Fructose intake and tumors:what can we learn from them?
Fructose,a common monosaccharide,is predominantly utilized in the form of high fructose corn syrup.The increasing prevalence of chronic metabolic disorders such as obesity,diabetes,and hyperlipidemia has been linked to the widespread consumption of high fructose corn syrup.Moreover,this dietary trend has been recognized to create a conducive metabolic milieu for tumor growth.While direct evidence establishing a causal relationship between fructose intake and tumorigenesis in humans remains sparse,a growing body of epidemiological and experimental research has identified a strong association between high fructose consumption and the initiation and progression of tumors.This study aims to enhance our comprehension of the metabolic pathways and properties of fructose in tumor cells,to elucidate experimental proof of the connection between fructose and tumor development,and to offer scientifically-backed dietary recommendations for both healthy individuals and cancer patients.By doing so,this investigation aims to serve as a valuable resource for the prevention and treatment of tumors.
