Hi Mary Jo,
Well, I wasn't necessarily a big "sugar eater"- not straight sugar anyways, but I would say that I was a HUGE carbohydrate eater. Breads, pretzels, cereals, etc. I have also heard/read the correlations between sugar and cancer, but if I really looked at my diet, there were probably any number of possible problems. I had an extremely acidic diet, and have drunk 10 or so diet sodas daily since I was about 15. So, whether its sugar, acidity, or aspartame :-), who knows. Could have been the fertilizer we used or some bug spray I breathed in when I was eight also. Wouldn't it be wonderful though (in a perfect world) if sugar KILLED cancer?! WHOO HOO!!!!
Love,
Kelly
