Studies Show that too Much Sugar can fuel Tumor Growth

We hear about the unhealthy diets our children intake daily. Schools are now removing soda pop from the vending machines, and replacing them with juices and water. Fortunately the schools are not there to be the parents. Some of us have grown up during the years where mom made food from scratch and the fast food and processed food were not an option. Kids were healthier, had more exercise, disease as we see it to day was not a prevalent as it is. There are Children by the time they are 6 years of age that are obese. Everyone I talk to state that their Health provider says they are over weight. By the way, look at the people who work at these facilities, they them selves have the same problem. Eating and running, not taking time out to eat healthy.



In a new Study of 60,000 people in Singapore, a research team at the University of Minnesota followed thousand of men and women participating in this study for 14 years. At the end of the study, published in a journal of Cancer Epidemiology, the team found that those who drank two or more soft drinks in a week had 87 % higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer.



Oddly enough, those who drank fruit juice, and some of them have just as much sugar as soda, did not have the same cancer risk.



Some of the study suggests that possibly the soda drinkers, also had other poor habits, such as smoking, eating a lot of red meat, a poor life style and alcohol consumption



Consider what the pancreas job is, and that is to make insulin, which helps the body digest sugar, which is made in the pancreas. Researchers believe that soda pop interferes with the body's insulin levels which can contribute to cancer cells growing in the pancreas. The onset of diabetes later in life can also be a early symptom.
