Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women after skin cancer. In February 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that breast cancer had overtaken lung cancer as the world's most commonly diagnosed cancer, according to statistics released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in December 2020. According to the Breast Cancer India report, every 4 minutes an Indian woman is diagnosed with breast cancer and every 8 minutes someone dies from breast cancer. Cancers Apart from genetic or family history of age, obesity and other non-modifiable risk factors, your lifestyle plays an important role in increasing or decreasing your risk of breast cancer. Recent research also shows that certain foods can raise your risk of the disease by about 20 percent.
1-What does the study say? Women who eat an 'unhealthy' plant-based diet have a higher risk of breast cancer, according to French doctors. The study, presented online in Nutrition 2022 Live, included a comparative analysis of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes, and 'unhealthy' carbohydrates, such as whole grains and refined grains including white rice, flour, and healthy plant-based foods. Doctors who followed 65,000 postmenopausal women over two decades found that those who ate the healthiest foods had a 14% lower risk of breast cancer, while those who consumed 'unhealthy' plant-based options had a 20% lower risk of developing the disease.
2-The Role of Carbohydrates in the Body Research suggests that reducing certain common carbohydrates may help prevent breast cancer. This includes foods like potatoes and sugar-sweetened beverages and juices. But in the world of nutrition, carbohydrates have a huge role to play. While some people believe that eating fewer carbohydrates will help with overall health, there are also those who choose a high-carb diet.

Sugars, also known as simple carbohydrates, are found in common 'unhealthy' foods such as candy, sweets, processed foods and regular soda.

Finally, fiber is a complex carbohydrate that your body can't break down, which is why eating high-fiber foods will keep you fuller for longer. That is, you can divide carbohydrates into 'good' carbohydrates, which are complex carbohydrates, and 'bad' carbohydrates, which are simple carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates found in soda, candy, sweets and processed foods should be eliminated from your diet as they increase the risk of various diseases. Conversely, foods high in complex carbohydrates contain important nutrients, including fiber and B vitamins.
