LIVING with cancer: sugar's effect on cancer


You are sweet enough! ⁣

By now you’ve heard time and again how bad sugar is for you. It’s been linked to obesity, heart disease, diabetes—and now also cancer. According to a study done at the @mdanderson, high amounts of sugar in today’s diets may increase the risk of breast cancer. The main culprit appeared to be fructose, as it exacerbated the inflammatory process. ⁣

Needing something sweet? Stick to natural sugar found in fruit and avoid sugar-sweetened beverages, tabletop sweeteners, candy, and desserts. Or, have a piece of dark chocolate (ideally 70% or higher). ⁣

Fun fact, A research study conducted at the University of California in San Francisco showed that chocolate that’s greater than 70 percent cacao can activate the body’s stem cells!!
