A member asked:

Is oatmeal with evaporated cane juice better for you than guar gum in oatmeal? i understand ecj is a sweetener contains sucrose and guar gum cancer

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No concerns for Canc: I would not be concerned about cancer related to sugar as long as it is eaten in moderation and your weight is in the healthy range. This question is only relevant if you are overweight in which case reduce the amount of sweetners that you use but do so slowly.
