Want Cancer? Eat Plenty of Refined Sugar, Say Researchers

Today, most of us are aware that refined sugar is bad news for health, and several scientific studies have dramatically driven that point home, showing sugar is one of the most dangerous substances we can consume — especially where cancer is concerned.

Incredibly, Americans currently consume an astounding 130 pounds of refined sugar a year — or 3,500 pounds in a lifetime — compared to under five pounds/year in the 1820s. Most of this gigantic increase in sugar consumption is due to the processed food industry, where sugar is hidden in everything from ketchup to bread and prepared meals. Don’t forget about the fast food industry that intentionally “designs” food to be highly addictive through the use of high-flavor additives like sugar, salt and fat. In fact, research has shown that refined sugar alone is more addictive than cocaine.

It’s no wonder wonder cancer rates are through the roof. And now science has established why sugar plays such a significant role in our cancer epidemic.

A Collective Hunger for Sugar

As a high school student decades ago, I vividly remember the soda and snack dispensing machines peppered throughout our campus. For about $1.50, a ‘lunch’ of soda and a candy bar was yours for the taking. I wouldn’t think twice about such a meal. After all, it was cheap and tasted good. Thankfully, with age, I wised-up and realized processed food was nothing but the devil in disguise, where my health and waistline are concerned.

However, as bleak as my junk food junkie high school days were in the 80s, the situation has become worse over the years in the US, largely because people are eating at home less and grabbing food on the fly more — or seeking out fast and easy convenience meals when they do stay in. With two-income households replacing the stay-at-home moms of the past, and the general trend of fast-paced lifestyles, who can blame them? Not to mention, home cooking has become passé and uncool. It’s all about speed now, and high flavor. Because of this, the processed food industry is rolling in the dough. But at what cost to our collective health? According to current research, we pay a very high price indeed.
