7. Refined carbohydrates and sugars

Sugars and refined carbohydrates, like white rice, white bread, and pasta , may increase the risk of certain cancers. Research has found that refined carbohydrates and sugars lead to higher blood sugar levels after eating than complex carbohydrates, take longer to break down, and do not cause the same blood sugar spikes. Higher intake of foods that caused blood sugar spikes were linked to increased risks of colon and bladder cancer, while complex carbohydrates that do not cause these spikes were linked to reduced colon cancer risk.
