Biologists have found sugar that kills cancer cells

Gum is a substitute for glucose that not only helps prevent fat gain, but also has anti-cancer properties that slow tumor growth and improve chemotherapy, according to an article in the journal Nature.
Ryan, an expert at the University of Glasgow in Scotland, said: "Cancer cells need a lot of glucose to grow, so we can use this to treat cancer.
problem is that healthy tissue also needs glucose.
found that cancer cells cannot 'digest' sugar, so it can be used to slow the growth of cancer cells, but does not affect normal cells.
characteristic of cancer cells is the uncontrolled growth and reproduction of abnormally large amounts of nutrients and oxygen.
recent years, experts have been studying how cancer cells do this and using the data to develop drugs that "kill" cancer cells or stop them from spreading.
, cancer cells do not respond to the appearance of new nutrients and continue to divide and digest oxygen and nutrients.
when experts began experimenting with sugar, the chemical composition of sugar was similar to glucose, but the three-dimensional structure was different.
past, glycerides were used primarily as thickeners and dietary supplements for people with rare metabolic diseases.
recently, experts have found some interesting and unusual properties, including delaying the development of obesity and related inflammations, which make the body think it is chronically calorie-deficing.
and his colleagues found that a similar situation occurred in cancer cells.
when sugar appears in the nutritional environment, cancer cells grow three times faster, and anti-cancer drugs begin to work, killing 30-50% of cancer cells instead of 10-15%.
to a sugary diet forced cancer cells to stop synthesized into a special "life protein" Bcl-1 molecule.
Bcl-1 molecule blocks the work of genes responsible for self-destruction of DNA-damaged cells, promoting cancer cell reproduction.
that glycosaccharies not only have this effect on bone tissue tumors, but also on other cancers, such as all types of tumors that grow in the large intestine and rectum.
, combined chemotherapy can reduce the dose of toxic drugs, while taking pure sugar can help slow tumor growth.
experts stressed that they should not go to pharmacies for dietary supplements containing glycerides for the time being, as it is not clear whether the treatment is safe and can be used in humans.
to answer this question, to conduct a lot of clinical trials, and that will take years.
