High Fructose Death Syrup Linked to Pancreatic Cancer


High Fructose Death Syrup Linked to Pancreatic Cancer

High fructose corn syrup should be banned from the food supply. The latest evidence comes from a large study of 60, 524 participants over a 14 year period. Those who consumed on average 5 high fructose corn syrup sweetened sodas per week had nearly double the risk for developing deadly pancreatic cancer.

"The high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing the level of insulin in the body, which we think contributes to pancreatic cancer cell growth," said Mark Pereira, Ph.D., senior author on the study and associate professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota.
