Americans love sugar more than any other food.

Sugar is linked to a whole medical manual of illnesses… insomnia, hair loss, obesity, allergies, bipolar disorder, hypertension, heart disease, and of course, diabetes.

And yet, many people still consider it a harmless treat.

But new research is rekindling the urgency of the war on sugar. Scientists have discovered the worst sugar scourge…. It fuels the spread of can.cer, especially breast can.cer.

And removing it from your diet can actually reverse can.cer growth.

Sugar: A Powerful Fuel for Can.cer

Researchers at MD Anderson Can.cer Center in Texas have found that sugar can transform localized, non-threatening can.cers into deadly malignancies that spread throughout the body.

The findings help explain what oncologists have noticed for years… Patients who eat sugary foods are more likely to have advanced can.cer.

Regular table sugar, or sucrose, is actually made up of two sugars: glucose and fructose. The study found that fructose caused tumors to grow larger and faster than glucose.

Fructose is primarily processed by the liver, while glucose is processed by the pancreas and other organs. These two different processing systems could explain the research findings.

Of course, the sugar industry attacked the study. They pointed out that fructose occurs naturally in fruit. The researchers countered that some fructose is necessary for the body. But Americans eat far more of it than they could ever ingest from fruit.

And fruits contain fiber and other healthy components mixed with fructose. Sugary drinks, the primary source of sugar in the American diet, provide no nutrition.
