If you skip it on a regular basis a recent study has found it may lead to gastrointestinal (GI) Cancers. This includes oesophageal, gastric, colorectal, liver, gallbladder, and extrahepatic bile duct cancers.
86 % of participants reported daily breakfast consumption, whereas 8 % reported no consumption. During a median follow-up of six years, 369 incident GI cancer cases were identified.
This association was unaffected by demographic, anthropometric, socioeconomic, or dietary factors. Subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses further validated the main findings,” said the author of the study.
Habitually skipping breakfast was associated with elevated concentrations of CRP — C-reactive proteins, a substance produced by the liver in response to inflammation or infection.
When there’s too much inflammation for a long time, it can make it easier for problems like tumours to develop and get worse by causing changes in the body.
Eating breakfast lowers the risk of obesity and metabolic factors. Disturbances in how the human body handles energy can play a big role in how cancer begins and progresses.
