> "We were surprised that fructose was barely metabolized in the tumor types we tested... We quickly learned that the tumor cells alone don’t tell the whole story... one way in which high levels of fructose consumption promote tumor growth is by increasing the availability of circulating lipids in the blood. These lipids are building blocks for the cell membrane, and cancer cells need them to grow... Over the past few years, it’s become clear that many cancer cells prefer to take up lipids rather than make them A bit of a red herring, but still interesting.
