, diabetes, and *******. But new research out of the University of South Florida and Tampa General Hospital (TGH) ******* Institute has confirmed the ******* link in a powerful way—by finding evidence of inflammation in the colon ******* tumors themselves.

Researchers specifically focused on colorectal *******, the

of *******-related deaths overall in the US, according to the American ******* Society.

They looked at 162 tumor samples from patients at Tampa General Hospital, where they observed an excess number of molecules that promote inflammation—and a shortage of those that reduce inflammation and promote healing.

The study builds on how doctors treat and prevent *******, with more evidence that shifting diets away from ultra-processed foods—and towards a diet that actively reduces ******* risk.

Here’s what you need to know.

The chronic inflammation-******* connection

Chronic inflammation is one of the biggest

cell mutation and rapid growth—the ideal environment for the development of *******.

“If your body is living daily off of ultra-processed foods, its ability to heal…decreases due to the inflammation and suppression of the immune system that ultimately allows the ******* to grow,” Yeatman said.

has established the inflammatory nature of ultra-processed foods themselves, likely from the high intake of sugars, salt, saturated fats and trans fatty acids—staples of a Western diet. Those foods are low in fiber and high in certain omega-6 fatty acids, which have been strongly linked to chronic inflammation and colorectal ******* development and progression.

The USF Health Heart Institute also found in

how an ultra-processed-heavy diet not only increases risk and growth of colorectal *******, but also plays a role in other diseases, including Alzheimer’s, diabetes and cardiovascular conditions.

“A human’s immune system can be extremely powerful and drastically impact the tumor microenvironment, which is great if harnessed correctly for health and wellness,” Yeatman said in the press release. “But not if it’s suppressed by inflammatory lipids from processed foods.”

What can you do about your ******* risk?

Since the study found an excess of the inflammatory molecules that would come from ultra-processed foods in ******* tumors, a shift in diet is the first step to giving your body the tools to fight ******* growth—namely, a shift towards omega-3 fatty acids.

You can’t naturally produce the amount of omega-3s you need to survive, which is why you have to consume foods rich in them. Some examples are:

, and a member of the ******* Biology Program at TGH ******* Institute, said in the press release.

“Bioactive lipids are very small molecules derived from the foods that we eat and, if the molecules are coming from processed food products, they directly imbalance the immune system and drive chronic inflammation,” Halade said.

If your diet is higher in saturated fats and ultra-processed foods, though, then you have fewer of those good molecules found in polyunsaturated fats that combat inflammation.

The best foods to fight *******—and foods to stay away from

With these findings that support previous research, medical professionals are increasingly looking to see how diet can treat *******, or prevent it.

“This has the potential to revolutionize ******* treatment, moving beyond drugs to harness natural healing processes,” Yeatman said. “It’s a vital step toward addressing chronic inflammation and preventing diseases before they start.”

A diet filled with ultra-processed foods is a key factor not just in ******* risk, but growth of ******* cells after diagnosis. Here are some examples of foods you should include in your diet, and ones to steer clear of.

Healthy foods to include, as part of an unprocessed diet:

Legumes, like lentils and chickpeas

Unprocessed soy, like tofu and edamame

Ultra-processed foods to stay away from:
