A member asked:
I eat fair amounts of simple sugars does this increase risk of cancer even if i'm slightly underweight? or does being overweight increase the risks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sugar cancer: I am not aware of a correlation between sugar intake and cancer. Of course correlation is not causation. Living in London the air quality is more likely a risk. The greatest of course is smoking or being around smokers. The best test of the sugar Ho would be to assign 10,000 to eat different sugar diets and see who dies of what. Will probably never be done,
