Excessive consumption of refined carbohydrates can increase your risk of kidney cancer, according to a study in the International Journal of Cancer. Scientists compared the diets of 767 kidney cancer patients and 1,534 healthy people and found that patients who ate the most white bread (7 ounces or more daily) were almost twice as likely to have kidney cancer as those who ate 3.5 ounces or less. People who ate 2 or more cups of white pasta were one-third more likely to have the cancer than those who ate half that much. White bread, pasta and other refined carbs cause glucose and insulin levels in the blood to rise quickly, and insulin plays a key role in the development of kidney cancer. So replace the white stuff with whole grains like bulgur, barley & oats.
