Be careful, Diet Cause Cancer in Women

Be careful if you go on a diet without consulting with a health professional. Activity diet was potentially triggering colorectal cancer.

Research conducted Simmons College in Boston, USA found that a diet associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer in women. The occurrence of these risks are the result of a specific eating pattern associated with the concentration of C-peptide levels, increased protein in women. Improvement is what triggers cancer.

C-peptide is a marker of insulin secretion that can be measured in the blood. High levels of insulin may be the cause of the growth and multiplication of cells. One of the main characteristics of cancer is abnormal cell growth. High levels of C-peptide and insulin, triggering the growth of cancer cells.

"Colon cancer appears to be one type of cancer that is sensitive to insulin," said professor of nutrition at Simmons College, Teresa T. Fung. According to the professor, the research provides a more complete picture of what happened on the mechanism and the relationship between diet and risk of colorectal cancer.

Fung and his team conducted a survey of a number of women every two years to get their health information, including whether they were diagnosed with colorectal cancer. They also studied the eating habits of the women by giving a questionnaire containing 130 food items and asked how often they eat those foods.

After 22 years later, there were 985 cases of colorectal cancer and 758 cases of colon cancer diagnosed among women. The researchers found that women who most often eat fish, red meat, and sweet drinks in large quantities, but rarely consume coffee, grains, and dairy products, has a 35 percent risk of colorectal cancer.

In addition, researchers also found that people who are overweight or inactive, is more sensitive to diet. Colorectal cancer risk was also higher than those suffered by active women.
