Guest guest Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 If you do a search on chocolate and colon cancer you will find that in reality it is a high antioxidant food. Has strong connections with reducing colon cancer risk. So dig in! On the other hand, I think the sugar myth comes from the fact that ALL food is turned into a sugar and then your body uses it. Cancer cells grow faster than normal cells and so they eat more 'food'. And what is the food they are eating? That sugar that everything was turned into. Sort of an aside, the high consumption rate is also what allows chemo to work because along with that sugar the cancer cells are sucking up more than their fair share of chemo. Priscilla A.
