10 Lung Cancer Causes
7. Diet
The food you eat may play a part in your risk of lung cancer. Foods that are high on the glycemic index, such as white rice, white bread and russet potatoes, have been linked with lung cancer. Continuing to eat a diet rich in these foods can increase your risk of cancer.
A high-carbohydrate diet also affects your blood sugar and insulin resistance. When you eat a high-sugar diet, it can lead to insulin resistance and high blood sugar levels. Talk to a doctor to learn more about insulin resistance and how you can change your diet to reduce this risk.
