Hi Hebla,

Thanks for that, both articles came useful as confirming that cancer cells have insuline receptors stimulating growth. I was not suggesting to use IPT but I was interested in the fact that cancer cell have 20 times more insuline receptors than normal cells.

This to me would suggest that a good cancer diet would avoid having high peak of insuline i.e. a low G.I diet and therefore we should avoid sugars in the diet. At least it seems logical, I heard a lot that "sugar feeds cancer" well this seems to be another argument for it.
