Dietas basadas en animales y riesgo de cáncer de colon
Las dietas bajas en carbohidratos basadas en animales aumentan el riesgo de cáncer de colon
Según The Singapore Chinese Health Study, se descubrió que consumir una dieta basada en animales y baja en carbohidratos aumenta el riesgo de desarrollar cáncer de colon. Sin embargo, las dietas bajas en carbohidratos centradas en alimentos de origen vegetal no presentaban el mismo riesgo [1]. Se ha demostrado que las carnes rojas y procesadas aumentan el riesgo de cáncer de colon junto con otros tipos de cáncer [2].

Animal-Based Low-Carbohydrate Diets Increase the Risk of Colon Cancer
Consuming an animal-based, low-carbohydrate diet was found to increase the risk of developing colon cancer, according to The Singapore Chinese Health Study. Low-carbohydrate diets that were centered around plant-based foods, however, did not have the same risk [1]. Processed and red meat have been shown to increase the risk of colon cancer alongside other types of cancer [2].
