Sugar causes cancer.
Myth! It’s true that cancer cells tend to get their fuel from sugar,
but that doesn’t mean that eating less sugar will prevent or slow down
cancer. The body makes its own glucose when you eat less sugar, which
could negate any cancer-fighting benefit. That said, obesity is a risk factor
for certain cancers, so keeping your hands out of the cookie jar can still
have an indirect anticancer effect.
