Lani,

I do appreciate your postings and made an effort to understand the important implication of the Harvard research work. However, even with my meager pharmacist training and educational background, I frankly have difficulty in grasp the whole picture. From the view of an average population of this group, I tried to write you for easy and simple clarification.

The title of the article is very clear. Sweet tooth route is now found to be a clue for cancer amplication, leading death to many mice in that group. As we go into the article further, I got lost in the development of confirmation of the hypothesis. Thats where I ask for a simple clarification.

It is the very point that I believe this article is very significant and should be read with care that I made my request so that others less exposed to medical terms can see its importance. Hopefully, we all can immediately benefit from the conclusion, admittedly not well established conclusion.

If staying away from sugar will benefit all of us, why wait for several years before its confirmation? That step is not a difficult and harmful one anyway.

I do see the merit of your argument and the complexity of the disease, but if a simple advice can be added now, why not?
