Is this Fructose Scare Scientifically Justified? 20-08-2010 This headline appeared in the Indian media on August 4: “Fructose-rich Western diets fuel growth of pancreatic cancers.” The story can be found at http://www.dnaindia.com/health/report_fructose-rich-western-diets-fuel-growth-of-pancreatic-cancers_1418765 and similar stories appeared elsewhere in Asia. This story relates to a particularly dreadful and deadly form of cancer so it is important to understand if the story provides useful insights or not into dietary precautions. The original research was published in the journal Cancer Research and the abstract can be found at http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/70/15/6368.abstract?sid=00255663-7c82-4414-a77b-0b1bfa7711e9.
