Obstetrician Zheng Chengjie“The Doctor is Hot”A case was shared in China, referring to a 28-year-old girl who was accompanied by her mother due to abnormal lower body bleeding. The girl weighs 125 kg and has a BMI index of 50. The normal index for women should be in the range of 18.5-24. After re-examination, he was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. The mother said that her daughter’s problem of being overweight has existed since middle school, and she has always had polycystic ovaries, but she has not dealt with the problem because it does not hinder her life. The mother then suddenly asked, “Does it matter if you like to eat sweets?”, because her daughter loved to drink carbonated drinks since she was a child, used sweets as her main meal, and even drank 3 cups of hand-cranked drinks a day.
Dr. Cheng Chengjie Cheng said immediately that eating sweets has an impact, because sweets can cause obesity, and obesity is also a high-risk factor for endometrial cancer. However, due to the early detection of cancer, the girl did not need to remove the uterus in the end, and only treated with progesterone to reverse the disease, and then actively lost weight to 85 kg to avoid cancer recurrence.
Sweets are uterine killers
Dr. Cheng Chengjie Cheng said that sweets are uterine killers, and cited a Swedish study that said that eating sweets 2-3 times a week increases the risk of endometrial cancer by 33%; eating 4 or more times will increase the risk of endometrial cancer by 42%. The doctor finally warned that sweets affect women not only the uterus, but also the ovaries, breasts, and vaginal health. People who love sweets are often affected by fungal infections. Women are reminded to eat less sweets.
High-sugar diets increase cancer risk
According to the standards of the Hong Kong Centre for Food Safety, food containing more than 15 grams of sugar per 100 grams is considered a “high-sugar” food; food containing no more than 5 grams of sugar per 100 grams can be called “low-sugar” food. In addition to sweets, a lot of sugar is often added to cooking salty foods, such as meat sauce and dried pork rice, which are also “high-sugar” foods. A high-sugar diet increases the risk of various diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and pancreatic cancer.
According to the recommendation of the World Health Organization (WHO), the daily intake of sugar should account for less than 10% of the daily calorie intake. If it can be reduced to 5%, it is better for health. For children aged 2 to 3 years, they need to consume regarding 1,200 calories per day, or regarding 15 grams (3 teaspoons) or less.
