Women who enjoy eating chocolate candies may be prone to having colorectal cancer.
This study analyzed the link between fondness for chocolate candy and cancer risk in women. Researchers studied the chocolate candy consumption habits and cancer diagnosis rates among 161,808 postmenopausal women for a duration of 14.8 years.
Researchers found out that the risk of colorectal cancer rose by 18% among women who ate chocolate candy at least 1.5 times per week. The results of this study showed that greater intake of chocolate candy may facilitate the development of colorectal cancer in women.
