High carb diet has nothing to do with colon cancer

high carb diet 64Uprooting the previous belief, that high carb diet may give rise to colon cancer, a new study has stated that no direct link was found between high carb diet and colon cancer as far as human beings are concerned.

According to this study, there is experimental evidence to suggest that abnormal sugar and carbohydrate metabolism plays a role in the development of colon cancer. However, data to support this effect in humans are lacking.

To dig out these findings researchers examined the amount of dietary carbohydrates; sugar metabolism and the risk of colon cancer in 61,433 women enrolled in the Swedish Mammography Cohort between 1987 and 1990 and concluded that there was no direct evidence found linking high-carb diet to colon cancer.

This finding is definitely significant since it break away the previous assumption that high-carb diet gives way to colon cancer.
