Basically that article says that cancer cells run on various carbohydrates. Glucose has been studied frequently. This study shows that glucose and fructose fuel cancer differently. Fructose encourages cell division.

Most of these studies are done in petri dishes. The reactions of cancer to sugars in the body is probably a little different. If I had cancer I'd probably try to have a near zero carb diet though.

[[Basically that article says that cancer cells run on various carbohydrates.]]

Do they run on it (as in they can not run if they aren’t exposed to it) or do they simply have an increased ability to multiply? and if so, what %?

I’m a % guy- 1-2-3 % not a worry to me- 10-15% Starting to become a little worrying, but not enough for me to change- 20-40% Yeah- I take it seriously

I don’t need a zero % in order to feel safe- (or safer I should say) I’ve aslready lived 12 years past the average lifespan of folks decades ago- when the average age was quite young- so anything from here on out is a bonus in my book, and I’ve determined I am not going to be hard-lined reckless, but I’m also not going to give up the last pleasures I have (Sugar- Pepsi) just to gain a 1-15% or so increased change of surviving cancer- Some might disagree with me, but that’s fine- I’ve made my mind up I’m going to enjoy life a bit while I have it, and when it ends, my fault or not, I’ll have lived enjoying it a little more than I would have by giving up sugar and feeling just as crappy as I do now and having to actually live a few more years of feeling crappy with No enjoyment of sugar thrown in to boot-

bottom lien for me I guess is 1-15% or so Meh- I’ll roll the dice- 20-40% or more- I’ll give it an effort- Begrudgingly

I’m actually trying to get as low as I can with carbs. I’ve cut my intake down to probably 20g a day and am trying to go lower (got to learn to drink coffee without sugar.) I’ve lost 25 lbs and feel pretty good.
