A new study out of Europe has concluded that high blood sugar levels could lead to increased cancer rates in women.

High blood sugars, which can be caused by eating too many sugary foods, is a leading causing of several ailments (like diabetes). This is the first time I've seen it linked to cancer, though.

Refined sugars are not at all healthy for the body, although raw cane sugar (in moderate amounts) is great as a sweetener. As long as you don't dump two tablespoons in your tea, that is.
