Sugar Consumption and Cancer Risk
The myth that sugar causes cancer stems from the observation that glucose promotes cancer growth processes. However, this is not entirely true as glucose is an input, not the sole cause of cancer. Cancer cells can utilize various metabolic pathways beyond glucose to fuel their growth. Even in low carb situations, cancer cells can produce glucose through gluconeogenesis, showcasing the complexity of metabolic adaptations in cancer cells.
