No link seen between high-carb diet, colon cancer | Reuters

No link seen between high-carb diet, colon cancer | Reuters:
"For the new study, researchers followed 73,000 middle-aged and older Chinese women over a decade, looking at the association between reported diet habits and the risk of developing colon cancer.

The women...completed detailed diet questionnaires that allowed the researchers to estimate the total glycemic load of their diets.

...When the researchers divided the study participants into five groups based on dietary glycemic load, they found no evidence that the women's risk of colorectal cancer increased along with glycemic load."
