Being diagnosed with cancer has nothing to do with moral values. Mito: people with cancer have sugar should be avoided as it causes cancer to grow faster.
Truth:
Sugar does not make the cancer grow faster. All cells - cancer cells, as well as - depending on the blood sugar (glucose) into energy. But giving more sugar to cancer cells do not accelerate its growth and depriving the cancer cells like sugar does not slow their growth as well.
All tissue absorbs a portion of the tracer, but the cancer cells absorb more quantities. That's why we think that cancer cells grow faster sugar. Myth: A positive attitude is all you need to beat cancer.
Truth:
Having a positive attitude to life, fight against cancer, it has not been scientifically proven. While this may improve the chances of recovery.
But in general, it helps improve quality of life during the treatment of cancer and beyond. You are likely to stay active and continue social activities that will enhance the feeling of well-being and help you find the strength to cope with cancer.
Myth: If we can put a man on the moon, we have a cure against cancer now.
Truth:
Finding a cure for cancer is proving to be more complex than the mastery of engineering and physics required for space flight.
Cancer has actually many diseases. While medical science has progressed, but doctors still much to learn about what triggers a cell become cancerous and why some cancer patients do better than others.
Moreover, cancer is a moving target. Cancer cells can continue to mutate and change over the course of the disease, thus leading cancer cells no longer respond to treatment they received initially.
