Thanks for this link and information. I have always felt my diet contributed to the growth of cancer in my body, considering I have no other risk factors. I've grown up and lived on a high carbo diet, moderately overweight. Even after completing treatment, except for Tamoxifen, I still don't feel "well". Can't explain it, but of course I wonder if it my body still fighting cancer cells. More research for me AND get away from the things that turn in to glucose!
