Dietary glucose affects the levels of a powerful oncogene in mice

In this study, researchers help establish the mechanisms of why a low carbohydrate diet slows tumor growth in mice. The findings do not mean that cancer patients should cut back on the sugar in their diets, but it does pose questions about the consequences of diet on increased activity of an oncogene that drives tumor growth.
