Hi Angela: I found your information and the attached conversation about sugar and the relationship to cancer very interesting because of my lifestyle. Because I have lived a significant portion of my life in the remote far north of Canada, I have had limited access to grocery stores. As a result,I have had very low consumption of sugar over my lifetime (compared to most north americans). For instance, my lifetime total pop consumption is probably fewer than 100 cans. Because I have had limited access to stores I have almost never consumed any pre-processed foods (with their secret loads of sugar and salt) or consumed fast foods. I make almost everything from scratch and almost never consume white foods such as white flour, w. rice etc. This also includes food that I consumed in childhood as my parents basically grew everything that we ate including the meat. Yet this exceedingly puritan lifestyle hasn't saved me from the dreaded cancer that this site represents. Just an observation.
