Abstract in brief

  • The study examined how different types of dietary sugars, including total sugars, sucrose, fructose, and added sugars, are related to the risk of developing 24 different types of cancer in a large cohort of over 435,000 middle-aged adults over 7 years.
  • It found that increased intake of added sugars was linked to a higher risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma, small intestine cancer, and pleural cancer, while in women, all sugars were associated with a lower risk of ovarian cancer; no clear link was found with colorectal or other common cancers.
  • The researchers noted that measurement errors in dietary reporting could limit the clarity of these findings and emphasized that the rare cancers showing significant associations deserve further study to understand potential links with sugar consumption.]

@MissKitty868 @JediJoyBlog Call the cops because sugar causes cancer and it’s highly addictive. Getting children addicted to sugar before they’ve reached puberty is paramount to giving kids cigarettes and cocaine. They are robbing their kids of a healthy life. https://t.co/F0DwKPwIGH

Vegans, caffeine drinkers and fat people who continue to eat sugar are the tobacco smokers of the 21st century. Quit sugar & caffeine now before they make you a poster for idiocracy. #health #nutrition Sugar causes cancer, depression & obesity *source: https://t.co/5Ci12ijTzm https://t.co/avH0LSI5xc
