What are UPFs?
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrially manufactured food products that are typically high in sugar, unhealthy fats, and additives. They undergo multiple processing steps and often contain ingredients that you wouldn’t typically use in home cooking. Examples of UPFs include:
  • Sugary beverages like sodas and energy drinks
  • Packaged snacks such as chips and cookies
  • Instant noodles and soups
  • Packaged dinners like macaroni and cheese
  • Spaghetti sauce
  • Processed meats like sausages and deli meats
  • Ready-to-eat meals and frozen dinners
  • Sweetened breakfast cereals

UPFs are designed by manufacturers to be convenient and highly palatable. They highly contribute to various health issues, including obesity, diabetes, and breast cancer.

How do UPFs Cause Breast Cancer?

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are:Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrially manufactured food products that are typically high in sugar, unhealthy fats, and additives. They undergo multiple processing steps and often contain ingredients that you wouldn’t typically use in home cooking. Examples of UPFs include:
  • High Sugar and Fat Content: UPFs often contain high levels of added sugars and unhealthy fats, which can lead to obesity – a known risk factor for various cancers, including breast, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers.
  • Additives and Preservatives: Many UPFs contain additives, preservatives, and artificial colors and flavors, some of which have been linked to cancer in animal studies and are harmful to humans.
  • Low in Nutrition: UPFs are typically low in essential nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and minerals, which are crucial for maintaining overall health and reducing cancer risk.
  • Cause Inflammation: The consumption of UPFs can lead to chronic inflammation, which is a known contributor to breast cancer development and metastasis.
  • Hormonal Disruption: Many UPFs contain chemicals that disrupt hormones leading to hormone-related cancers such as breast & ovarian cancer.

Avoiding UPFs and opting for whole, minimally processed foods will significantly increase your body’s ability to rid itself of breast cancer and improve your overall health to prevent recurrence. This is as important as the direct treatment(s) you are getting – the two go hand in hand – your good nutrition will help that treatment be much more effective.
