The findings, reported in the journal Nature Communications, help unravel what has been a scientific mystery to medical researchers precisely how sugar makes tumors grow faster. The new understanding could help lead to new ways to combat cancer, through diet and other modifications of sugar intake.
The research team led by Johan Thevelein, Wim Versées and Veerle Janssens have been studying sugars link to cancer for nearly a decade. They, and other scientists, have determined tumor cells grow by rapidly breaking down glucose (a form of sugar) a phenomenon known as the Warburg effect.
But the new research determined precisely how. The Belgian team found that yeast with high levels of glucose overstimulate proteins often found mutated inside human tumors, making cells grow faster.
"[The study] is able to explain the correlation between the strength of the Warburg effect and tumor aggressiveness," Thevelein, from KU Leuven in Belgium, said in a release.

Sugar causes cancer?
Must be a month with an R in it.
Otherwise the reports are out that sugar DOESN’T cause cancer.

Yeast with sugar — doesn’t sound good for those on the beer diet.
Very interesting. Perhaps a tighter than normal, and slightly lower than normal sugar band would help the surrounding milieu less favorable to rapid cancer cell growth, which could plausibly make other therapies more effective.
Maybe just controlling sugar spikes through low-glycemic diet would do the trick.
Obviously, the above is speculative, and research would be required for an informed opinion.
Not causes, feeds.
I wish I could believe that eliminating sugar from the diet would kill cancer. I have my nearly 11 year old Labrador on essentially a zero carb raw food diet. His two external mast cell tumors appear to be stalled and not growing but so far there’s little sign of them regressing. He seems as happy and as lively as ever, battling for 18 months (only the last three on the low carb diet). So maybe it’s doing him good but the cancer isn’t regressing.
Its really sugar and other foods combined that contribute to certain cancers forming. What one eat is a good contributing factor in diseases forming in general; its not the only thing but its a big deal In why they do. Drinking sodas and eating store honey buns every now and then isnt going to make someone get cancer but most people here dont do every now and then.... they do it 3 or 4 times every day or it would seem. I dont tell people what to eat;its their choice but I dont want people complaining when their poor diet helps to make them take medication and doctors visits much earlier than their natural decline in lifespan
Yes. Especially those of the sarcoma variety. I don’t know a lot about it . . . but I was reading about this connection back 11 years ago when my Mother died from Ovarian Cancer, a sarcoma based one, a short 2 months after diagnosis.
Dr. Atkins said this back in 1972 when his first book was published based on studies conducted by UK researcher Dr. John Yudkin.
[[Breakthrough Finding: How Sugar Fuels Cancer Growth]]
Ranchers have known this for a very long time and so has FDA
yet they still allow it to be added to everything .
Don’t ever low fat anything , they replace the fat with sugars that you don’t enjoy anyway . It’s way healthier to eat a chocolate bar than it is to eat low fat anything and it usually close to the same sugar anyway.
Your bodies cells don’t eat sugar but cancer cells do .
Drug companies obviously love the junk that sold as “healthy” food in this country (Grocery store yogurt , cereal bars etc are among the WORST things anyone can eat and they dare call them healthy foods )
next week... sugar cures cancer..
*sigh*
I get so tired of these “studies”

Is he getting healthy fats? Have you heard of the Budwig cancer diet, I guess it’s been adapted for pets, although seems to me like it could cause some diarrhea - I know with humans it’s basically flaxseed oil and cottage cheese, but the amount of oil can be slowly increased. You can Google Budwig cancer diet for pets.
I definitely believe sugar fuels cancer growth - and what do they tell cancer patients who can’t eat? Drink a supplement full of sugar!
Stevia’s expensive, but u don’t need much. It’s sweet as hell.
Unlike other sugar substitutes, Stevia doesn’t cause an insulin spike.
I don’t know so much if you can cook with it and have it come out tasting properly.
But only if there is fermentation
Based on this study every alcoholic in the world should have cancer
Your bodies cells dont eat sugar
Utter crap

Thankfully, the sugars in beer have already been eaten by the yeast and turned into CO2 and alcohol.
Let them worry about cancer. I’ll worry about getting drunk.
