The body's cells love glucose, so they do feed off sugar. Cancer cells breed more rapidly, which means they eat more.

Can cancer still attack one's body following death?

Cancer needs a source of sugar to burn to keep diseased cells alive. Instead of oxidizing the sugar via cellular mitochondria, cancer cells ferment the sugar to release energy. If the person is dead long enough, then the cancer will run out of sugar eventually. If some of the diseased cells are accidentally surgically removed for organ transplantation into a recipient patient, that recipient could easily get cancer due to the anti-rejection drugs given to them that prevent that person's immune system from attacking the new organ as though it was a foreign invader. In this case, cancer cells or the underlying chemical toxic causes of cancer could be transplanted and attack that person's body following death of the original patient.

Are cancer cells dangerous?

Yes cancer cells are dangerous. Malignant cancer cells are the most dangerous as they can replicate and move to different parts of the body. Benign cancer cells are far less dangerous and don't replicate or move around the body.


Can cancer following death still continue?

This is debatable in terms of the definition of death! Yes, for a little while until the cancer cells run out of a sugar source. If a person stops breathing for 2 minutes, this is not death if they begin to breath again right afterwards--this near death event will not cure cancer. Whereas normal cells require oxygen, cancer cells do not. Both normal and cancer cells both need sugar nutrients to live. When the circulatory system stops pumping blood via the heart, oxygen and sugar nutrients stop flowing to cells. Sugar already in the cells may be able to maintain the cancerous cell's life longer than normal cells whose oxygen supply is stopped upon the patient stopping breathing. The oxidation of sugar and the fermentation of sugar both produce heat. When the body has been dead long enough, the body temperature will drop rapidly indicating death at the cellular level.


When cancer cells invade other cells and tissues in the body the cancer is said to have done what?

When cancer cells invade other cells and tissues in the body, the cancer is said to have metastasized. This means that the cancer has spread from its original location to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. Metastasis is a key factor in determining the stage and prognosis of the cancer.

Eating lots of sugar daily causes Type 2 Diabetes. Sugar slows down your white blood cells and increase risks for infection such as Cancer Cells form in your body.


How fast do cancer cells divide and multiply within the body?

Cancer cells can divide and multiply at a faster rate than normal cells in the body, leading to uncontrolled growth and the formation of tumors. The exact speed at which cancer cells divide can vary depending on the type of cancer and individual factors.
