Experts have been warning for years about the close link between the increased prevalence of colorectal cancer and the degradation of diet.

An almost direct causal relationship between the consumption of ultra-processed meat or the consumption of alcohol and colorectal cancer has been reported for years. But what we still did not know is the relationship between sugars and this devastating disease.

A new study published just a few days ago led by the Washington University School of Medicine in Sant Louis has found a link between the consumption of sugary drinks and an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer in women under 50. According to experts, fructose – a type of sugar – suppress the ability to satiate and this contributes to weight gain. In turn, this supervening obesity greatly facilitates the type of inflammations that most colorectal cancers cause.

The great ally against this cancer is physical exercise, experts point out. Since exercise has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect and this undoubtedly contributes to reducing the incidence of the disease. So if you want to keep MiWEndo devices away from you, you know what to do!
