Tumors Have a Taste for Fructose, If It’s Transformed by the Liver

Dietary fructose promotes tumor growth in animal models of melanoma, breast cancer, and cervical cancer.

One of the first studies of its kind, and hope to see more in the future.

Makes me think back to Steve Jobs that died from pancreatic cancer and chose to go on an all fruit diet to try and treat the cancer(he was primarily all fruit and vegetables before the cancer diagnosis as well)... and he may have been fueling it even more all along as fructose is the main kind of sugar in fruits.

I don't hold out much hope, but I really hope that RFK can make some inroads regarding our overuse of high fructose corn syrup. I personally do not find it coincidental that the rise in obesity and Type II diabetes in the US started around the time that HFCS use began in the '70s.

Real food.

If you can find it.

Research reveals how fructose in diet enhances tumor growth

Fructose is a sweetener added to ultra-processed foods, typically in the form of high-fructose corn syrup. WashU research shows that the liver turns fructose into lipids that many types of cancers crave.
