• A high dietary intake of sugar in the diet of traditionalWestern can increase the risk of developing cancer ofBreast and spread to the lungs, a new study warns. We found that rats eating sucrose levels similar to the Western diet resulted in an increase in tumor growth and metastasis,
•  'said Yang Peiying, senior lecturer at the University of Texas researchers MD Anderson Cancer Center in us. Compared with food starch sugar he said that the effect of sugar in the diet increases the expression of the enzyme and the fatty material may partly explain why the Western diet is bad for breast cancer due partly overexpression of 12-LOX and fatty acids associated with research so-called 12 -NO 'showed that the sugar Yang said.Previous food intake affects breast cancerdevelopment inflammation is believed to play role.The this study to examine the effect of sugar in the diet on the development of mammary tumors in several mouse models, in addition to the mechanisms that may be involved, 'co-author Lorenzo Cohen, a professor at the University of Texas decided at MD Anderson Cancer centre.We was particularly fructose, not table sugar and corn syrup, fructose, high throughout our food system, which is responsible for the promotion of a malignant tumor in the lung and 12-HETE (fatty acid) production in mammary tumors, 'said Cohen. The research team has conducted several studies that were randomized to different groups of rats a diet. At the age of six months, 30 percent of the mice with tumors of the control diet was measured starch, while 50-58 percent of the mice a diet rich in sucrose developed breast tumours.The study also showed that the number of lung metastases was significantly higher in mice sucrose - or followed a diet rich in fructose, as compared to mice with diet to control starch.
