  Seven types of foods that patients with colorectal cancer should avoid. According to the 2007 Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) 298(7):754).  "Conclusions: Higher intake of a Western dietary pattern may be associated with a higher risk of recurrence and mortality among patients with stage III colon cancer treated with surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. Further studies are needed to delineate which components of such a diet show the strongest association." The early treatment rate of colorectal cancer is very high.

As long as your blood sugar is well controlled and diabetic patients want to eat a small amount of sweets, it is permissible and will not cause serious health hazards. Does eating too much sweets cause diabetes? The reason is not so simple. Diabetes is divided into type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Eating too much sugar is not directly related to type 1 diabetes.

After ordinary people eat, glucose is produced during the digestion and decomposition of food. When the pancreas feels the stimulation of glucose, it will secrete "insulin" to let glucose enter the cells and convert it into energy, so that our body has enough energy. However, if the body lacks insulin, or the cells cannot use insulin and produce (Insulin Resistance; IR), the sugar in the blood cannot enter the cells, causing the body to lack nutrition and damage blood vessels at the same time, and "diabetes" is formed. Therefore, the key reason for diabetes is whether the body has "secreted enough" insulin and whether it can "correctly use" insulin. Please refer to the following items to evaluate your own situation. 1. There are diabetic patients in the family. 2. gestational diabetes mellitus. 3. Fatty ...
