Bread may Increase Risk of Breast Cancer?

Eat white bread and potatoes can increase the risk of developing breast cancer. As stated by scientists in a recent study conducted by the University of California, San Diego.

A study found that people who follow a diet rich in starch (starch) are more at risk for tumors than those who rarely eat starches. The researchers have not been able to explain this trend. However, they assume that the increased levels of insulin-induced 'refined carbohydrates' such as starch that can stimulate cancer cell growth.

The results showed that not only carbohydrates as a whole (which could potentially increase the risk of cancer), but mainly starch. Studies have not been able to give advice on a good diet to prevent this cancer.

At first, women's intake of carbohydrates is 233 grams per day. Researchers studied the diets of women who experienced disease recurrence following year. Women whose disease relapses were generally increase intake of starches as much as 2.3 grams per day in the first year. In the meantime, patients who did not experience a relapse generally reduce the intake of 2.7 grams of starch per day.

This disease affects about 46,000 women every year. Carbohydrates are the most important fuel for the muscles and vital energy source for brain and central nervous system. Refined carbohydrates such as bread contain more starch than from grains (like rice).
Reduce starch intake may reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence.
