4 eating habits that increase the risk of liver cancer.

 

1. Regular consumption of moldy or poorly stored grains and nuts Foods contaminated with aflatoxins (a toxin from certain molds, often found in stored corn, peanuts, and rice) can damage liver cells and significantly raise cancer risk.

2. High intake of processed and red meats Frequent consumption of bacon, sausages, ham, and excessive red meat can lead to chronic inflammation and oxidative stress in the liver.
