There is no evidence that sugar causes cancer. If you have cancer, sugar is absorbed by cancer cells faster than normal cells.
This is evidenced in a diagnostic test called a PET scan. The patient is put on a no sugar no carbohydrate fast. Our bodies require a certain amount of sugar, and if we don't consume natural sugars, our body will convert available resources, usually carbohydrates, into sugar. This fast will assure that any active cancer will be hungry when it is time for the PET scan.
A radioactive sugar solution is injected into a vein, and the patient is instructed to remain still for an hour. The test resembles a CT scan. The patient will be positioned lying down on their back, strapped in so it's easier to remain still while the machine takes pictures for around a half hour.
When the pictures are ready, any active cancer will glow with the radioactive sugar solution. The hungry cancer sucks it up.
So while sugar doesn't cause cancer, cancer loves sugar.

Sugar acidify's the body. Cancer needs an acidic environment to grow. Sugar is evil. If you muscle test someone while holding it you see how it weakens them. It burns chromium out of the body, which makes you crave more sugar. The native americans saw sugar coming in visions (sweet sand) and they told their people that if you eat it, your troubles will be everlasting.
And they were right.

Eating too much sugar will NOT cause hepatitis! Or cancer. But you'll be healthier in general if you avoid refined sugars as much as possible. Everything in moderation -- a motto for a healthy life.

Anything in quantity will cause cancer. If one were to drink enough water, it would eventually cause cancer. For example, Sweet N lo was tagged to cause cancer. It took 1000 times the average daily dose for humans to cause cancer in lab rats.
