From the journal the Annals of Oncology, 2001: This study was conducted by a research team from univerities in Canada, Italy, and France. This research studied the effects of the type and amount of carbohydrate on over 5,000 women to assess their risk of breast cancer. The researchers found that high glycemic diets increased the risk of breast cancer. They concluded that there is a direct connection between glycemic load and breast cancer risk.

From Harvard University, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and ScienceDaily Magazine, 2002: A Harvard research team used 18 years of data from 88,000 women who were participating in the famous Nurses Health Study to investigate whether a diet high in foods that easily raise blood glucose levels increase the risk of developing pancreatic cancer. They found that women who were overweight, sedentary, and had the highest glycemic load (ate the most carbs) increased their risk of pancreatic cancer by 250%.

From the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, National Cancer Institute and the Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2002: The researchers followed two groups of men to determine if a low fat diet offered protection against the development of prostate cancer. The researchers tracted the men's PSA levels and the number cases of prostate cancers that developed over 4 years. The first group was placed on a low-fat, high-fruit, high-vegetable, high-fiber diet while the second group's diet was unchanged. After 4 years, the researchers reported that the low fat diet had no effect on PSA levels or the development of prostate cancer.

From The National Brain Tumor Foundation, 2002: This national foundation instructs brain tumor survivors to avoid sugars and other high fiber, high glycemic foods because of the scientific evidence that sugar accelerates tumor growth. They also warn patients to avoid low fat diets because of evidence that selected dietary fats are beneficial in slowing tumor growth and decreasing siezure activity.

From The University of Toronto and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), 2000: These Canadian researchers found that fasting insulin levels predict survival for women with breast cancer. High levels of insulin put women at significantly higher risk of recurrence and death from breast cancer despite standard therapy. The authors state that insulin prompts breast cancer cells to grow. They also found that higher fasting insulin levels was related to obesity.
