A new study published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Mile Markers,

and Prevention is presenting evidence of the link between the

consumption of refined carbohydrates and cancer. This case-controlled

study looked at the dietary habits of over 1,800 women in Mexico, and

found that those who got 57% or more of their total energy intake from

carbohydrates showed a 220% higher risk of breast cancer than women with

more balanced diets.

 

This study shows that foods with high glycemic index values -- that is,

foods that more quickly raise blood sugar levels in the human body --

actually accelerate the growth of cancer cells and tumors in the human

body. Researchers involved with the study propose that the correlation

between the consumption of refined carbohydrates and breast cancer could

be related to elevated levels of insulin and the fact that many breast

cancer tumors are encouraged and supported by high levels of insulin in

the body.

 

 

 

To anyone who has read some of the books about sugar, refined

carbohydrates, low carb dieting, or even my own book, called Low carb

Diet Warning, none of this should be a surprise. We in the holistic

nutrition (see related ebook on nutrition) world have long known that

the consumption of processed carbohydrates actually causes cancer, and

not just breast cancer, either. It actually promotes many forms of

cancer, including colon cancer. Thankfully, new scientific evidence is

now appearing that supports these notions.

 

But many people in the general public still do not know that consuming

refined carbohydrates causes cancer, and thus they continue to drink

soft drinks containing high-fructose corn syrup, they continue to eat

breakfast cereals loaded with sugars and corn syrup, and they continue

to eat large amounts of white flour in products like pancakes, breads,

pastries, cookies, and crackers, oblivious to the idea that they are

actually giving themselves cancer.

 

Once again, we see that preventing cancer comes down to dietary choice.

One of the easiest things a person can do to prevent cancer, based on

this research, is to avoid all processed carbohydrates. That means

eliminating from your diet refined white flour, refined white sugar,

milled grains, and ingredients like high-fructose corn syrup. These

ingredients are all man-made or artificially processed ingredients that

are not normally found in nature. You don't find refined white sugar

growing in the sugar cane fields. You don't see white flour growing on

wheat grass stalks in the field. Instead, you see whole grains growing

in nature, and it is these whole grains that should be consumed by human

beings if they wish to attain a high degree of health.

 

This research also indicates why low carb dieters and people following

the Atkins diet may be doing themselves a huge favor in terms of disease

prevention. Avoiding processed carbohydrates reduces your risk of being

diagnosed with cancer. Unfortunately, many low carb dieters, as you may

know, end up consuming other cancer-causing ingredients that are present

in many low carb foods. Those ingredients can include sodium nitrite,

monosodium glutamate, and artificial chemical sweeteners such as

aspartame, also known as NutraSweet.

 

So, the real story here is to avoid processed carbohydrates as much as

you can. At the same time, avoid chemical additives that are found in

processed foods, especially artificial sweeteners and chemical taste

enhancers. The foods that you should be consuming to support outstanding

human health are the same ones we've been talking about here for years,

and those are natural foods found in nature, such as whole grains, nuts,

seeds, vegetables, fruits, and healthy oils.
