  There is evidence of a sugar link on almost every cancer study - but nobody wants to call this out because of the terribly obvious implications for the modern diet. The fact is, your doctors have been telling you that low-fat diets cause disease, pushing people to eat high sugar low-fat foods, thereby killing them. Here's just a few references I found in about 30 minutes. I don't keep track as I probably should, but the link is painfully obvious. - [ ] http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6813992/ns/health-diabetes/t/study-links-diabetes-cancer-risk/ http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6813992/ns/health-diabetes/t/stu... <http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6813992/ns/health-diabetes/t/study-links-diabetes-cancer-risk/&#62 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6813992/ns/health-diabetes/t/stu...; - [ ] the researchers think high blood sugar levels — another hallmark of diabetes — might also be involved. - [ ] "The highest risks for developing cancer and dying from it were found in people with the highest blood sugar levels" - [ ] insulin may influence cell growth - [ ] http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-05-30/health/29379588_1_prostate-cancer-cancer-risk-endometrial-cancers http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-05-30/healt... <http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-05-30/health/29379588_1_prostate-cancer-cancer-risk-endometrial-cancers&#62 http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-05-30/healt...; - [ ] "Our results provide further evidence that abnormal insulin and glucose signaling may contribute to cancer initiation and development," said Gabriel Lai, a cancer prevention fellow at the US National Cancer Institute. - [ ] http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/30/3/561.full http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/30/3/561.full <http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/30/3/561.full&#62 http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/30/3/561.full> - [ ] The association of hyperglycemia with total cancer risk in women and in women and men combined for several cancer sites, independently of obesity, provides further evidence for an association between abnormal glucose metabolism and cancer. Type 2 diabetes, an extreme state of glucose intolerance, is associated with elevated plasma levels of glucose and insulin, both before and after its diagnosis, and is associated with an increased risk of cancers of the liver, pancreas, colon, endometrium, kidney, and breast (1,2). Less is known, however, about the effect on cancer risk of moderately elevated glucose levels among nondiabetic subjects.
