Re: Sugar in western diets increases risk for bc tumors and metastasis 2 lung
Thank you for posting this Lani, this is extremely important for all cancer survivors to understand. I have been working with a health/wellness coach and we were just talking about this yesterday. She has me focused on cutting sugar out of my diet and we discussed yesterday on why doctors do not focus on communicating the role of diet in cancer after care.
We know our cancer cells are active and we need to do everything we can to stop them from multiplying - if sugar is one of the top fuelers for the cells, then why does no one tell us this?
