Oral Cancer Risk Could Be Raised by This Common Food
- A study of more than 450,000 adults found that every additional 30 grams of processed meat consumed daily was associated with a 9% higher risk of gastric cancer and a 13% higher risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma
- People who ate the most processed meat had a 46% higher risk of gastric cancer and more than double the risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma compared to those who ate the least
- Research on oral cancer found that smoked, fried, roasted, and other heavily heat-treated meats were linked to greater risk, with smoked meat emerging as the strongest independent risk factor
- High-temperature cooking creates compounds called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) — compounds identified as mutagenic and carcinogenic that may damage DNA and contribute to the cancer process over time
- Replacing processed meats with minimally processed protein sources, choosing gentler cooking methods, and building meals around vegetables may help reduce long-term exposure to dietary compounds associated with cancer risk
