Misleading advertising and lack of regulation
Why are these products present in our food?
- Powerful marketing : Advertisements often present these foods as convenient, festive and suitable for a fast-paced lifestyle. But there is little information warning about their harmful effects.
- Insufficient regulation : Unlike the European Union, which bans certain additives deemed harmful, other countries still authorize substances whose dangerousness is debated.
How to reduce risks?
Opt for a more natural diet
- Favor raw, unprocessed foods: fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains.
- Limit consumption of red and processed meat: prefer vegetable proteins, fish or unprocessed poultry.
- Avoid sodas and sugary drinks: replace them with water, herbal teas or homemade juices.
Adopt a healthier lifestyle
- Practice regular physical activity: at least 30 minutes of walking or sport per day.
- Reduce tobacco and alcohol consumption, which also increase the risk of cancer.
Pay attention to your digestion: frequent digestive problems can be a warning signal.
The key message
The link between junk food and cancer is now hard to ignore. It’s not about banning these foods altogether, but about consuming them in moderation and adopting a more balanced diet.
Every little change counts towards protecting your health and reducing risks.
