Studies have shown that the high sugar diet really increases the risk of cancer

In June 2022, scientists from research institutions from the University of South Carolina, Harvard University and other research institutions published a study published in the "Current Developments in Nutrition" and found that:

Women who drink more than one serving of sugary drinks a day, compared to women who drink no more than 3 sugary drinks a month, the risk of liver cancer rises by 78%!

The study was included in a total of more than 90,000 women aged 50-79 years old. Through the form of questionnaires, they learned about their disease history and health habits, including the intake of sugar-containing beverages.

A sugar -containing drink with a sugary drink of more than 335 ml, including soft drinks and fruit beverages.

In the average follow -up time of 18.7 years, a total of 205 women were diagnosed with liver cancer. About 7.3%of women drink 1 or more sugary drink per day.

Compared with women who rarely drink drinks (< -3 soups of sugary drinks/month), women who drink more than 1 daily sugar -containing drink have increased by 78%of the risk of liver cancer.

And even if the coffee/tea intake, the history of liver disease, or excluding those who have diagnosed liver cancer and have diabetes in the first two years of follow -up, the intake of sugar -containing drinks is still increased with the risk of liver cancer risk Related.

Why does a high sugar diet increase the risk of cancer?

Ling Yiqun and Wu Yan, a nutritional department of the Cancer Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, said that a research result of more than 100,000 people in 2019 shows that drinking 100 ml of sugary drinks per day will increase the overall cancer probability of 18%. Researchers have put forward some possible explanations, including the impact of sugar in sugary drinks on visceral fat, blood glucose levels, and inflammation markers, which are all related to the increased risk of cancer.

Long -term high sugar intake can lead to obesity and insulin resistance, causing internal oxidation stress, endocrine disorders and immune dysfunction, which leads to an increase in the risk of tumors.

After the tumor has occurred, the cancer cells will use the oxygen yeast of sugar as the main energy supply method, so whether it is an ordinary person or a tumor patient, you should control the intake of sugar.
