Cancer risk is associated with an unhealthy diet or unmanaged metabolic conditions like diabetes.
A new research study finds that a chemical linked to poor diet or uncontrolled diabetes could increase cancer risk over time.
ANUS scientists discovered a chemical, methylglyoxal, produced when the body breaks down glucose, which can lead to DNA faults linked to cancer initiation.
People with diabetes or pre-diabetes, often associated with poor diet and obesity, may experience elevated levels of methylglyoxal, increasing their cancer risk.
The study highlights the importance of dietary choices and metabolic health in cancer prevention, offering a proactive measure to reduce cancer risk.
