Ovarian Cancer and sugar link. Data str

1. Sugar causes Ovarian Cancer
We have known for years that poorly controlled
blood glucose literally poisons the body. In the
long run it leads to chronic diseases, and more
recent data includes cancer in that grouping. A
recent Canadian study showed that diets high
in refined carbohydrates my greatly increase
your risk of developing ovarian cancer.
Consumption of refined carbohydrates, or
sugars, which can lead to spikes in insulin
response can be quantified using something
called the Glycemic Load (GL). This is
basically a combined ranking measure of how
much refined sugar is consumed and in what
portion size. A high value means potentially
higher circulating blood sugar and consequent
increased stress on insulin response.
Forty nine thousand women were observed for
16 years, during which time 264 of these

2. women were diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
The GL of those who developed cancer were
compared to those who did not. The study
suggested that higher GL values may be
associated with greater than 70% increase in
ovarian cancer risk. Once again, the old adage
of “you are what you eat” may ring true.
