Sugary Breakfast Can Cause Cancer

Some experts are here to state that white bread and a sugar-filled breakfast like cereals, etc can cause cancer. The Sydney scientists have made a dangerous discovery that those diet foods which have a high GI (Glycemic Index) and that which are burnt more easily by the body can be cancerous.

How does GI measure the risk of cancer?

Experts are of the opinion that the glycemic index measures how different types of food affect the sugar levels in the body, as compared to a healthier and lower GI diet food that is lost more slowly by the body.

Nutrition experts from the University of Sydney analyzed about 37 diet studies which were based on 2 million people across the globe. The experts tried to establish the effects of high GI diets on people.

Results of the study

This study arrived on some dangerous consequences of high GI diet foods on health. For instance, the following outcomes of eating high GI diet foods were revealed:

• High GI diet foods can increase the risks of type 2 diabetes and heart disease
• High GI diet foods were also said to cause gall bladder stones and some types of cancers
• High GI diet foods cause spikes in the blood glucose which in turn increases the insulin levels and boosts the grow of an additional substance named by them as
  

  “insulin-like growth factor one”

  .

• Both the increasing insulin levels and the substance were established as significant risks for developing cancer

Caryl Nowson, a professor from the Deakin University, Melbourne further emphasized that high GI diets actually contained high fat and sugar levels. On the other hand, such foods were lacking in fiber. She asserts that these factors could contribute to the development of cancer in people.

The professor went a step ahead to explain that a

well-balanced diet

can alone prevent the intake of high GI foods. For example, foods rich in fiber and scarce in fats and sugar can help ward off heart diseases, diabetes, gall bladder stones or cancer for that matter.
