The study shows how sugar drives tumor growth, possibly explaining a surge in early colon cancer diagnoses in young adults.
Sugary drinks may feed colon cancer tumors, according to a study published Thursday in the journal"Science."
"Polyps love to eat fructose and glucose and they use it to grow. They're just like humans," said Dr. Lewis Cantley, one of the lead authors of the study and director of the Meyer Cancer Center at Weill Cornell Medicine. When scientists compared the size of the tumors in both groups, they found the ones that were fed high-fructose corn syrup had larger tumors than the ones who did not.
