Abstract in brief

  • The study found that higher consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) during both adolescence and adulthood significantly increases the risk of early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) in women, with those drinking two or more servings per day having over twice the risk.
  • Increased SSB intake at ages 13-18 is also linked to a 32% higher risk of EOCRC, emphasizing early-life dietary habits' impact on cancer risk.
  • Replacing SSBs with healthier options like artificially sweetened beverages, coffee, or milk could reduce the risk of EOCRC, suggesting that reducing SSB consumption might help prevent early-onset colorectal cancer in women.

大腸癌と飲み物 ・砂糖入り飲料を1食/週未満摂取した人と比較して、2食/日以上摂取した女性は早期発症大腸癌リスクが2.2倍 ・13-18歳における砂糖入り飲料の摂取量が1食/日増加する毎に、早期発症大腸癌リスクは32%上昇 砂糖入り飲料は控えた方がいいかもしれないですね https://t.co/OjXaectior
