scientists were trying to discover which foods increased the risk of renal cell carcinoma. The research, published in the International Journal of Cancer, found patients who ate more bread had a higher risk of kidney cancer. It said there was a modest rise in the risk with pasta and rice, but a reduction among patients who ate more poultry, processed meat, and vegetables, whether raw or cooked. Other products, including coffee, tea, eggs, red meat, fish, cheese, potatoes and fruit, appeared to have no bearing. The report suggested the high glycaemic index of bread, pasta and rice could be a factor in raising the risk. High GI foods raise blood sugar levels dramatically which is thought could feed the growth of tumours in some way. But Ed Yong, of Cancer Research UK, said the study involved patients remembering what they had eaten over two years which could have led to inaccuracies. "So, we will need more evidence from much larger studies before we can say if this link is real," he said. "At the moment, the only well-established avoidable causes of kidney cancer are being overweight or obese, which accounts for one in four cases, and smoking, which accounts for one in five cases."</div> - Source - Probably another one of those salmon things... but it was interesting. It's total BS though if you ask me.And as for the bold, we asians are dead.
Re: Eating bread "raises cancer risk"? Well, I do know that white bread, or anything that is bleached...because bread is not originally made white...the flour is bleached to be white...so the bleach might have to do something with that. Same goes for pastas, and all other carbs like that.
Re: Eating bread "raises cancer risk"? Why are they bleached for anyway? This sucks, I'm Iranian so we eat a lot of rice. I also always have bread and pasta is one of my favorite things to eat.
Re: Eating bread "raises cancer risk"? Well we humans have had grains our whole life; it maybe what they do to them but I don't think it is even that serious.Or maybe I'm being optimistic
Re: Eating bread "raises cancer risk"? Everything gives you cancer these days - I think worrying about cancer gives you cancer.

Re: Eating bread "raises cancer risk"? In that case, I have a huge risk of getting cancer then. I love bread.
Re: Eating bread "raises cancer risk"? I agree with clangus. This is bullsh**. They just say a new food gives you cancer every year.

Wow.Yeah, it's just an observational study. I wouldn't take it too too seriously. There's a lot of room for mistake there.
Re: Eating bread "raises cancer risk"? Some girl told me that writing on your hand with pen caused cancer. Then my mom told me that microwaving food in plastic plates causes cancer. It's all BS.
Re: Eating bread "raises cancer risk"? I heard a smoker say once that the cigerette logo on the side of smokes is what causes cancer- not the cigerette. ROFL
Re: Eating bread "raises cancer risk"? lol clangus... yo but it could be the over intake of yeast. High fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated soybean oil are not very good to intake especially high fructose corn syrup thats in a lot of foods. Best to eat homeade breads not them factory breads. But its true don't worry about it but take note...never seen someone curse out bread lol

Re: Eating bread "raises cancer risk"? In Japan, they?ve got a diet that is low in fat and theyhave less heart disease than the US.While in France, the diet is very high in fat, and they also have less heart disease than in the US.In India, almost nobody drinks red wine and the heart disease rate is lower than in the US.But in Spain, everybody drinks too much red wine and sure enough they have less heartdisease than the US.Algeria has the lowest sexual activity rate, and they?ve got less heart disease than in the US.But Brazil has the highest sexual activity rate and sure enough?the heart disease ratio is lower than in the US.So what does this mean? Drink, eat and make merry all you want. It?sspeaking English that kills you. :rock: :shok:
