It's also important to drink plenty of good water, at the very least 8 cups or 2 liters a day. More is better, and alkalized distillled water is best. I have been told that cancer cannot grow in an alkaline (acid-free) and sugar-free diet. Sugar, I am told, is food for cancer. I eat fruit lightly, more fresh vegetables than fruit, and of course no added sugar, even subsitutes aren't good, except in moderation. I also eat no meat, only wild fresh fish, and no dairy. Meat, poultry and dairy today are all full of added hormones. Soda pop, even diet, is definitely not good. We use a lot of soy and make a wonderful milkshake of frozen banana pieces, a carton of soft tofu and about a cup or more of vanilla soy milk, and a thicker pudding with added nuts and/or unsweetened coconut . When we first started we used a lot of soy meat substitutes, but now vegetables taste so wonderful we don't even need many substitues. We eat an occasional egg but not every day. My husband is with me all the way and we have both lost weight. We are in our 70's and he has severe arthritis so we exercise only by walking and using a min-trampoline rebounder. I didn't mean to be so long-winded, but we are very enthusiastic about all this. It sounds like so many of you are doing great nutritional things. And of course we all know what faith, positive thinking, love and support do for us! I never say "I have cancer", only "I am fighting cancer!"( For 20 years now!)I can never say enough about this fantastic site and all I have learned here. Like many of you, I keep my onc on his toes! Love you! Tricia
