Opposite to the old beliefs that colorectal cancer is the disease of old age, more and more early-onset colorectal cancer cases are being diagnosed. It is pushing the researchers to find out the causes behind this increase in incidents of below-50 colorectal cancer. The researchers are studying it from various angles. A few days ago I shared a post where I discussed a study that showed that Vitamin D is somewhat protective against colorectal cancer. Today we will see a study result regarding colorectal cancer. It is from WedMD.

This study shows that those who consumed too many sugary beverages during their teenage and adolescent periods had more than a 2-fold risk of early-onset colorectal cancer. Although critics are sceptical about this study findings, the harmful effects of the sugary beverage are well known. Diabetes and weight gain have strong relationships with the sugary beverage.
The study was done over 95,464 nurses. They were followed up over the next 24 years to see if any of them developed early-onset colorectal cancer or not. Of them, in 41,272 participants, the researchers tried to find out the relationship between sugary beverage consumption and the development of colorectal cancer below 50 years of age. At the end of the study period, 109 participants developed colorectal cancer. They had a history of consuming two or more sugary beverages per day.
