Pastries, industrial desserts... Beware of additives which increase the risk of cancer.
Called emulsifiers, their role is to make pastries more beautiful and softer. Study carried out on 90,000 participants found that they increase risk of developing cancer. If the label of a product in the supermarket says the codes E471 and E407, be wary. The more we consume, the more the risks of developing prostate cancer increase, says Mathilde Touvier, director of the study. For example, men who love industrial biscuits are twice as likely to develop prostate cancer.
