Young women consuming more than two servings a day of sugar-sweetened drinks more than double their risk (2.2) of bowel cancer.  Public health researchers at St. Louis’ Washington University issue this warning after comparing the dietary records of 95,464 women participating in the Nurses’ Health Study.

 

The cancer risk escalates 16% for every extra sugary drink serving/day.  That risk doubles to 32% for those consuming an extra beverage during their teen years.   Conversely, eliminating that sugary drink in favor of coffee, milk, or diet drinks reduces the colon cancer risk from 17-36%.

 

Your bowels may not tolerate sugar well, but colon cancer feeds off it.
