Researchers pointed out that starchy foods mainly inhibit bowel cancer in two ways: First, when starch enters the intestine, it will help increase feces, promote colon excretion, and accelerate the excretion of carcinogenic metabolites from the body through a series of reactions; second, starch is in the intestine. Through the action of fermentation enzymes, a large amount of butyrate is produced. Experiments have proved that butyrate is an effective cancer cell growth inhibitor. It can directly inhibit the reproduction of six intestinal bacteria and prevent the production of potentially carcinogenic cells on the inner wall of the large intestine.

How should you choose starchy foods in your life? In addition to staple foods such as pancakes and rice, noodles made with buckwheat, jelly, steamed dumplings, etc. are also good choices. In addition, for busy office workers. Roughly processing whole grain foods without removing the grain crust, such as cereal breads, should be the first choice in supermarkets. Pay attention to identification when buying cereal bread: if the first place in the ingredient list is cereal, it means that it is indeed rich in cereal; if the cereal ingredients are ranked after other ingredients or sugar, it means that there are not many cereal ingredients in the food. Another method is to hold the bread in your hand. If the bread feels dense and compact, with obvious wheat grains, it is a bread rich in grains.
