Foods made of refined sugars such as cakes, cookies, pies, soda, juice, and cereals, also cause spikes in insulin levels and encourage rapid growth of malignant cells.

Red Meat Increases Cancer Risk Because of Toxic Immune Response. Consumption of red meat has long been linked to the development of certain types of cancer. Now scientists believe theyâve found the culprit behind red meatâs carcinogenic effects. A new study reports that a sugar molecule found in the flesh of beef, lamb and pork could be triggering an immune response in humans that causes inflammation, which ultimately contributes to tumor growth. Long-term exposure to this sugar in mice caused a five-fold increase in their chances of developing cancer.
