This Common Sweetener Feeds Pancreatic Cancer Cells
A recent study published by researchers at UCLA concluded that high-fructose sweeteners feed pancreatic cancer cells. Pancreatic cancer is a lethal form of cancer, usually considered to be incurable. The study compared the effects of both common sugar and fructose upon pancreatic cancer cells. The conclusion was that common sugar enables pancreatic cancer cells to thrive, but, fructose actually enables the cells to proliferate.If you take a drive across the Midwest this time of year, you cannot help but be impressed by the hundreds of thousands of acres of corn that are being harvested. I have noticed that many times, people think all that of corn is of the sweet corn variety we serve in our meals every day. It is not. Rather, it is field corn, used as feed for livestock and processed into other products such as corn meal, corn oil and high-fructose corn sweetener. It is the frutose sweetener that is the subject of the UCLA study. It is in many, many foods as a food additive. Most common is all kinds of soda. It is also included in packaged foods because it resists spoilage.
Of course, the corn sweetener industry will enthusiastically take issue with the UCLA study. Beyond the cancer threat, even if the study is proven to be wrong, we know one thing for sure. Fructose sweetener makes you fat. But wait, don't rush to switch to diet soda. There are problems with that too, discussed elsewhere in this newsletter.
