Aretha Franklin Reportedly Has Pancreatic Cancer: 4 Facts About the Disease
By J. Richard - AOL News(Dec. 9) -- "Queen of Soul" Aretha Franklin is battling cancer but doing "OK," a relative told FOX 2 News in Detroit. Although the type of cancer hasn't been officially confirmed, media reports say the 68-year-old diva has been diagnosed with incurable pancreatic cancer. It's "one of the deadliest and most painful types of cancer," with 95 percent of patients dying within five years of diagnosis, according to a 2007 report in The New York Times.

Fructose: The Sugar of Choice for Cancer Cells
By Katie Drummond - AOL News(Aug. 3) -- All sugars are not created equal, according to new research that's established fructose as the food of choice for hungry, proliferating pancreatic cancer cells. And the finding offers more than just a new clue to understanding, and maybe curing, cancer. It's also bad news for most Americans, who devour more fructose, much of it via high-fructose corn syrup, than ever. The sugary compound -- derived from glucose and fructose -- is found in soft drinks, packaged cookies, cereals and other grocery store mainstays. The average American consumes nearly 60 pounds of HFCS a year. What ...
