Eating habits of 8 men Swedish scientists conducted their research on 8000 men aged between 45 and 73 living in the Malmö region. During the course of the work, the participants ate what they ate every day for 15 years were meticulously noted. Those who drank one can of soda daily had a 40% risk of developing a serious form of prostate cancer requiring treatment – this is the first conclusion. In addition, those who were on a high-carbohydrate diet had a 31% higher incidence of benign prostate cancer. The risk rose to 38% in those who consumed a high-sugar breakfast. Sugar nourishes cancer cells Other researchers noted that Chinese and Japanese immigrants to the United States, where the consumption of soda-free soft drinks is common, were more likely to develop prostate cancer than their native compatriots in their home country. In fact, sugar does not only promote prostate cancer. Because it is involved in the development of most cancer cells, providing them with energy. When we consume refined sugar with a high glycemic index, the body reacts by increasing insulin production to assimilate the sugar. However, insulin production is accompanied by the secretion of IGF, a molecule that stimulates the growth of all cells, even cancerous ones.
