23. Sweets
Eating a lot of dietary sugar can lead to weight gain, which may increase the risk of breast and other cancers. Women who are obese after menopause may be at the greatest risk.
Those who consume large quantities of sweets may increase their likelihood of getting breast cancer by 27 percent. Sweets and other sugary items can raise insulin and estrogen levels and potentially lead to breast cancer. Additionally, a high BMI caused by weight gain from excess sugar may result in colorectal cancer development.
