Well, you did ask and I have to be honest, I believe that sugar should be avoided if you've had b/c. This is my opinion based on all the available research. I've given up many things since my diagnosis and am still refining my diet now. My new diet is one for life.
The thing is you can't eat sugar AND keep your insulin levels low. Every time you eat sugar you have an surge in insulin levels. It's a natural response. When you eat simple sugars your body actually goes in to a state of emergency and insulin is produced in an effort to regain homestasis (sp?)...that is the right balance.
Oh and don't be surprised that your onc hasn't advised you about diet. Remember he/she is an oncologist and as such ONLY specializes in oncology.....not nutrition. Respect him for his exptertise in his own field.....no more and no less.
Love and best wishes to you,
Janet.
