Another reason to fear fructose
 
Cancer cells slurp up fructose, US study finds

Why it's actually a toxin (long, and reposted, but worth it):

How you digging that Coke machine?

Cancer cells feed on pretty much anything. I'd be more concerned with what actually CAUSES cancer. :shrug:

Actually it's more about hereditary genetic flaws, allowing cells to mutate in response to toxins...........But I digress.

Fine, but it's mostly filled with diet.

I'll probably die of some other fucking cancer.

I drink mostly coffee, personally.

Unfortunately it is from Reuters and therefore fake arab loving propaganda photoshopped to hurt freedom loving mericans err-ware so I am going to have to assume that the truth is that fructose cures cancer.

maybe

Aspartame has been linked to cancer also.

The good news is: Coffee can reduce the risk of colon cancer so you'll always be an asshole! :nee:

Yep, and saccharin (my sweet poison of choice) has been linked to bladder cancer.

The REALLY bad news? Pretty much, if it's sweet, it's deadly - no way around that.

That said, according to what I've read (and I've read a shit ton on this, because I HAVE a sweet tooth), the least deadly sweets are (in descending order or preference):

Stevia
Xylitol
Dextrose
...and bringing up the rear, with just a hint of bladder cancer, Saccharin.

If I could get Dextrose or Xylitol in the supermarket, I'd probably be getting those more often. Stevia isn't terribly sweet, and it's a bit fucking slimy.

This is a no-win if you like anything sweet. If it's sweet, it's probably poison.
