Reduce Colon Cancer Risk by 30%
More than 150,000 people are diagnosed with colorectal cancer yearly. Another 35,000 will get a liver cancer diagnosis.
But if you have type 2 diabetes, your risk of developing one of these skyrockets—a 47 percent increased risk of colorectal cancer, and a two to three times higher risk of liver cancer.
That’s why I’m excited about new research showing how to reduce the risk of these deadly cancers in type 2 diabetics by up to 30 percent.
A team of scientists combed through research on tens of thousands of type 2 diabetics to see if there was a connection between how well they managed their blood sugar levels and their cancer risk.
I’m sure you’ve guessed the answer.
In terms of colorectal cancer, as HbA1c levels (a measurement of blood sugar levels over several months) increased, so did the cancer risk.
- 0 to <7.5 = 34 percent increased risk
- 5 to <8.0 = 30 percent increased risk
- 0 to <8.5 = 44 percent increased risk
- >8.5 = 58 percent increased risk
Overall, those who had optimal control of their diabetes had a 28 percent lower risk of colorectal cancer than those with suboptimal levels.
There were similar connections between blood sugar control and liver cancer.
- 0 to <8.0 = 29 percent increased risk
- 0 to <9.0 = 67 percent increased risk
- >9.0 = 71 percent increased risk
Overall, those who had optimal control of their diabetes had a 30 percent lower risk of liver cancer than those with suboptimal levels.
This research reveals that the power to prevent cancer can be in YOUR hands.
By diligently managing your blood sugar levels, not only will you be lowering your risk of cancer, but a host of other issues, to boot.
Staying active, getting good rest, and hearing a healthy whole foods diet can help tame your blood sugar. And remember, as I explained just last week, time-restricted evening is a proven way to reduce blood sugar. If you missed that issue, CLICK HERE to catch up.
