"The healthy dietary pattern was found to be associated with a decreased colorectal cancer risk, while the western dietary pattern was found to be associated with an increased risk."
People whose diets include high amounts of soft drinks and sweet treats could be putting themselves at risk of bowel cancer, according to new research.
In a wide-ranging study, researchers examined more than 170 foods including fruit, vegetables, fish and meat, as well as high-energy snack foods like chocolates, nuts and crisps and fruit drinks including fruit squash.
The scientists reported that a high intake of high energy snacks and sugar-sweetened drinks were factors linked to an increased chance of developing colorectal cancer.
The study, carried out in 2012, builds on previous research into the link between bowel cancer and diet. Those studies identified two distinct eating patterns – one, high in fruit, vegetables and other healthy foods and the other – known as the western pattern, which is high in meat, fat and sugar.
