Effects of excessive energy intake from fructose- vs. high fructose corn syrup (HFCS)- vs. glucose-sweetened beverages on fasting plasma IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 concentrations
Epidemiological studies indicate that added sugar consumption and plasma concentrations of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) are associated with increased cancer risk, particularly for breast and colorectal cancers, but data are less clear for many other cancers (references). Insulin, which stimulates the production and release of IGF-1, is released post-prandially after glucose consumption, but not after…
