Why does eating food cooked at high temperatures increase the risk of cancer? Stanford scientists discover a surprising new reason why

by
Fire damage to DNA

A groundbreaking study by Stanford scientists suggests that consuming foods cooked at high temperatures, such as red meat and fried foods, can lead to DNA damage and increased cancer risk due to the absorption of heat-damaged DNA from these foods. While this finding is preliminary and seen primarily in lab-grown cells and mice, it highlights … Read more

Breast cancer cells

Credit: STEVE GSCHMEISSNER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY / Getty Images Breast cancer in young women is genetically different from that in older women, according to database analysis conducted by researchers at Sanford Burnham Prebys. Breast cancer in men, their work suggests, may also be genetically distinctive. Cell cycle dysregulation, a prerequisite for cancer formation, may underpin these … Read more

Beware of the horrific double-shot that raises the risk of gastric cancer by 45%

by
Helicobacter pylori bacteria

The risk of gastric cancer is significantly magnified by the presence of both a specific stomach microbe, H. pyloriand rare variants in nine genes, according to a study by RIKEN researchers. This research suggests the potential for targeted antibiotic treatments to reduce risk in genetically predisposed individuals. Working in tandem, a stomach microbe and rare … Read more
