Sweet Snacks Triggers Uterus Cancer?

Women simply can not be separated from the habit of eating sweet foods such as cheese cake, chocolate cake, bread, until the biscuits. Snacking habits of the one that makes the female body more easily stretched.
However, the effect is not only that. According to a recent study, snacking habits of sugary foods can increase the risk of uterine cancer.
Published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, the study said the consumption of two or three times a week sweets, women tend to make 33 percent more likely to suffer from the disease than those who rarely. Even if such practices occur more than three times a week, the risk of uterine cancer will increase to 42 percent.
However, this possibility is still weak results because of the respondents was 18-year-olds whose population is only a few percent of the female population as a whole.
The study described the impact as a simple thing, but it still requires further investigation. UK cancer experts also say that it is premature to draw conclusions.
To find the relationship between sweet foods and cervical cancer, the Swedish scientists are studying data from thousands of women in the period 1987 and 1990. The study has answered dozens of questions related to health diet, lifestyle, weight and general health. Ten years later, they are still alive to answer broader questions about their eating habits.
In 2008, the researchers matched the woman's answers to their medical records. This is done to look for cervical cancer diagnosis. The result, they found 729 cases of 61,226 women studied.
There is little or almost no increase in risk from eating foods that contain high levels of sugar such as candy, soft drinks or soda, and or jam. However, women who frequently snacked on cookies, bread, biscuits which also has a high sugar content have a tendency menngidap 42 percent of cancer than those who only occasionally eat them.
Unfortunately, not clear what the reasons related to the relationship between sweet foods and ovarian cancer.
These studies only look at how often things are done and do not see how much they eat sweet foods. However, intake of 35 grams of sugar a day can both increase the risk of tumors by 36 percent.
Scientists from Stockholm's Karolinska Institute said that there are some ways sweet snacks can increase the risk of disease. One is the excess of sugar makes the body release more insulin, which stimulates growth of cells in the endometrium or lining of the uterus to excess.
In addition, excess glucose can also increase the levels of the hormone estrogen has been shown to trigger the uncontrolled growth of cells, which are characteristic of cancer cells.
"This study suggests eating lots of sugar and certain sugary foods can increase the risk of uterine cancer, but we need to see further results from other large studies before we can draw firm conclusions," said Yinka Ebo, Senior Manager of Cancer Research UK's health information, quoted by the Daily Mail
