The weather is hot, so drink a refreshing drink to cool off and quench your thirst. However, consuming sugary drinks that use high-fructose corn sugar as a “sweetener” not only easily leads to weight gain, wider waistlines, diabetes, etc., but may also increase the risk of colorectal cancer. risks of.
A study published by Cornell Medical College in the United States and published in the Journal of Science pointed out that the sweetener made of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) often used in sugar-sweetened beverages may increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Experimenters fed glandular colon polyp gene mutant mice 400 μL of 25% corn syrup solution every day, which is equivalent to the human body’s daily intake of a 340 c.c. can of cola. After 8 weeks, they found that the large intestinal polyps in the mouse intestines grew longer. Big. The main ingredients of corn syrup are glucose and fructose. If a human consumes 5 grams of fructose at a time, it will reach the upper limit of absorption in the small intestine. Isotope tests show that tumors use a large amount of fructose. Therefore, it is recommended that people with a high risk of colorectal polyps avoid drinking sugary drinks. People with colorectal cancer who consume high-fructose corn syrup are feeding cancer cells.

Nutritionist Jue Jiaxin once reminded that “high fructose syrup” is generally used as a sweetener in soda, drinks, pastries, bread, etc., because this artificial sweetener is made from starch. Flavoring agent, the sweetness is higher than that of sucrose, and the sweetness effect can be achieved even with a smaller amount. However, because high-fructose corn syrup is mainly metabolized in the liver through fructokinase, it can easily increase endogenous lipid synthesis in the liver, leading to fatty liver, dyslipidemia and other problems. Its intermediate product “adenine” will be metabolized into uric acid, increasing gout and There is a risk of urinary tract stones, and it will also have an impact on the endocrine system, leading to insulin resistance, increased inflammation, type 2 diabetes, obesity and other problems, which are harmful to health.
According to a report in Changchun Monthly, Yan Rongcheng, director of the Colorectal and Proctology Department of Taiwan Adventist Hospital, pointed out that the growth of cancer cells and pancreatic cancer are all related to sugar. Past studies have found that the fructose in corn syrup will be converted into anaerobic substances, which are equivalent to nutrients for tumor cells, and may even cause tumors to spread again. If you really want to consume it, choose dessert drinks that use pure sucrose.
