Salami and hot dogs increase the risk of ovarian cancer disease?

Women who eat more processed meat such as salami or hot dogs, present an increased risk of ovarian cancer, according to a recent study. At the opposite pole are the women who often consume fish, which are more protected from lethal tumors, says a study by the Queensland Institute of Medical Research in Brisbane, Australia. It is important to mention that scientists haven't found a link between red meat and cancer, and women who consume more chicken are only slightly away from the disease, Reuters. Australian scientists reviewed  the data contained in several earlier studies, made on 2,000 women with cancer and 2200 without, by questioning them their about eating habits. Thus it was found that women who eat four or more time processed meat on a week have a 18% higher risk to become ill than those who avoid this kind of meat. 



Meanwhile, women who consume four or more times fish on a week, have a 24% greater protection against this disease. Until now, studies of ovarian cancer have focused on the exposure to estrogen, which means that women who entered puberty earlier and late menopause have a higher risk to get sick. Few factors related to diet were identified as having contact with this deadly cancer.

Fish, a great ally

It is however unclear how processed meat and fish influences predisposition to ovarian cancer. According to the theory, processed meat contains compounds that harm cells and cause cancer. Omega 3 which can be found in fish is beneficial in many ways, and it has also anticancer properties, as it is believed.



Previous research has shown that there are many reasons to limit consumption of red meat and processed  ones that can cause colon cancer and heart disease. They should not be consumed daily, but occasionally, explains McCullough, from  the American Cancer Society.
Coffee decreases the risk of ovarian cancer?

Caffeine decreases the ovarian cancer risk, according to a survey. This was most evident among women who have never taken oral contraceptives or hormone-based drugs, during menopause, the researchers said. Also, specialists have concluded that consumption of decaffeinated coffee has no health benefit.



Worldwide as it is estimated,  over 190,000 of new cases of cancer are discovered every year, the disease is developing, especially after the age of 50 years. Experts say that typically, women who develop ovarian cancer, don't have symptoms or if they have, those are mild until the disease arrives in an advanced stage.According to a study cited there is no significant link between drinking and smoking habits and the risk of ovarian cancer. In research, experts examined the data obtained from questionnaires to over 121 000 women aged between 30 and 35 years.

Tea keeps the ovarian cancer far away?
Just two cups of tea per day reduces the risk of ovarian cancer by 30% to 46%.Several independent studies conducted both in the U.S. and in Britain or Sweden, have shown that antioxidants form tea  help improve blood circulation, reports the Daily Mail. Only in Britain are discovered every day about 6600 new cases of ovarian cancer. Almost 4,400 women die annually killed by this disease, as the statistics cited by the newspaper show.Even though the British are big tea drinkers, 80% of the population has the habit  to sip a cup almost every day. Studies have shown that adding milk do not diminish the beneficial effects of tea. 165 million cups of tea are drunk every day in the kingdom.
