Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
If you want to believe the most recent food-causing-cancer study, you'll have to cross another thing off the list of foods that we aren't supposed to eat. A Swedish study has just linked sugar consumption to an increased risk of pancreatic cancer. The study followed almost 80,000 people aged 45-83 for about 7 years and noted that those who added five or more servings of sugar to their food were "69 percent more likely to develop pancreatic cancer than those who never added sugar to their food or drink." Drinking multiple soft drinks and eating sweetened or stewed fruit increased the risk, too.
But like the study that linked bread to cancer, this is far from conclusive. The study found no evidence of increased risk from eating "sweets, marmalade, or jams," all of which are typically high in sugar. And other studies have linked diabetes and obesity to an increased risk on pancreatic cancer, both of which are not necessarily only linked to the consumption of sugary drinks. There was no mention of what the difference might be between the quality of sugar found in stewed fruit versus that found in jam.

This type of cancer is truly horrible as you have no chance whatsoever of surviing it. The pain and agony that one goes through is numbing to watch. Pancreatic cancer has also been linked to smoked meat (high fat content) and large amounts of protein in diets. I wouldn't laugh at this if I were you. My friend who passed away had a diet high in sugar AND protein. It's not funny, sorry to be a party-pooper.
