Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road: Dr. Hemanth G N on Fad or fact: Can cutting sugar reduce your risk of cancer?
The belief that cutting sugar reduces cancer risk is a common misconception. While consuming processed, carb-rich foods can contribute to obesity a significant cancer risk factor eliminating sugar won’t prevent or kill cancer cells. Dr. Otto Warburg’s renowned "Warburg effect" theory revealed that cancer cells consume glucose inefficiently, but this has often been misunderstood. The body maintains blood glucose levels through homeostasis, ensuring cancer cells are not "starved" by cutting sugar. Although ketogenic diets can aid in weight management, they lack scientific backing as effective cancer treatments. Dr. Hemanth G N, Consultant - Surgical Oncology & Robotic Surgery at Manipal Hospital, Bengaluru, highlights the importance of maintaining healthy glucose levels, emphasizing that balanced nutrition and overall health are key to effective cancer prevention and treatment.

Dr. Devesh S Ballal on Can vaping cause cancer? Know the Truth and Health Effect Can Vaping Cause Cancer?
Dr. Devesh S. Ballal, Consultant in Surgical Oncology & Robotic Surgery at Manipal Hospital, cautions against assuming vaping is a completely safe alternative to smoking. While vaping may contain fewer carcinogens than traditional cigarettes, it still introduces harmful chemicals like nicotine, formaldehyde, and acetaldehyde into the body, which can damage cells and increase the risk of cancer over time. The long-term health effects of vaping remain under research, but the potential for harm, particularly with prolonged use, is significant. Dr. Ballal emphasizes the importance of making informed choices and advises caution when considering vaping as a substitute for smoking.
