Carbohydrate Nutrition and the Risk of Cancer

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review summarizes a selection of epidemiologic research assessing the associations between carbohydrate intake and cancer incidence and survival. Evidence for plausible biological mechanisms is also considered. RECENT FINDINGS: The mechanistic paradigm explaining the relation...

description PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review summarizes a selection of epidemiologic research assessing the associations between carbohydrate intake and cancer incidence and survival. Evidence for plausible biological mechanisms is also considered. RECENT FINDINGS: The mechanistic paradigm explaining the relationship between carbohydrates and cancer risk has been contested by numerous observational studies. SUMMARY: Carbohydrates have conventionally been ascribed a deleterious role in the field of cancer research due to previous preclinical findings. A breadth of studies suggests that complex carbohydrate intake is inversely associated with risk of a number of cancer types. Data from studies assessing simple carbohydrates and cancer risk are mixed. Furthermore, recommendations for subsequent studies are framed.
