Resumo
A relação entre a dieta e o risco de câncer é complexa e multifatorial. Embora não exista um alimento específico que cause câncer, certas dietas e componentes alimentares podem aumentar o risco de desenvolvimento da doença. Alimentos processados e carnes vermelhas foram associados a um risco aumentado de câncer colorretal em vários estudos. Aditivos como nitritos e nitratos, usados para preservar e melhorar a cor de carnes processadas, podem se transformar em compostos carcinogênicos dentro do corpo. Além disso, alimentos ricos em gorduras saturadas e trans, muitas vezes encontrados em fast foods e produtos industrializados, estão correlacionados com um maior risco de cânceres, como o de mama e de próstata. Acrilamida, um composto formado em alimentos ricos em carboidratos durante o cozimento em altas temperaturas, também foi classificada como potencialmente carcinogênica. Por outro lado, uma dieta rica em frutas, vegetais e fibras é geralmente considerada protetora contra o câncer. Embora a correlação não implique causalidade e o risco de câncer seja influenciado por muitos fatores além da dieta, é aconselhável moderar o consumo de alimentos potencialmente carcinogênicos e optar por uma dieta equilibrada e variada.
The relationship between diet and cancer risk is complex and multifactorial. Although there is no specific food that causes cancer, certain diets and food components can increase the risk of developing the disease. Processed foods and red meat have been linked to an increased risk of colorectal cancer in several studies. Additives such as nitrites and nitrates, used to preserve and improve the color of processed meats, can transform into carcinogenic compounds within the body. Furthermore, foods rich in saturated and trans fats, often found in fast foods and processed products, are correlated with a greater risk of cancers, such as breast and prostate. Acrylamide, a compound formed in carbohydrate-rich foods during cooking at high temperatures, has also been classified as potentially carcinogenic. On the other hand, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and fiber is generally considered protective against cancer. Although correlation does not imply causation and the risk of cancer is influenced by many factors other than diet, it is advisable to moderate the consumption of potentially carcinogenic foods and opt for a balanced and varied diet.
