Colon cancer continues to be a leading cause of cancer deaths, as the number of newly diagnosed cases continue to grow concurrent with the rate of overweight, obesity and processed food consumption. This may come as no surprise to natural health followers who understand that fried and hydrogenated foods alter cell structure and metabolism and refined carbohydrates and sugars boost insulin and blood glucose levels as they provide fuel for cancer cell growth and propagation.
Dutch researchers have published the results of their work in the journal, Cancer that explains how eating unhealthy snack foods may increase the risk of colorectal cancer in people with a genetic susceptibility to certain types of cancer. Although this study focused on patients with a condition known as Lynch syndrome, an inherited syndrome caused by mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes and characterized by development of colorectal cancer, and other cancers at an early age, the results are relevant to all individuals that consume a diet of processed snack foods.
