sugar makes cancer tumours aggressive

Scientists have found that sugar 'rs more 'awakens' cancer cells and makes tumours more aggressive, according to  a nine-year long research that is being hailed as a crucial breakthrough in cancer research
 The project's focus was the Warburg effect, or the observation that tumours convert significantly higher amounts of sugar into lactate compared to healthy tissues .As one of the most prominent features of cancer cells, this phenomenon has       been extensively studied and even used to detect brain tumours,                                                            among other applications.
   The discovery provides evidence for a positive correlation between sugar                                               and cancer,which may have far-reaching impacts on tailor -made diets for                                             cancer patients.
