Sugar Boosts Cancer Risk

Eating too much sugar can boost your risk of pancreatic cancer, one of the most deadly cancers, say Swedish researchers. They found that men and women who ate the most sugar (added to foods such as coffee, tea and cereal) were 69% more likely to develop pancreatic cancer than those who ate the least amount of sugar. Even worse: Drinking more than two soft drinks a day, the main source of sugar for Americans, nearly doubled the odds of getting pancreatic cancer.

Researchers explain that sugar is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, driving up glucose and insulin levels. Excess glucose can actually poison and kill pancreatic cells, increasing cancer risk. Too much insulin results in insulin-like growth factor, which is thought to promote cell proliferation and cancer.
