What Effect of eating starch on getting cancer of the large intestine?

Research on the relationship between starch consumption and large intestine cancer (colorectal cancer) is complex. High intake of refined starches and sugars may contribute to obesity and insulin resistance, which are risk factors for colorectal cancer. Conversely, whole grains, which are rich in complex starches, contain fiber and beneficial nutrients that may have a protective effect against cancer. Overall, a balanced diet with a focus on whole grains may lower the risk, while excessive consumption of refined starches could increase it.
