Dietary sugar and Barrett’s esophagus

INTRODUCTION: Barrett’s esophagus (BE) represents the premalignant morphology of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Evidence indicates a positive correlation between GERD vs. obesity and increased sugar consumption. METHODS: Here we analyzed recently published data (2006–2017) on the role of di...

Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Barrett’s esophagus (BE) represents the premalignant morphology of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Evidence indicates a positive correlation between GERD vs. obesity and increased sugar consumption. METHODS: Here we analyzed recently published data (2006–2017) on the role of dietary sugar intake for BE development (main focus year 2017). RESULTS: Recent investigations found a positive association between obesity, hip waist ratio and dietary sugar intake and Barrett’s esophagus. CONCLUSION: Sugar intake positively associates with BE. A low carbohydrate diet should be recommended for persons with BE and GERD.
