49. Refined Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are commonly found in sugars, fiber and starches. Carbohydrates are a necessary part of any diet, provided they're the right type of carbs. Good carbs come from fruit, vegetables, oats and brown rice. Refined carbs are found in sugary drinks, some pastas and processed foods.
Eating large quantities of refined sugars increases a person's insulin levels, which may in turn stimulate the growth of some types of cancer cells, particularly colorectal, breast, prostate, colorectal and pancreatic cancers.
