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

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.
