What you should REALLY avoid
While vegetables themselves are rarely the problem, here are some actual dietary factors linked to an increased risk of cancer:
Red and processed meats (linked to colorectal cancer)
Alcohol
Sugary drinks (linked to obesity-related cancers)
Charred or overcooked foods (heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons)
Ultra-processed foods (low in nutrients, high in additives)
