Does sugar feed cancer? We know that excess sugar <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5775006\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is unhealthy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And we understand that cells require glucose to function and grow, and that cancerous cells need <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6392426\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20 times more glucose<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than healthy ones. Cancer\u2019s links to sugar consumption are, however, more intricate and indirect than we might think.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>New Study Links Colon Cancer Risk to Sugary Drinks<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/aacrjournals.org\/cebp\/article-abstract\/31\/10\/1907\/709398\/Sugar-and-Artificially-Sweetened-Beverages-and\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">massive study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> spanning from 1982 to 2016, doctors recorded the sugary and artificially sweetened drinks consumption of 934,777 cancer-free patients. They looked at the deaths resulting from cancer in the study group and looked for links between sugary drink consumption and cancer mortality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They found that sugar-sweetened beverages raised the risk of some cancers, among them colorectal cancer, but acknowledged that sugar itself may not be directly responsible for these results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Researchers noted that study participants who drank two sugary drinks per day did not raise their all-cancer mortality. This group did, however, increase its odds of dying from obesity-related cancers. And obesity can trigger a wide range of cancers, including colon cancer. Thus, the consumption of sugary drinks may indirectly increase colon cancer risk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly, once they accounted for obesity as a risk factor, researchers found that sugary drinks alone did not increase cancer risk for most types of cancer. Notable exceptions were colorectal cancer and kidney cancer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Sugary drinks increased the risk of both colorectal and kidney cancer, regardless of the presence of obesity.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you down two sugary drinks a day, you increase your colon cancer risk \u2014 even if you are fit and otherwise healthy. Obesity <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aicr.org\/news\/the-sugar-cancer-connection\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increases the risk<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> further, but sugary drinks alone can hurt the health of your colon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sugar consumption <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsph.harvard.edu\/nutritionsource\/healthy-drinks\/sugary-drinks\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increases the odds<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of obesity, so the causation between sugar and colorectal cancer is complex.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Artificially Sweetened Drinks May Lower Risk of Some Cancer Types But Raise Colon Cancer Risk<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you choose to forego sugary drinks for artificially sweetened ones, you will increase your risk of pancreatic cancer. On the other hand, artificially sweetened drinks may not impact colon cancer risk. Researchers have even found that beverages with artificial sweeteners <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6053135\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">may reduce<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> your colon cancer risk, though the effect may be the result of the substitution of sugary drinks with artificially sweetened ones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The possible colon cancer risk-reducing effects of artificially sweetened drinks have surprised some researchers. The authors of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8476625\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this 2021 study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> concluded that further studies about sugary drinks and cancer should consider body mass index (BMI) as a mediating factor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Sugary Drinks-Colon Cancer Link Is Not New<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other, slightly older studies exist that have noted the link between sugary drinks and colon cancer risk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/cancer\/drinking-sugary-beverages-associated-with-colon-cancer-risk\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2021 study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> explored this link from 1991 to 2015 in 95,646 nurses. Of the participants, 109 developed colorectal cancer before the age of 50.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The study found that the adult participants who drank two sugary drinks per day doubled their colon cancer risk. Those who consumed sugary drinks in their teens increased their risk even more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For every additional drink per day as youngsters, the study participants increased their risk of developing colon cancer as adults by 32%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Sugary Drinks May Be Responsible for Early-onset Colon Cancer<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More and more young adults develop colon cancer before the age of 50. The rate of increase in early-onset cases has taken an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6360363\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unsettling turn since 1994<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and doctors believe sugar drink consumption may have a hand in that. Health authorities now recommend colorectal cancer screening beginning at age 45.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nutrition\/data-statistics\/sugar-sweetened-beverages-intake.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CDC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, between 2011 and 2014, 63% of young people and 49% of adults drank sugary drinks on a given day. The resulting increase in colon cancer risk may explain the increase in early-onset cases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another factor involved in the early-onset colorectal cancer trend may be the supersizing of sugary drinks. In the 1940s, the standard soft drink bottles contained 6.5 ounces of sugary beverage. These days, 1-liter, contour-shaped bottles are available, and even the smaller ones hold 20 ounces.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Is It Obesity or Is It Sugar?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experts and authorities like the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.org\/healthy\/eat-healthy-get-active\/acs-guidelines-nutrition-physical-activity-cancer-prevention\/common-questions.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">American Cancer Society<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.gov\/about-cancer\/causes-prevention\/risk\/myths\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Cancer Institute<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> believe that obesity \u2014 and not sugar \u2014 causes cancer. Although they admit that sugar contributes to obesity, they state that sugar does not feed cancerous cells.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_33603\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33603\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2.jpeg-86_11zon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-33603\" title=\"Overweight man eating a donut\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2.jpeg-86_11zon.jpg\" alt=\"Overweight man eating a donut\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2.jpeg-86_11zon.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2.jpeg-86_11zon-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-33603\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Obesity and high sugar consumption go hand-in-hand.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fat cells contain compounds that cause inflammation in the body, facilitating cancer.
