Love to eat a sugar rich diet? Beware it may fuel various forms of cancer by giving them the much needed energy to multiply researchers say. The researchers found that one type of cancer called as squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) -- found in lung head and neck esophageal and cervical -- is heavily dependent on sugar. It has been suspected that many cancer cells are heavily dependent on sugar as their energy supply but it turns out that one specific type -- squamous cell carcinoma -- is remarkably more dependent said Jung-whan Kim assistant professor at the University of Texas.
