I read this years ago and then forgot about it.
One of my supplements recently added more hyaluronic acid to it, so I decided to start researching.
I found this.
Pacreatic cancer cells feed off hyaluronic acid
new study from researchers at the University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center shows that hyaluronic acid also acts as food to the cancer cells.
No mention on Cleveland clinic of it being dangerous
NOVOS mentions but says it's not a problem
This site says no one over 30 should use hyaluronic acid
Various places say higher hyaluronic acid concentration means less survival from cancer.
Then there is the commonly posted "fire fighter" analogy that keeps appearing online. People say "the presence of hyaluronic acid at the scene of cancer does not mean it causes cancer, similarly the presence of fire fighters at a fire does not mean the fire fighters caused the fire." You can read it in a review here, although I've seen it in more places.
Sounds like a misinterpretation of the study they are referencing.
Because that study from 2022 above says it FEEDS pancreatic cancer cells.
And that thread has a quote from DoNotAge, a company I do not trust.
Other places say it's only dangerous if you already have cancer.
Can someone smarter than me sort all this?
