Study finds dietary fructose, especially from high-fructose corn syrup, fuels tumor growth in cancer studies.

Recent research from Washington University shows that dietary fructose, especially from high-fructose corn syrup, promotes tumor growth in animal studies of melanoma, breast cancer, and cervical cancer. The liver converts fructose into nutrients that fuel cancer cell growth. The study, published in Nature, suggests that reducing fructose intake might help in fighting cancer, though more research is needed.
