A link between carbohydrate intake, obesity and the rising incidence of esophageal cancer is suspected, according to The American Journal of Gastroenterology. For the United States, the latter jumped from 300,000 in '73. up to 2.1 million in 2001 This also reflects the increased consumption of carbohydrates and the frequency of problematic body weight.
Obesity has been blamed for being a risk factor for many malignancies. The importance of refined carbohydrates is great. No other correlation was found for other nutrients, at least for esophageal cancer.
Scientists hope that reducing the consumption of confectionery, for example, will lead to a decline in the incidence of the disease. Its etiology remains unknown. It is usually detected late and the prognosis in patients is pessimistic. The 5-year survival rate is estimated at only 20%.
