Cancer cells slurp up fructose, US study finds

Why it's actually a toxin (long, and reposted, but worth it):

How you digging that Coke machine?

Cancer cells feed on pretty much anything. I'd be more concerned with what actually CAUSES cancer.

Life causes cancer.

Actually it's more about hereditary genetic flaws, allowing cells to mutate in response to toxins...........But I digress.

Fine, but it's mostly filled with diet.

I'll probably die of some other fucking cancer.

I drink mostly coffee, personally.

Unfortunately it is from Reuters and therefore fake arab loving propaganda photoshopped to hurt freedom loving mericans err-ware so I am going to have to assume that the truth is that fructose cures cancer.

maybe

Aspartame has been linked to cancer also.

The good news is: Coffee can reduce the risk of colon cancer so you'll always be an asshole!

Yep, and saccharin (my sweet poison of choice) has been linked to bladder cancer.

The REALLY bad news? Pretty much, if it's sweet, it's deadly - no way around that.

That said, according to what I've read (and I've read a shit ton on this, because I HAVE a sweet tooth), the least deadly sweets are (in descending order or preference):

Stevia
Xylitol
Dextrose
...and bringing up the rear, with just a hint of bladder cancer, Saccharin.

If I could get Dextrose or Xylitol in the supermarket, I'd probably be getting those more often. Stevia isn't terribly sweet, and it's a bit fucking slimy.

This is a no-win if you like anything sweet. If it's sweet, it's probably poison.
