Glucose Can Be Cancer Detection
Fizzy drinks, chocolate, and sugar-laden food turns out to be used to detect cancer, according to research findings published in the journal Nature Medicine.
Scientists have developed a technique that identifies disease by tracking how sugar is absorbed by the body. Malignant tumors consume more glucose — a simple sugar-than healthy body tissues in order to accelerate the growth of the country.
By using Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanner (MRI) to look for the absorption of glucose, researchers at University College, London, United Kingdom, discovered the tumor will be shining brightly after sufferers consume something sweet.
Senior author Professor Mark Lythgoe who is also Director of the UCL Centre for Advanced Biomedical Imaging (CABI), said, "I really don't believe an MRI is likely to take the movement of glucose, even that has lasted 18 months ago. But our research proves it can be done. "
He asserted that it can be done after consuming sugary drinks, like cola or fruit juice, or food. "We can detect cancer using the same sugar content in a standard-sized chocolate half," he said. (Dailymail/HH)
