Are there specific dietary constituents in energy-dense foods and beverages that seem to cause cancer?
Energy density is the amount of energy (in kcal) per weight (usually 100 g) of food. Foods made primarily of highly processed ingredients often contain substantial amounts of fat or sugar and tend to be energy-dense. The evidence shows that it is not specific dietary constituents in energy-dense foods and beverages that are problematic, so much as the calories they contain. Energy-dense foods and sweetened beverages should be consumed sparingly.
