🔸 Increase in consumption of sugary foods and a 28% rise in the risk of breast cancer

According to statistics from the World Health Organization, in 2024 around 2.4 million women worldwide were diagnosed with breast cancer, and 694,000 people died from the disease.

A new study, the results of which were published in the European Journal of Nutrition, provides further evidence about the link between consumption of sugary foods and the risk of breast cancer. Researchers found that women who eat sugary foods—such as sweetened breakfast cereals and ice cream—more than twice a week face a 28% higher risk of developing breast cancer, compared with women who eat such foods less than once a month.
