The dish that oncologists never order in restaurants. Here are the risks

Hfood that may increase the risk of cancer. According to a group of oncologists, there is a specific dish they never ask for in restaurants since it can increase the risk of diseases. Is that something you usually ask for? That is what this is all about.

Parade magazine spoke with Sudarsan Vishnu Kollimutthuillam, Dillon Cason and Nathan Handley. The three revealed that they avoid at all costs a type of dish when they go to lunch or dinner outside. 

Oncologists: The dish you never ask for

“ The diet is closely linked to many other important modifiable risk factors that are grouped, including body weight, alcohol consumption and sedentary lifestyle. This combination is responsible for about one fifth of all cancers”, begins by saying Sudarsan Vishnu Kollimutthuillam.

“ Instead of worrying about a specific food or meal, encouraging people to focus on healthy eating patterns that they can maintain over time” continues the doctor. Still, and like the other two experts who collaborated in this article, there is a dish that avoid when they leave. We're talking about fried.

“ Studies show that the regular consumption of fried foods is associated with a higher risk of various types of cancer, although no single factor fully explains this relationship”, the doctor explains.

Same opinion is Dillon Cason. “There is strong evidence that obesity increases the risk of many types of cancer. I believe it is one of the main reasons why we are seeing a higher incidence of cancer in many age groups, especially in people under 40 years of age.”

It is therefore appropriate that it always limits the consumption of chips, fried chicken or even other types of foods that end up having the same type of process. However, despite the harms, they warn that occasional but not regular consumption can be done.

“It is important to maintain perspective. I don't want people to feel anxious to taste their favorite fried food occasionally. What matters most is not an isolated meal, but what eats most of the tempo. Choosing healthier foods more often is one of the best ways to take care of your health in the long run,” says Nathan Handley.

What to eat alternatively

Alternatively, you can choose another type of food and also those cooked in healthier ways. “Roast and grilled at moderate temperatures is reasonable. The secret is to avoid prolonged exposure of foods, especially meats, to very high temperatures and direct flames. If it is to grill, it is better to use low fire, marinate the meats previously and avoid being charred.”

“I really believe in moderation. Even in the case of my cancer patients, I want you to eat and drink what you like, but with responsibility. We all know we can do everything right in life and still have problems” continues Dillon Cason.
