I’ve been writing for years that sugar helps to fuel cancers. It’s just one of the many reasons that I tell you to steer clear of processed sugars.
But according to new research done at the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah, sugar (glucose) cannot fuel cancer cells by itself. The amino acid glutamine plays a critical role in the process.
According to study author Don Ayer, Ph.D., "Essentially, if you don’t have glutamine, the cell is short circuited due to a lack of glucose, which halts the growth of the tumor cell."
Of course, the researchers are saying that this information is paving the way for the development of new drugs that could interfere with the process and inhibit tumor growth.
I say the idea is absurd. Why take a drug to manipulate the process when you can do it naturally by cutting sugar out of your diet?
Your best bet is always to keep your sugar intake at a minimum. It may be tasty, but its impact is anything but sweet.
Keeping it short and sweet,
