How Allulose Aids Metabolism & Fructose Fuels Cancer | Journal Club | The Metabolic Link Ep. 30

In this episode, our co-hosts Dr. Dominic D’Agostino, Dr. Angela Poff, and Victoria Field discuss two recent scientific papers on the metabolic effects of allulose and how blocking fructose intake may help fight cancer. The first paper examines how allulose consumption influences metabolic factors like appetite, blood sugar, and insulin sensitivity through the release of key gut hormones and effects on carbohydrate digestion and metabolism. The second paper reviews multiple lines of evidence linking fructose metabolism to driving cancer progression. High fructose intake may directly supply tumors with fuel and biomolecular building blocks to grow while also creating an obesity and diabetic state that triggers cancer development. The paper proposes dietary fructose restriction as a potential anti-cancer intervention. Overall, the episode illuminates cutting-edge research on sugar, diet and disease. With that said, our hosts emphasize the need for further study. In every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.
