I discovered this article during my cancer research. It says there is a link between sugar eating and cancer or tumor growth. I wonder what it means for people like me who eat cakes, meat pies and sodas a lot. What do you think? I believe this research is a new finding.
Molecular biologists in Belgium have discovered how sugary diets may stimulate the growth of cancerous tumors.

The funny thing about this to me (yes, I saw it too) is that we have known for years that sugar is an issue when it comes to cancer. Yet, you will see soda and candy being given to cancer patients while they are having treatments.

If candy and soda are being given to cancer patients that means the doctors have not thought sugars like this can cause it. Maybe this research will be an eye opener.

I saw another research which gave no credence to what is stated in that link. However too much of anything - including sugar and fatty,greasy foods can't be good for our health. Moderation is key.

Moderation is key. I have always told myself that.

Everything in moderation is good for us.
