How Cancer Cells Break Free from Tumors: Study Identifies Adhesion Molecules Key to Cancer’s Spread Through the Body
Perhaps it is finally time to rethink selling sugary snacks in order to "fight cancer". :idea: Juicing gurus might also want to rethink promoting massive amounts of fruit juice as a "cancer cure".
Also of note, the article of course suggests developing drugs that interfere with the sugar-binding proteins as a potential cancer treatment. Fair enough. But they didn't suggest the obvious- why not control blood sugar levels by limiting consumption of dietary sugar? And yes, that would include fruit sugar.
Quote:One pair of extracellular matrix molecules that metastatic tumors stuck to especially well was fibronectin and galectin-3, both made of proteins that contain or bind to sugars.
