Mindsip insights from this episode:

Investigate SORD gene expression in cancerous tumors

Cancerous tumors have significantly higher expression of the SORD gene compared to normal, non-cancerous tissue.

Eliminate SORD to halt cancer metastasis

In animal studies, when the SORD enzyme was genetically removed from mice with cancer, metastasis (the spread of cancer) was massively diminished.

Understand soda's role in cancer spread through SORD enzyme

An enzyme called SORD is the newly discovered linchpin that explains how the combination of glucose and fructose in soda makes cancer spread more aggressively.

Inhibit SORD enzyme to disrupt fructose-fueled cancer growth

The SORD enzyme converts fructose to sorbitol, a process that increases NAD levels within the cell, which in turn activates the pro-invasion behavior of cancer cells.

Link sugar-sweetened beverages to increased cancer risk

Beyond animal models, several human studies also link sugar-sweetened beverages to higher cancer rates, even after controlling for diet quality and body weight.

Limit fructose and glucose to reduce colorectal cancer aggression

The combination of fructose plus glucose, common in soda, makes colorectal cancer cells significantly more aggressive and invasive compared to glucose alone.

Avoid soda and sugary drinks if diagnosed with colorectal cancer

A justified conclusion from the research is to avoid soda and other sugary drinks if you currently suffer from colorectal cancer.
