• Sugar
• Sucrose
• Disaccharides
• Glycemic index
• Glycemic load
• Cancer
• Obesity

Objectives: The aim of this review is to summarize the evidence available about the association between sugar consumption, especially sucrose, and the risk of different types of cancer. %26lt;br%26gt;Methods: A systematic review was conducted of key reports, systematic reviews, meta-analysis as well as big prospective studies published after 2007 January 1 thru 2012 December 31 about the association between sugar consumption, especially sucrose, and the risk of cancer. %26lt;br%26gt;Results: Evidence of the association of the intake of mono- and disaccharides with different types of cancer is insufficient or there is evidence of lack of association. There is only possible evidence of a positive relation between the intake of monosaccharides (fructose and glucose) and pancreatic cancer. Evidence about the association between monosaccharides%26apos; intake and obesity is insufficient, as well as between the intake of sucrose or added sugars and the risk of obesity in adults and children. There is possible evidence of a positive association between glycemic index (GI) and colorectal cancer and that there is no association between GI and the risk of endometrial cancer, breast cancer and pancreas cancer. %26lt;br%26gt;Conclusion: More research is needed. Cohort studies are especially required and randomized intervention trials would be desirable, although these are difficult in this field.
