Q. What causes cancer?
A. Everything.
Now no one needs to watch the series. :)
hey whiskey. I know sugar causes diabetes especially in the obese. What the heck happened to me. You know I lost 100 pounds but I was at 400 for about 6 years. Just the genes? because I was semi athletic at least until 35? Now 47. I’m just wondering. acquaintances I know that are that heavy are falling apart with diabetes swollen ankles and a million other things. I guess I just got lucky. But the weight is beginning to weigh on my legs and knees.

Come on... Really ?
I quit smoking pot years ago
Then drinking to excess
Finally got chasing wild women under control
Then quit smoking cigarettes
Haven’t had a speeding ticket in 15 years
I even say excuse me no matter what gas I pass
I’m basically down to cookies and milk and ice cream
Almost old enough to start wetting my pants
Can you please stop it with the guilt trips ?
"Abstract
Carbohydrate metabolism via glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle is pivotal for cancer growth, and increased refined carbohydrate consumption adversely affects cancer survival. Traditionally, glucose and fructose have been considered as interchangeable monosaccharide substrates that are similarly metabolized, and little attention has been given to sugars other than glucose. However, fructose intake has increased dramatically in recent decades and cellular uptake of glucose and fructose uses distinct transporters. Here, we report that fructose provides an alternative substrate to induce pancreatic cancer cell proliferation. Importantly, fructose and glucose metabolism are quite different; in comparison with glucose, fructose induces thiamine-dependent transketolase flux and is preferentially metabolized via the nonoxidative pentose phosphate pathway to synthesize nucleic acids and increase uric acid production. These findings show that cancer cells can readily metabolize fructose to increase proliferation. They have major significance for cancer patients given dietary refined fructose consumption, and indicate that efforts to reduce refined fructose intake or inhibit fructose-mediated actions may disrupt cancer growth.

I would assume that if “60 Minutes” reports it ... it must be settled “science”.... but you can’t see it because of National Security concerns!
