A new test for some types of Cancer

There is no doubt that Peter Harvey, one of our most eminent journalists here in Australia will indeed be sadly missed after he recently lost his fight with Pancreatic Cancer.
Let's hope that our current medical system takes note of this new discovery and the invention of a sensor which is capable of detecting not only pancreatic but also ovarian & lung cancer in their early stages.
Early detection is vital for survival- this has the potential to save thousands.
The sensor is 168 times faster, 26,000 times less expensive, and 400 times more sensitive than the current standard of detection. The test cost 3 cents, takes 5 minutes and has a 90 percent accuracy rate and we have a 15yr. old to thank for it!
JACK ANDRAKA'S story is amazing.

 

 

 

 

Research suggests that 3 lifestyle issues may contribute to the development of pancreatic cancer: sugar/fructose consumption, Vitamin D deficiency and a lack of physical exercise.

Furthermore, pancreatic tumor cells have been found to use fructose, specifically, to divide and proliferate — again attesting to the fact that there are significant metabolic differences between fructose and other sugars.
