Stephen - Did your Dr indicate it has a effect ? I have heard / Read that sugars effect some cancers ....BUT , I have read that PC is sensitive to Testosterone (T) . Sugar is not really what I have read . Fruit sugar is readily digestible . James .

There's no direct evidence that sugar directly causes prostate cancer or fuels its growth, according to MD Anderson Cancer Center.

BUT

High blood sugar levels can trigger the body to produce more insulin. Some cancers, including prostate cancer, may utilize insulin as a growth factor, potentially accelerating their growth.
