Beware of Fructose !

Scientists at UCLA have now found that cancer cells use fructose to grow faster. Researchers say that when pancreatic cancer cells are "fed" with fructose, they grow faster. These sugars are found in everyday beverages and even fruits ! One big sugar is HFCS, or better known as high fructose corn syrup . The cells of the cancer spread quicker when there is more HFCS in the body. Researchers also say that there should be less HFCS in the average american diet.

If Americans would cut down on the sugary foods and beverages they take in then they could also be lowering their chances of getting cancer. Since HFCS is 55% fructose and 45% glucose it is very easy for cell to multiply and grow. T o the body not only is HFCS bad but the chances of the cancer occurring because of that makes it related to biology.

Everyday people should know about this because even today cancer is one of our biggest problems in America. If people knew that they can prevent it than, it would be great !Scientist would be able to stop teh spreading of the disease , which would make early detection easier. Not only would cancer patients be happy but a new diet that is corn syrup free wouldnt hurt anyone !
