Health studies link alcohol to cancer risk and dietary habits to blood sugar

alcohol consumption cancer mortality blood sugar management dietary health nutritional science

A large-scale study published in JAMA Network Open involving approximately 135,000 adults aged 60 and older has found that regular alcohol consumption is linked to an increased risk of cancer mortality. Dr. Rosario Ortolá, the study's lead author from the Autonomous University of Madrid, noted that harmful effects on cancer mortality can be observed from the very first instances of consumption. The research highlights that individuals with existing health issues or lower socioeconomic status are particularly vulnerable to these risks.

In related nutritional health discussions, experts suggest managing blood sugar levels through dietary choices. For those monitoring glucose, legume-based pastas—made from chickpeas, lentils, or black beans—offer higher protein and fiber content with fewer carbohydrates compared to refined white flour pasta.

Additionally, health warnings emphasize the impact of sugary beverages on glucose spikes. Sweetened iced teas and carbonated sodas are identified as significant sources of rapid sugar absorption. For example, a 470ml serving of sweetened tea can contain roughly 39 grams of sugar, while certain fruit-flavored sodas may contain up to 68 grams per serving.
