Processed sugars have inflammatory effects on the body tissue in general, which contributes to prostate inflammation and enlargement over time.

Research has found that obese men and those with high blood sugar levels are 3 times at higher risk of developing enlarged prostate.

Plus, besides the inflammatory effect of sugar, high blood sugar levels lead to more insulin release, hence increasing the insulin-like peptide concentration in the blood. This promotes cellular proliferation and contributes to tumor growth.
