The renowned scientific journal Nature has published the results of one of its latest studies.
Its authors managed to link fructose with accelerated proliferation of malignant cells. Thus, scientists came to the conclusion that this sugar accelerates cancer progression.
Why has fructose been considered a healthy alternative to regular sugar until now?
Biologist, professor at the School of Systems Biology at George Mason University (USA) and medical blogger Ancha Baranova explained to aif.ru that earlier studies were conducted on cancer cell cultures, the growth of which fructose really did not affect and was therefore considered safe.
But when the study was conducted in an organism with a functioning liver, it was possible to discover its pronounced negative effect.
This sugar analogue is recommended for people suffering from diabetes. It is also actively consumed by those who strive to lead a healthy lifestyle, so you can find many products with this component in the store.
You'll find fructose products in both health food aisles and everyday items.
Glucose-fructose syrup is also found in carbonated and other drinks.
