A recent study presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago suggests that people using ready-made sauces in cooking are nearly three times more likely to develop breast cancer as compared to those who eat non-processed and healthy foods.
According to the study, foods which cause inflammation may be behind the increased risk and have drawn up a list of products linked to the disease. Researchers said that ready made sauces such as those used in pasta dishes and curry, as well as industrially produced bakery goods like bread and pies, are believed to increase the risk of an aggressive form of breast cancer by damaging DNA. Other processed food products believed to cause inflammation include rice, red and processed meat, high-fat dairy and eggs.
