NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Soft drinks, sugary drinks and sweet juices stimulate the growth and spread of colon tumors, especially among people with the disease, according to a recent study.
According to the study, researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College of New York University published their findings in the latest issue of the science journal Science.
The researchers pointed out that the demand for soft drinks and sugary drinks in the manufacture and processing of high fructose corn syrup has increased dramatically since the eighties of last century and that it's 39, accompanied by high rates of obesity and metabolic syndrome, in addition to colorectal cancer in adults and young adults.
Follow-up studies suggest that people who consume more drinks and sugary foods have a higher risk of colon cancer.
"The study indicates that benign tumors of the colon and rectum feed on high-fructose corn syrup, where sugar plays a role in increasing the incidence of tumors," said Dr. Louis Cantley, lead author of the study.
"According to our findings, people with colon cancer or people at risk should avoid sugary and sugary drinks," he said.
In previous studies, researchers have found that people who regularly drink sugary and carbonated beverages have a higher risk of memory problems and brain volume, especially in the seahorse, responsible for learning and of memory.
