ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Barrett's esophagus (BE) represents the premalignant morphology of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Evidence indicates a positive correlation between GERD vs. obesity and increased sugar consumption.METHODS:
Here we analyzed recently published data (2006-2017) on the role of dietary sugar intake for BE development (main focus year 2017).RESULTS:
Recent investigations found a positive association between obesity, hip waist ratio and dietary sugar intake and Barrett's esophagus.CONCLUSION:
Sugar intake positively associates with BE. A low carbohydrate diet should be recommended for persons with BE and GERD.
