Sugary drinks may speed colorectal cancer spread to the liver by activating a key enzyme, a new study finds.
A University of Texas study finds that the glucose-fructose mix in sugary drinks may accelerate advanced colorectal cancer spread, especially to the liver, in lab models.
The combination, common in sodas and fruit juices, activates an enzyme linked to increased cancer cell mobility and cholesterol pathways, promoting metastasis.
Blocking this enzyme reduced spread even with sugar present, suggesting a potential treatment target.
The findings, published in Nature Metabolism, indicate sugary drinks may worsen cancer progression independently of obesity, prompting calls to reconsider dietary guidelines for patients.
While human trials are needed, the results highlight the importance of limiting sugary drink intake as part of cancer prevention and management.
