Rule #2
The next recommendation from the World Cancer Research Fund is to avoid soft drink.
The Facts
A small can of Coke, Pepsi or pop can has the equivalent of 9 tsp of sugar. We have about 6L of blood in our body. In all that blood we need only about a teaspoon of sugar in healthy people. So make the maths, you get in 5 minutes, 9 times the amount your blood stream can take. And the worst part is your more thirsty after that than before you drank the soft drink because it actually steals the water from you. Furthermore, all this sugar sends a message to your brain and brain tells you to turn it into fat. So diet soft drinks even if they do not have actual sugar send the same message and your body will turn sugar into fat with other food sources never the less.
Prostate cancer likes sugar
First you feed prostate cancer cells and second you promote the accumulation of fat which will produce cytokine hormone and produce a general state of inflammation. A cancer research study from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden showed that inflammation is responsible of the gene expression aggressiveness in prostate cancer.
Bottom line
Drink something else like water, green tea, coffee, 100% fruit juice etc. If you drink sporadically like 1 can a month or so, there is no harm done. Beware however; these little monsters can be quite addictive with all these ads around them. But if you drink 1 can everyday for your lunch break, you are asking for trouble.
