I had two specialists tell me "Cancer is hungry for sugar." One was the person administering the PET scan... sugar is how it works. They put a radioactive isotope in glucose, inject it into your veins, and within 45 minutes the cancer has gobbled it all up, isolating the radioactive isotope into the cancerous areas. My radiation technician at the clinic said the same thing. I would say that if you don't need the sugar, try to wean yourself off of it.
