Cancer cells feed on fructose, study finds - Health - Cancer - msnbc.com

Looks like researching is now showing that fructose that comes from corn is directly shown to feed cancer.

Without sounding facetious, what doesn't cause or feed cancer these days? It's a horrible disease and all I can hope for is one day, it is removed from our vocabulary!

To put it bluntly, I don't pay attention to ANY of the so called studies. While very rare, where real science has been applied, using a very large base and many years of good data recording, I might give it a glance.

So much of what we hear about is simply bad science. If you jumped every time the came up with something, we would all starve to death. It's hard to find a food that 'they' haven't said at one time or the other would kill you.

I even have to hear about it one the dog forum! Feed raw, don't use food with corn, filler is bad and the list goes on.

It's amazing the human race has survived so long, with out all of those people getting big grants to tell us what not to eat. If they would put those resources to cure cancer, I think everyone would be better off.

It's of somewhat interest to me because sweetener derived from corn has become very popular only in the last 30 years or so. We continue to see an increase in cancer so if our food sources are a direct factor in the prevalence of cancer then it seems logical society would want to change their habits.
