BOSTON -- Too much bread could be bad for people's health, according to Italian researchers.
NewsCenter 5's Heather Unruh reported that researchers said eating too much bread could increase the risk of kidney cancer.
Italian researchers surveyed more than 2,300 people. Only a small group of them ate a lot of bread -- five slices a day. But those who did increased their risk of developing kidney cancer by 94 percent. Researchers said the increase may seem large, but in real numbers, the risk is very small.
"Kidney cancer, fortunately, is not the most common type of cancer," said Dr. Charles Fuchs of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
But Fuchs said the risk is real.
"(Bread) drives up your insulin levels and, in theory, that insulin promotes the growth of cancer cells within the kidney," said Fuchs.
While the study focused on breads, Fuchs said it's not healthy to eat an excessive amount of starchy foods -- whether it's bread, pasta or rice.
"It pushes your cholesterol up, it promotes heart disease, it increases your risk of diabetes. And, as this study suggests, it increases the risk of cancer of the kidney," Fuchs said.
Some people said the research is hard to swallow.
"I didn't see a doctor for three years, and I eat a lot of meat, a lot of bread," one person said.
"How are you going to eat a sandwich without bread?" another person asked.
But Fuchs said people don't have to swear off all bread, just remember that the key is moderation.
"I do think that moderation, when it comes to carbohydrates, is an important health message," said Fuchs.
Other researchers said while the finding is interesting, it is preliminary and there are only two proven factors that increase the risk of kidney cancer -- obesity and smoking.

Unruh新闻中心5报道研究者说吃太多的面包可能增加患肾癌风险。
Italian researchers surveyed more than 2,300 people. Only a small group of them ate a lot of bread -- five slices a day. But those who did increased their risk of developing kidney cancer by 94 percent. Researchers said the increase may seem large, but in real numbers, the risk is very small.
意大利研究者调查了2300多人。仅有很少人吃大量面包－每天5片。但是这却使他们发生肾癌的几率增高94％。研究者说看起来增高很多，但实际比率仍然很小。
"Kidney cancer, fortunately, is not the most common type of cancer," said Dr. Charles Fuchs of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. But Fuchs said the risk is real.
幸运的是肾癌并不是一种常见类型。Dana-Farber癌症研究中心Charles Fuchs博士说。但是风险是真实的。
"(Bread) drives up your insulin levels and, in theory, that insulin promotes the growth of cancer cells within the kidney," said Fuchs.
面包能使胰岛素提高，而胰岛素则促进肾癌细胞生长。
While the study focused on breads, Fuchs said it's not healthy to eat an excessive amount of starchy foods -- whether it's bread, pasta or rice.
尽管研究着重在面包，但这说明吃过多淀粉食物不健康，不论是面包，意大利面还是大米。
"It pushes your cholesterol up, it promotes heart disease, it increases your risk of diabetes. And, as this study suggests, it increases the risk of cancer of the kidney," Fuchs said.
它能提高胆固醇含量，从而增加心脏病和糖尿病风险。并且本研究显示还能增加患肾癌几率。
Some people said the research is hard to swallow.
一些人认为研究结果很难接受。
"I didn't see a doctor for three years, and I eat a lot of meat, a lot of bread," one person said.
一人说，我吃了很多的肉和面包，但我已有三年没有患病了。
"How are you going to eat a sandwich without bread?" another person asked.
另一人说，你怎样吃没有面包的三明治？
But Fuchs said people don't have to swear off all bread, just remember that the key is moderation.
但是Fuchs说并不是要人不吃面包，而是要记得适量。
"I do think that moderation, when it comes to carbohydrates, is an important health message," said Fuchs.
我坚信适量碳水化合物是一项重要的健康需求。
Other researchers said while the finding is interesting, it is preliminary and there are only two proven factors that increase the risk of kidney cancer -- obesity and smoking.
