Wink Sugar and cancer....

I didn't mean to mislead anyone. I am not saying sugar causes cancer. If that were true almost everyone would get cancer. Alot of different things or a combination of things can cause cancer, among them diet, enviroment, lifestyle, family history, genetic problems etc. etc. etc.
Flori gave us the best explanation about how glucose works in PET scans.
It is my understanding as a result of explanations from medical professionals is that rapidly dividing cells are somehow attracted to the glucose, which can speed up the metabolism of the rapidly dividing cells.
I choose not to add fuel to the fire by eating too many things that have sugar and/or glucose
