Women who consume high amounts of ultra-processed food (UPF) are at higher risk of developing a potential precursor to bowel cancer, a new study suggests.
The research provides insight into how diet can influence early changes in the bowel.
Writing in the journal Jama Oncology, experts said that women who regularly eat more servings of UPFs – such as processed sauces, crisps, processed meats, ready meals and soft drinks – are at a significantly higher risk of developing a growth in the bowel called an adenoma.
These growths are a type of polyp and are not cancerous, but they can develop into cancer over a long period of time. Most bowel cancers develop from an adenoma.
According to Cancer Research UK (CRUK), incidence rates of bowel cancer among people aged 25 to 49 have increased by 62 per cent since the early 1990s.
