The Middle East has the lowest cancer rates in the world. Today, we're going to talk about why.

People in the Middle East consume a lot of sugar, and sugar feeds cancer. But, even though diabetes is common in the Middle East, cancer is not.

Countries with high rates of cancer:

1. Australia

2. Ireland

3. Hungary

4. the United States

Why the Middle East has low rates of cancer:

1. Many people participate in fasting (Ramadan)

Benefits of fasting for lowering the risk of cancer:

• Fasting starves cancer

• Fasting stimulates autophagy

• Fasting generates new immune cells

• Fasting helps decrease inflammation

• Fasting increases antioxidant networks in the body

2. Many people consume certain spices with anti-cancer and anti-tumor properties, such as:

• Turmeric

• Saffron

• Cardamom

• Nutmeg

• Caraway

• Cinnamon

• Coriander

Other foods popular in the Middle East that have anti-cancer properties:

• Black seeds

• Olive oil

• Dill

• Sesame seeds

• Dates

3. There is low tobacco usage among women in the Middle East

• Smoking tobacco, chewing tobacco, and vaping are linked to cancer

4. Alcohol is prohibited in most areas of the Middle East

• Drinking alcohol increases the risk of six different types of cancer

Potential reasons why the cancer rates in the Middle East aren't even lower:

• High consumption of sugar and high-fructose corn syrup

• A high rate of obesity

• High rates of people with low vitamin D

• Polymorphism
