Sugar linked to Bowel Disorders

If your digestive system gives you trouble, eat less sugar. This study linked a high-sugar diet to slow bowel movements, watery stools, and diarrhea. These results, the researchers say, "support the practice of excluding high simple-sugar foods from the diets of patients with certain gastrointestinal disorders. For those individuals, we suspect that doses of simple sugars. . . could result in symptoms of intolerance and malabsorption." - M. M. Yadrick et aI., "Comparison of the effects of diets high and low in simple sugars on bowel function in healthy, lactose-tolerant men," Journal o/the American Dietetic Association 92 (1992): 1121-23.
