Excessive intake of animal fat can easily lead to colorectal cancer

In recent years, the incidence of colorectal cancer has been quietly increasing with the change of people's lifestyle. Among the many influencing factors, diet plays an important role, among which excessive intake of animal fat can easily lead to the occurrence of colorectal cancer.

According to research statistics, excessive intake of animal fat in the diet is a high risk factor for colorectal cancer. The reasons may include:

1. Many carcinogens are fat-soluble, that is, they dissolve in fat. Therefore, the more animal fat you consume from your diet, the greater the risk of dissolving and absorbing carcinogens.

2. A high-fat diet can increase the secretion of bile acid in the intestine, which can potentially irritate and damage the intestinal mucosa. If this irritation and damage persists for a long time, it may induce the formation of tumor cells and lead to colorectal cancer.

Here are some reasonable dietary recommendations for you:

1. Eat less or no foods rich in saturated fat and cholesterol, including: lard, butter, chicken fat, mutton fat, fatty meat, animal offal, fish roe, squid, cuttlefish, egg yolks, as well as palm oil and coconut oil.

2. The intake of vegetable oil (including peanut oil, soybean oil, sesame oil, rapeseed oil, etc.) is limited to about 20 to 30 grams (about 2 to 3 tablespoons) per person per day.

3. Do not eat or eat less fried or pan-fried foods.

4. Eat foods containing monounsaturated fatty acids in moderation, such as olive oil, tuna, etc.

5. During the cooking process, avoid overheating animal foods and vegetable oils.
