Americans love sugar more than any other food.
Sugar is linked to a whole medical manual of illnesses… insomnia, hair loss, obesity, allergies, bipolar disorder, hypertension, heart disease, and of course, diabetes.
And yet, many people still consider it a harmless treat.
But new research is rekindling the urgency of the war on sugar. Scientists have discovered the worst sugar scourge…. It fuels the spread of can.cer, especially breast can.cer.
And removing it from your diet can actually reverse can.cer growth.
Sugar: A Powerful Fuel for Can.cer
Researchers at MD Anderson Can.cer Center in Texas have found that sugar can transform localized, non-threatening can.cers into deadly malignancies that spread throughout the body.
The findings help explain what oncologists have noticed for years… Patients who eat sugary foods are more likely to have advanced can.cer.
Regular table sugar, or sucrose, is actually made up of two sugars: glucose and fructose. The study found that fructose caused tumors to grow larger and faster than glucose.
Fructose is primarily processed by the liver, while glucose is processed by the pancreas and other organs. These two different processing systems could explain the research findings.
Of course, the sugar industry attacked the study. They pointed out that fructose occurs naturally in fruit. The researchers countered that some fructose is necessary for the body. But Americans eat far more of it than they could ever ingest from fruit.
And fruits contain fiber and other healthy components mixed with fructose. Sugary drinks, the primary source of sugar in the American diet, provide no nutrition.
Three Healthy Natural Sweeteners
There are alternatives to sugar that do not pose major health risks:
Raw honey: Make sure it’s unprocessed: Refined honey can be as bad as sugar. Look for 100% organic raw honey. The darker the honey, the more nutrients and flavor it contains. It also offers antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic, and antioxidant properties.
Blackstrap molasses: Don’t confuse this with regular molasses. Blackstrap molasses is a byproduct of sugarcane. It contains healthy minerals like iron, magnesium, calcium, and vitamin B6, which are unprocessed. It doesn’t flood your body with sugar. The sugar is released slowly. Beware of non-organic brown cane sugar: this is usually white sugar recolored with caramel.
Stevia: This low-calorie natural substance is made from the leaves of a plant native to South America. It has a very sweet taste, so you don’t need to use it much. It has a zero glycemic index, so it has no effect on your blood sugar. Some studies have shown that in extremely high doses, it can disrupt your liver, fertility, and metabolism. Make sure to use organic varieties.
Now you can satisfy your sweet tooth without risking can.cer.
But there’s something else you need to know about can.cer research… A small group of holistic doctors were quietly making breakthroughs in the field of can.cer.
Then, when their therapies started appearing, something terrible started to happen… These doctors started to disappear.
