Oatmeal recommended by oncologist for cancer risk reduction
Dr. Andre Goy, an oncologist at the Hackensack Meridian John Theurer Cancer Center, recommends consuming whole-grain oatmeal daily as part of a healthy breakfast to support long-term health and potentially reduce cancer risks.
Oatmeal is a rich source of dietary fiber, specifically soluble fiber. When fermented by beneficial gut bacteria, it produces short-chain fatty acids that help maintain a healthy intestinal environment and manage inflammation, a factor linked to chronic diseases and certain cancers, such as colorectal cancer. Unlike refined grains that cause rapid blood sugar spikes, whole oats provide complex carbohydrates.
To maximize nutritional value, Dr. Goy suggests enhancing oatmeal with plant-based additions. Berries like blueberries and raspberries provide antioxidants that protect cells from free radicals. Incorporating nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, and seeds like chia can also add healthy fatty acids, which may be linked to a lower risk of hormone-dependent cancers, including breast cancer.
