Sugar Identified as a Top Cause of the Surge in Cancer
As noted by the Dental Tribune:5
"... [T]he substantial impact of sugar consumption found in the study was mainly due to the costs of treating caries and other diseases of the hard tissue of teeth, hypertensive and cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, rectal and colon cancer, as well as chronic kidney disease."
The excess consumption of sugar in the US can be directly traced to flawed dietary guidelines and misplaced agricultural subsidies. Progress is being made however, with the 2015 to 2020 U.S. dietary guidelines9 now recommending limiting your sugar intake to a maximum of 10 percent of your daily calories.

That article doesn't hold much weight. It's just speculation based on a survey of medical professionals. Basically it's an opinion of a bunch of opinions conducted by a bank. I do think most people do eat too much sugar. It has also been proven that low carb is better for some cancers while it will make other types more aggressive. It's hard enough to figure out what is best for an individual since a lot of the research has been contradictory. Simply adding an opinion as this article does only confuses matters for others since he tries to portray it as fact.

Maybe so, CatHearder, but it is SOMETHING that we are doing differently to cause these spikes in non contagious deadly diseases which happened to start increasing along with the onset of agriculture revolution. The positive effects I've seen in my own body since changing my WOE, and these theories are enough to get me on board.

The article does cite sources where this information is found: "Sugar (mono- & disaccharides) as a risk factor
According to the evidence-based guidelines for carbohydrates of the German Nutrition Society, no direct correlation exists between the intake of mono- and disaccharides (MDS) and the prevalence of clinical endpoints. However, there is convincing evidence that the intake of sugar-sweetened beverages correlates with developing overweight/obesity, diabetes type II and the metabolic syndrome. Further, there is some indication (possible evidence) of a relationship between the excessive intake of MDS and pancreatic cancer, colon cancer as well as chronic kidney disease as a comorbidity of diabetes, hypertension and kidney stones. In a cross-sectional study, Basu et al. (2013) detected a 1.1% increase (CI95%: 0.48%-1.7%) in the prevalence of diabetes as a result of the extra uptake of 150 kcal sugar per person per day, which is the equivalent of 35g of sugar. The substantial impact of sugar consumption on dental caries and other diseases of the hard tissues of teeth is described in"
