Do you have high blood sugar? If so, you're increasing your risk for a number of chronic diseases, new research suggests.
A recent study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that men with pre-diabetes are more likely to develop colon cancer.Researchers tested blood samples from approximately 15,000 male doctors for C-peptide, a protein that indicates insulin levels. They found that men with the highest C-peptide levels - and therefore the highest insulin levels - were almost three times more likely to develop colon cancer than men with the lowest C-peptide levels.Take control of your blood sugar and you'll do a world of good for your health! Choose low glycemic foods and healthy fats to keep blood sugar levels in check and help guard against colon cancer.
