Sugar can be an important element in cancer development. Its avoidance can help to paralyze the spread of cancer to a great extent.
It was found that cancer cells contain similar plain sugar on its surface responsible for making a long molecule- ‘polysialic acid’ and with its increasing amount on cancer cells the spread of cancer cells tends to be more easier. After going through the fact, scientists are trying to develop a new drug.
Further research is to be done to find new molecules helpful in blocking the increased polysialic acid production cancer cells before they reach actual tumor place.
Until the research gets success, cancer patients require to avoid sugar-rich diet, instead they can also use sugar-free products.
