Читать книгу The GL Diet Made Easy: How to Eat, Cheat and Still Lose Weight - Nigel Denby - Страница 21

As with type 2 diabetes and some female health problems, some cancers are linked to our hormones. Breast, endometrial and prostate cancers have all been linked to the levels of insulin in our blood. Cancers of the digestive tract (stomach and colorectal) also seem to be linked to levels of insulin and other related compounds in the body. High levels of insulin occur when high-GL foods are eaten (see Chapter 2.)

Research has also shown that a high-GL diet is positively related to the risk of colorectal, prostate, stomach, endometrial and breast cancers. This is most likely due to the effect high-GL foods have on our insulin levels.
