Explanation:
Its was discovered back in the 1920s, by Dr. Ralph DeBerardinis and Dr. Joshua Rabinowitz that cancer cells prefer not to rely on the citric acid cycle like healthy cells do. Instead, they turn most of their pyruvate (SALT) into lactate, which then releases. Because cancer cells consume so much glucose, they end up producing a lot of lactate.
