Cancer, it’s a word no one wants to hear, yet according to the National Cancer Institute it’s a diagnosis that 1 in every 2 of us will be faced with. And in 2009 it was estimated that 1,479,350 people were diagnosed with cancer and 562,340 died of the disease. These statistics make the search for cure and mechanisms for prevention hot topics...here’s a little FYI on cancer cells, like all cells, they require glucose (sugar) to grow. But unlike other cells, they consume 4 to 5 times more glucose/energy.
