How does the cancer know the difference between processed and unprocessed sugar?

I'm guessing it doesn't. The headline is certainly BS - the article does not support it in any way. Processed sugar (primarily HFCS) may be worse for us than regular sugar (the jury seems to be out on that), but I can personally confirm that poor writing is an out-of-control epidemic.

Processed sugar is pure and causes high sugar spikes. It is almost immediately absorbed once you eat it.

Sugar in its natural form is typically surrounded by water and fiber (like fruits or sugar cane). This slows absorption and consumption which reduces sugar spikes.

You body can’t tell the difference once absorbed. The difference is how much gets absorbed and how fast.

There is no difference of course, Glucose is glucose.

I used to date a brainless tumor and she knew everything.

The author of the article is a moron. The study is about sugar processed by the body, not commercially processed (refined) sugar. Without glucose, you’ll die pretty quick.
