Introduction: Human cells have a magical ability - * It is this ability that makes us grow from a few cells in infancy to an adult with tens of trillions of cells, and cells are not only the basis for our growth and development, but also the key to maintaining the normal operation of organs and tissues.
However, this ** is not endless, after about ten **s**, normal cells will auto-apoptosis due to mitochondrial loss, which is a natural regulatory mechanism that ensures that our body does not have problems due to excessive cells**. However, there are always some cells that are not willing to be ordinary, they behave very differently from normal cells, and even threaten our lives, yes, they are cancer cells.
The fundamental difference between cancer cells and normal cells is that they proceed uncontrollably and indefinitely**, and once the cancer cells spread throughout the body, it can have a devastating impact on our health and lives.
Because of the huge threat of cancer, medical researchers have never stopped in-depth research on cancer cells, and they hope to find targeted prevention and means by understanding the characteristics of cancer cells.
Some studies have found that cancer cells consume a lot of nutrients in the process, of which glucose accounts for the largest proportion, which makes people think: Do cancer cells prefer sweets?
However, further research has revealed more truths, in addition to glucose, cancer cells also have a high demand for proteins, which gives us a deeper understanding of the complexity of cancer.
To effectively prevent cancer, we must understand the characteristics of cancer cells and adjust our lifestyle based on these characteristics.
So, today we're going to ask an important question: Does cancer prefer sugar or protein? Let's take this issue together and make an informed choice for our health. 
Why do people get cancer? This is a complex issue that involves a combination of factors.
Genetic factors
Some people are born with a predisposition to cancer due to genetic mutations or genetic defects. For example, mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes increase a woman's risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
Environmental factors
Long-term exposure to carcinogens or unhealthy lifestyle habits such as smoking, alcohol consumption, unhealthy eating habits, etc., may increase the risk of cancer.
For example, smoking is one of the leading causes of lung cancer, and excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun increases the risk of developing **cancer.
A weakened immune system
When the body is unable to effectively defend and remove abnormal cells, these cells have the potential to develop into tumors. For example, people with AIDS are more likely to develop certain types of cancer due to a compromised immune system.
Age factor
As we age, the function of various organs in the body gradually declines, and the ability of cells to repair and regenerate also decreases, which makes the elderly more susceptible to cancer.
In April 2021, the internationally renowned journal Nature released a compelling study in which researchers conducted in-depth in vitro and in vitro experiments on six different types of cancer, including breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and kidney cancer.
They carefully isolated the tumor cells from the mice, carefully divided them into small groups, and then sorted the cells.
Through sophisticated experiments and data analysis, the researchers discovered a surprising phenomenon: inside the tumor, immune cells consume more sugars than tumor cells.
Further research revealed that tumor cells seem to have a special preference for glutamine, an important amino acid that is one of the building blocks of proteins.
When glutamine is ingested, it inhibits the metabolic pathway of sugar, which means that sugar is used more by immune cells inside the tumour than by the tumor.
This discovery upends the previous understanding that immune cells, rather than tumor cells, are the main beneficiaries of sugar in the tumor microenvironment.
This study provides us with a new perspective on the relationship between cancer cells and sugar. Instead of being sugar-hungry as people previously thought, cancer cells are more inclined to consume protein.
This discovery provides a new idea and direction for future cancer, and is expected to bring better choices and survival hope for cancer patients.
This is a complex question that involves many factors and cannot be answered simply with a "yes" or "no".
First of all, cancer is a complex disease, and its occurrence and development are related to a variety of factors, including genetics, environment, lifestyle and dietary habits, so for the nutritional intake of cancer patients, it is necessary to comprehensively consider a variety of factors and formulate a personalized diet plan.
Secondly, protein is one of the essential nutrients for the human body, which is essential for the normal functioning of the body, and cancer patients often experience weakness and decreased immunity in the process, so more protein is needed to support the normal function of the body.
If you blindly restrict your protein intake, it can lead to malnutrition, weakness, and detriment to your patients.
However, it is important to note that some specific types of cancer may have special requirements for protein intake. For example, patients with cancers such as pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, etc., may need to limit their protein intake because a high-protein diet may negatively affect the patient's survival rate.
In addition, some cancer patients may experience digestive problems during the process, which affects the absorption and utilization of nutrients, so personalized assessment and guidance are required according to the specific situation of the patient.
Cancer cells don't like the term "sugar", which usually means that cancer cells are more dependent on glucose than normal cells because cancer cells grow and multiply very quickly and need a lot of energy to maintain their growth.
Glucose is the main energy source for cancer cells**, but this does not mean that cancer patients cannot eat sweets, or can only eat sugar-free foods.
First of all, we need to clarify what "sugar" is, in nutrition, "sugar" is a broad term that includes different types such as monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, etc.
When we talk about "sugar", we usually refer to monosaccharides and disaccharides, that is, common white sugar, brown sugar, rock sugar, etc., which will be broken down into glucose after entering the human body, and then absorbed and utilized.
However, in addition to these sugars, which have a distinct sweet taste, glucose is also found in many foods, such as staple foods such as rice and bread, and the glucose in these foods does not have an additional stimulating effect on cancer cells because the glucose content in them is not higher than that of sugars with obvious sweetness, such as white sugar.
In addition, the human body also needs other types of nutrients to maintain normal physiological functions, such as proteins, fats, vitamins, etc., which are also essential.
If cancer friends give up sweets and sugary foods in order to limit glucose intake, it may lead to malnutrition and affect the body's **.
Therefore, for cancer patients, it is necessary to limit sugar intake, but it does not mean to completely give up sweets and sugary foods, the key is to maintain a balanced and moderate amount of nutrition.
If you are concerned that too much glucose will have a stimulating effect on cancer cells, you can choose low-sugar or sugar-free alternatives, or control your glucose intake with a reasonable diet.
For normal people, insufficient protein can also cause harm to the body, protein is a basic building block of the body's cells, tissues and organs, which is essential for maintaining good health and normal physiological functions, and if protein intake is insufficient, it can cause a variety of adverse effects on the body.
First of all, protein deficiency can affect the function of the immune system, making the body more susceptible to diseases and infections, protein is an important component that makes up immune cells and immune molecules, if there is a lack of protein, the function of the immune system will decrease, resulting in a decrease in resistance.
Secondly, insufficient protein can also affect the growth and repair of muscles, leading to muscle weakness, atrophy and damage, protein is an important component of muscles, if there is a lack of protein, muscles cannot get adequate nutrition, can not grow and repair normally, thus triggering muscle problems and decreased exercise capacity.
In addition, insufficient protein may also affect the body's metabolic rate and cardiovascular health, protein is one of the essential nutrients for the body's metabolism, and if not consumed enough, it may lead to weight gain and obesity. At the same time, protein is also an important component of blood vessel cells, and if protein is deficient, it may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Make sure you're getting enough protein
Determine the amount of protein required per day based on factors such as an individual's age, gender, weight, height, activity level, etc.
In general, adults need to consume about 08 grams of protein, for example, if you weigh 50 kilograms, then you need to consume 40 grams of protein per day.
Choose high-quality protein**
High-quality protein** includes fish, poultry, lean meats, legumes, eggs, and dairy products, which are rich in essential amino acids and are important for the body to synthesize protein**.
Mix your food wisely
By combining food properly, you can improve the absorption and utilization of protein. For example, eating animal and plant foods together can take advantage of the complementary effects of different foods and improve protein utilization.
Spread your protein intake
Spreading your protein intake across three meals a day, rather than concentrating on one meal, can better meet your body's protein needs while avoiding excessive intake.
High-sugar foods
Excessive intake of high-sugar foods may lead to weight gain, and long-term high-sugar diets may also affect the body's metabolism and hormone levels, which can increase the risk of cancer.
Processed meats
Processed meats such as sausages and bacon contain high levels of salt and additives, and long-term intake may increase the risk of cancer.
High-salt foods
A diet high in salt may lead to diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and may also increase the risk of cancer.
High-fat foods
High-fat foods may lead to obesity, high blood lipids, and may also increase the risk of cancer.
Moldy food
Moldy food contains harmful substances such as aflatoxin, which have a strong carcinogenic effect, so once the food is found to be moldy, it should be discarded immediately to avoid ingestion of these harmful substances.
If it reaches an advanced stage, the survival time of the patient will be greatly affected, and how long can he live depends on many factors, such as the type of cancer, the severity of the disease, the patient's physical condition and the ** plan, etc., generally speaking, the survival time of advanced cancer patients is relatively short, may only be a few months or about a year.
However, with the continuous advancement of medical technology, there are now new ways to prolong the survival of patients with advanced cancer.
For example, new methods such as immunization and targeting can control the progression of the disease to a certain extent, reduce the pain of patients, and improve the quality of life.
At the same time, a good mindset and positive cooperation** are also very important to help patients better cope with the condition.
