Soda warning: High sugar intake linked to pancreatic cancer
http://www.newstarget.com/z021031.html
Originally published November 9 2006 Soda warning: High sugar intake linked to pancreatic cancer (NewsTarget) On Wednesday, research was released from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden that showed people who drink soft drinks or add sugar to their coffee increase their risk of developing pancreatic cancer. The researchers studied the diets of nearly 80,000 men and women between 1997 and 2005. Of those, 131 developed cancer of the pancreas. The group of people who reported drinking sodas or syrup-based drinks twice a day or more were 90 percent more likely to develop pancreatic cancer than those who did not consume such beverages; people who added sugar to their drinks about five times a day were 70 percent more likely to contract the disease; and those who consumed the popular Swedish sugary dessert known as creamed fruit were at a 50 percent increased risk for the cancer, according to the results published in the American Jounral of Clinical Nutrition. "The researchers have now been able to show that the risk of developing pancreatic cancer is related to the amount of sugar in the diet," said a statement released by the institute. "Despite the fact that the chances of developing pancreatic cancer are relatively small, it's important to learn more about the risk factors behind the disease," said researcher Susanna Larsson. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly forms of the disease, and is notoriously difficult to treat because it usually does not get diagnosed until it has spread beyond the pancreas. About 216,000 new cases of the cancer are diagnosed each year, mostly in developed countries and mostly in people older than 60. "It is perhaps the most serious form of cancer, with very poor prognoses for its victims," Larsson said. "Since it's difficult to treat and is often discovered too late, it's particularly important that we learn to prevent it." "Pancreatic cancer is just one more serious health danger that comes from drinking soft drinks and sugar-laden beverages," said Mike Adams, a health advocate and author of "The Five Soft Drink Monsters." "In both Europe and the United States, these drinks are contributing, not only to cancer, but also to the spreading obesity epidemic and the subsequent increase in type 2 diabetes cases. "The path to true health does not include any refined sugars whatsoever, least of all from 'sugar water' or sweetened juice drinks," he said. |

It's just as well that I switched over to aspartame when I was diagnosed with diabetes, isn't it?

And it hardly suggests that Diabetes is cureable. Did you not understand what you wrote? Asking if someone still has diabetes following a change in diet certainly does suggest that you think it's curable. Get real dimwit. and put yourself on your own list of of bizarros before you add others. Please learn the proper use of full stops and capital letters; it makes you look something of a dimwit whan you misuse them.

Maybe you will be able to tell us all how effective your switch has been? Like do you still have Diabetes? If so, what do you believe is the cause? I will have diabetes until I die. There is no cure. I do have it under reasonably good control, though, which I achieved by changing my diet, getting more exercise, and using medication )which I might not have to take forever). If I stop the metformin and go back to eating twice as much food as I need I will be back to where I was in a very short time. Nobody knows the cause, but, like many things, it appears to be a combination of genetics and environment. It is not caused by obesity (my spare tyre was a result of insulin resistance, not a cause), it is not caused by lethargy, it is not caused by eating sugar. Finding a cause will take the search for a cure a long way forward. You suffer from a chronic incurable disease, so you should understand that even if all the signs and symptoms are controlled the disease is still there. Diabetes is no different. If I went a month without my blood glucose level ever rising above 5mmol/l at any time I would be ecstatic. But I wouldn't be cured. -- Peter Bowditch aa #2243 The Millenium Project http://www.ratbags.com/rsoles Australian Council Against Health Fraud http://www.acahf.org.au Australian Skeptics http://www.skeptics.com.au To email me use my first name only at ratbags.com |
