A photo from open sources New scientific studies have found that sugar not only provides energy to cancer cells, but also promotes their development A new revolutionary study by American scientists led by Jonathan Middleton – the only one to date, found that sugar is not only is a source of “fuel” for an existing cancer tumor, but it is also the primary engine of oncogenesis, that is, the mechanism acquiring previously healthy cancer phenotype cells. Report on This study was published in the medical journal Journal Clinical Investigation “called” Increased Sugar provokes EPAC / RAP1 and O-GlcNAc oncogenesis. “Authors engage in controversy with proponents of generally accepted circles Cancer researchers think (or fallacy): “increased the intensity of glycolysis (glucose oxidation) is often the result of the oncogenic process, the growth and survival of malignant cells. ”
Contrary to this common point of view, the authors of the new Studies claim that the activation of the glycolysis process itself itself is an element of the oncogenic process. In other words, acceleration of metabolic processes involving sugar, caused as increased glucose and increased corresponding receptors on the surface of the cell membrane – provokes malignant changes and occurrence in it cancer.
Moreover, the report says: “on the contrary, a decrease in revenue sugar to cancer cells in a patient with breast cancer led to reverse phenotype change “This means that a decrease cancer cell can return phenotype to sugar precancerous condition.

The practical significance of the research results for diet formation
The main conclusion of the study is the sugar that we use in terrifying quantities (an average of about 72 kg per year), is one of the main causes of cellular changes associated with the occurrence and the development of cancer. At the same time, the exclusion of sugar from daily diet and the cessation of its entry into cells can start the reverse process, that is, turn a cancer cell into normal.
According to various estimates, the amount of bread we consume averages about 91 kg. What does this have to do with sugar? The fact is that products containing refined carbohydrates, i.e. crackers, bread, spaghetti, cereal, represent “hidden” forms of sugar. In fact, puffed rice boosts sugar content in our blood (and supposedly increases it entering the cells) faster than white sugar. About it its glycemic index also indicates. Summing up the annual the consumption of sugar and flour products, we get breathtaking the figure is 163 kilograms of sugar (in the form of fructose and glucose) per year. This provides an ideal metabolic situation for the occurrence of cancer: aerobic glycolysis.
This is one of the reasons why the ketogenic diet, i.e. based on the intake of fats and proteins in the rejection of carbohydrates, both in simple (sugar) and complex (flour products) forms – recognized as useful for the most aggressive types of cancer, including brain cancer. Targeted malnourished cancer cells forced to choose between programmed death (apoptosis) and a return to the non-cancer phenotype.
If sugar is a white death, why do we eat it like that many?
One of the main causes of large amounts of sugar and carbohydrates in our diet is that they cause addiction. First minutes after their use in our neuroendocrine system The roller coaster begins. The fact is that our brain cannot long exist without glucose, the main source of energy for cells, and starts to “glitch” every time the flow of it “nutrient” is interrupted for only 2-3 minutes. FROM on the other hand, the endocrine system “feels” the danger of high sugar content, which manifests itself in glycation-related the destruction of proteins and lipid structures of cells. Blood is caramelized becomes viscous – in response, the endocrine system releases such hormones like insulin and cortisol to control sugar levels. Insulin “pushes” sugar into the storage inside the cell as glycogen and fat, but often he does his work too diligently, causing a decrease in sugar in the brain tissue. And this, in his the queue is accompanied by alarms requiring urgent highlighting increased doses of cortisol and adrenaline to increase levels sugar to acceptable. As a result, of course, after that another portion of insulin is released and the cycle starts in a new way circle.
This “vicious circle” is the cause of a constant, ongoing craving for “sweet,” that is, sugar / carbohydrates without saying about the property of fructose to irritate opioid and dopamine receptors the nervous system is similar to alcohol, and also about the effects of active peptides contained in many gluten-containing flour products on the formation of addictive behavior and almost psychotic desire to get carbohydrates at every meal.
No wonder the cancer epidemic has swept the western world. Of course, scientists do not claim that a sugar-carbohydrate diet is the only cause of cancer. There are a number of factors contributing to its emergence and development:
• exposure to harmful chemicals
• exposure to radiation
• chronic stress, suppressing the immune system
• vaccines containing hidden retroviruses and carcinogens viruses
• bacterial carcinogenic infections
• lack of sleep
• nutritional deficiencies (such methyl group donors like vitamins B12, folates, vitamins B6), which reduces the ability body to block genes that provoke cancer.
Although cancer is complex, multifactorial and almost uncontrollable phenomenon, in our power block one of the main ways of its occurrence – through the mouth. Those, who really wants to prevent or treat cancer should remember that refusing sugar is not enough: rich in carbohydrates the products are not sweet in taste, but all of them, bread, crackers, cereals, necessarily turn into sugar in our body after a few minutes after use.
Cancer cells prefer to ferment sugar to produce energy even when there is enough oxygen. This is the feature of cancer metabolism, called “aerobic glycolysis” or “Warburg effect”.
So, to prevent and treat cancer, you need to abandon sugar and excess carbohydrates. It is not only dictated by sound meaning, but now confirmed and experimental research.
