Pure Ignorance from Cancer Research UK

This is the level of ignorance we’re dealing with ?‍♂️‬

Sugar isn’t the only thing that feeds cancer cells but it is one of the primary fuel sources for them, as well as fungus, parasites and pathogenic bacteria.

Sugar also completely wipes out your body’s immune system so it can’t attack these cancerous cells.

Of course there are many factors as to why one gets cancer but even on a very basic level eliminating or reducing your sugar intake will boost your health and make your internal environment a much less susceptible place for cancer cells to grow.

Remember the difference between health coaches and the medical profession is we regenerate health, we don’t fight disease, because we know a healthy body doesn’t get disease.

Here’s a section taken from an articl written by Dr Mercola on this very issue called…

“Sugar Identified as a Top Cause of the Surge in Cancer

According to the Credit Suisse Research Institute’s 2013 study, “Sugar: Consumption at a Crossroads,” as much as 40 percent of US healthcare expenditures are for diseases directly related to the overconsumption of sugar.

Incredibly, Americans spend more than $1 trillion each year fighting the damaging health effects of sugar, which runs the gamut from obesity and diabetes, to heart disease and cancer.

One of the key mechanisms by which sugar promotes cancer and other chronic disease is through mitochondrial dysfunction.

Since sugar is not our ideal fuel, it burns dirty with far more reactive oxygen species than fat, which generates far more free radicals which in turn causes mitochondrial and nuclear DNA damage along with cell membrane and protein impairment.

Research has also shown that chronic overeating in general has a similar effect. Most people who overeat also tend to eat a lot of sugar-laden foods — a double-whammy in terms of cancer risk.

Obesity, caused by a combination of eating too much refined fructose/sugar and rarely if ever fasting, may also promote cancer via other mechanisms, including chronic inflammation and elevated production of certain hormones, such as estrogen, which is associated with an increased risk for breast cancer.

According to recent research from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, refined sugar not only significantly increases your risk of breast cancer, it also raises your risk of tumours spreading to other organs.

Moreover, this study found that it was primarily the refined fructose in high-fructose corn syrup, found in most processed foods and beverages that was responsible for the breast tumours and the metastasis.

Without Sugar, Cancer Cannot Thrive.

One of the most powerful strategies I know of to avoid and/or treat cancer is to starve the cancer cells by depriving them of their food source, which is primarily sugar and excessive protein.

Unlike all the other cells in your body, which can burn carbs or fat for fuel, cancer cells have lost that metabolic flexibility and can only thrive if there enough sugar present.

German cancer researcher Dr. Otto Warburg was actually given a Nobel Prize in 1931 for discovering this. Sadly very few experts have embraced his metabolic theory of cancer, but have embraced the nuclear genetic theory that is a downstream side effect of mitochondrial dysfunction.

Make no mistake about it, the FIRST thing you want to do if you want to avoid or treat cancer if you have insulin or leptin resistance (which 85 percent of people do) is to cut out all forms of sugar/fructose and grain carbs from your diet, in order to optimise the signalling pathways that contribute to malignant transformation.”

I hope reading that helped you grasp an understanding of how sugar plays a role in cancer not only growing but spreading to other areas of the body.

If you have any questions then don’t hesitate to ask.

Happy Friday
