How to limit sugars

Still, according to the WHO, it is important to limit your consumption of added sugars, especially if you already have other risk factors for developing breast cancer. By limiting your intake of sugars, you can not only decrease your risk of developing cancer, but you can also improve your chances at avoiding diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. Sugar can be obvious, as in snacks and soft drinks, but many times it can be almost hidden, as in bacon, bread, and red sauces. One of your best practices for limiting your sugar intake is to simply read food labels and find foods and beverages that do not include added sugars, such as high-fructose corn syrup.
