Cancer cells slurp up fructose, US study finds

Study shows fructose used differently from glucose

* Findings challenge common wisdom about sugars

WASHINGTON Aug 2 (Reuters) - Pancreatic tumor cells use fructose to divide and proliferate, U.S. researchers said on Monday in a study that challenges the common wisdom that all sugars are the same.

Tumor cells fed both glucose and fructose used the two sugars in two different ways, the team at the University of California Los Angeles found.

They said their finding, published in the journal Cancer Research, may help explain other studies that have linked fructose intake with pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest cancer types.

I very rarely touch soda now mainly because of HFCS. I mostly do the Japanese Cold Green tea by Itoen which has no sugar of any kind. I drank a lot of it when I was in Japan. Unfortunately, it is just about in everything now and usually like doing Organ food.

The stuff should be banned !
