Research Shows That Sugar Might Fuel Growth of Cancer

Research shows that people who consume more sugar have a higher risk of cancer, and one type of sugar in particular.

Cancer Research Journal published findings that suggest people who consume more sugar have a higher risk of cancer, especially breast cancer. The findings show that a Western-style diet may have a major risk factor for different types of cancer. Meanwhile, other research shows that two-thirds of cancer cases come down to lifestyle choices.

The sugar, fructose, affects the metabolic process and causes cells to spread quicker which is the reason why it may cause cancer to grow.
