They've found that a combination of eating too much sugar and not enough fiber causes the gut to produce a bacteria that speeds up the aging of people's cells. This makes them more susceptible to mutations and damage that leads to cancer and less likely to be able to fight off the growth of tumor cells, according to new research presented at the world's largest cancer conference this weekend.
