A research project conducted in Belgium has found that sugar awakens cancer cells and make tumors more aggressive.
The project’s focus was the Warburg effect or the observation that tumors convert significantly higher amount of sugar into lactate compared to healthy tissues.
The research revealed how the hyper active sugar consumption of cancerous cells leads to a vicious cycle of continued stimulation of cancer development and growth.
The link established between sugar and cancer has sweeping consequences. It provides evidence for the positive correlation between the two which may have far reaching impacts on tailor made diets for cancer patients.
