Sugar and Cancer???
It is now
believed that sugar may help to detect cancer as the studied conducted by Lund
University in Sweden. It is also said by Linda Knutsson (senior lecturer at the
university) that if sugar replaces metal as a contrast agent in the body, it
can help to make patients calm and positive. It is found that by researchers
that the more sugar the tumour consumes, the more malignant it is.
Intake of sugar doesn’t necessarily lead to cancer. It
is just result in weight gain when eating too much sugar. So being obese can
lead to high risk of diseases like diabetes and cancer. It doesn’t mean you
shouldn’t take sugar since sugar keeps your vital organs to function. Nevertheless
the right amount of sugar intake per day is up to 25 grams or 6 teaspoons for
women and 37 grams or up to 9 teaspoons for men. Besides natural sugar, there
are hidden sugars found in pasta sauce, salad dressings and canned vegetables
where sugar is mentioned with another names like glucose, lactose, fructose and
dextrose. I would say to avoid artificial sweeteners. When about cancer, sugar
doesn’t make to grow it faster. Instead cancer cells also depend on glucose for
immunity. But much use of sugar amount may increase the risk factors of certain
cancers such as esophageal cancer.
