Since I am diabetic, I have been concerned about the correlation between diabetes and cancer. My doctors told me that no research so far has shown that there is any relationship between these two illnesses. It is true that if one is diabetic, his immune system is somehow affected and may be more vulnerable to other diseases. But it doesn't mean that a diabetic patient has a higher chance of developing cancer. Of course it is sensible for everyone to keep the blood sugar level normal. I don't believe that the more sugar you take, the more cancer cells you feed.I would rather say the more sugar you take by mouth, the faster your teeth will get damaged.Besides, sugar doesn't give our body much nutrition.
