Summary:
Scientists have found that some types of cancers have more of a sweet tooth than others.

An upcoming study by Kim's group will examine the effect of a sugar-restricted diet on the progression of lung cancer in an animal model of the disease. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that in 2015, on average, each American consumed more than 75 pounds of refined sugar, high fructose corn syrup and other sweeteners combined.
"As a culture, we are very addicted to sugar," Kim said. "Excessive sugar consumption is not only a problem that can lead to complications like diabetes, but also, based on our studies and others, the evidence is mounting that some cancers are also highly dependent on sugar. We'd like to know from a scientific standpoint whether we might be able to affect cancer progression with dietary changes."

A low-carb diet could kick-start the immune system and fight cancer and diseases such as heart problems and arthritis, say scientists this week.

They key to the world's most common, and deadliest, diseases is the role of glucose, the sugar in our blood, and the way it interacts with our immune cells, says a research team from Trinity College Dublin.

Glucose, known as a 'simple sugar', is derived from carbohydrates, and it's vital for energy, and cell division and growth. Although some immune cells become dysfunctional if they're starved of glucose, that's not true for dendritic cells, which are the part of our immune system that monitors our body for signs of danger. When dendritic cells are starved of glucose, they stimulate the immune system's vital players, the T lymphocytes, which directly fight cancers and inflammatory diseases such as heart problems and arthritis.

This breakthrough discovery opens the way for new therapeutic approaches to these killer diseases, the researchers say.

"The discovery that T cells and dendritic cells compete with each other for glucose offers a new and exciting insight into how glucose can regulate dendritic cell function," said lead researcher David Finlay.

Heh, Hesariin oli näköjään lipsahtanuti uutinen tuolla ylempänä käsitellystä tutkimusprojektista (https://karppaus.info/forum/viewtopic.p ... 2#p2129112) ilman Fogelholmin sokeria puolustelevaa kommenttia:

kasaantuva tutkimustieto osoittaa, että jotkut syövät ovat hyvin riippuvaisia sokerista
