Re: Sugar & Cancer--The Connection
My take on it is closest to StephN's in practice.
But I think cancer is just metabolic gluttony, and it does better with anyone whose metabolic system happens to be fast. And sugar is the fast food for metabolism. If someone's metabolism is slow, or if it takes longer to metabolize other foods, the cancer will be slower.
Which is why I think menopause caused by EITHER chemo or OA helps more than "killing cancer cells" -- especially since chemotherapy doesn't kill stem cells.
