Re: Different types of sugar

[Guest guest]

Jane,

 

When I first started seeing my alternative doctor, she told me cancer cells will

feed off of most fruits.  She said Avacados are good, but the only other fruits

I should have is a green apple, lemons and pear.  I juice alot and she wanted me

to juice using a lot of kale, which taste awful, but with a green apple and

lemon in it, it doesnt taste bad.  I belive fruits are healthy but if your

battling cancer, you should avoid most at least untill your in remission.  Also,

I do belive you can starve your cancer cells while giving nutritian to your

healthy cells.  Lots of veggies, especially the dark green veggies high in

chlorophyll and raw and juicing is good since cancer cells don't like enzymes

but our healthy cells do.

Jane,

Not all sugar types are equal. Please see this recent news article.

My daughter has had multiple concussions and if she eats refined sugar, white

bread and stuff like that, she gets a headache. If she eats fruit or other

natural sugars no headache.  Interesting, isn't it. I think she gets a headache

from honey also.

Thanks,

Robyn

A couple of weeks ago I read something interesting that the sugar in carrot

juice and fruits is taken in by the cancer but these sugars are cancer fighting

so it is good. I hope this is true.

Thanks,

Robyn

I've learned that yeast and fungus DO feed on the sugars found in fruits,

after all -- even if the said sugars are simple and natural (as opposed to

refined). I've been wondering, then, whether the sugar in fruits will feed

cancer cells as well. When I posted this question on Answers, the

replies were basically uniform: cancer is not some foreign, invasive germ or

diseases. Rather, it's your own cells (within you) behaving badly; like healthy

cells, they get fed and nourished by the food you eat.

The bottom line is that you cannot *starve* your cancer cells without also

starving your healthy cells. But this goes contrary to what I've read and

heard, thus far. Is it entirely accurate? Is there really no difference

between consuming sugars found in fruits and table sugar?

If anything, I believe our cells need glucose -- and that certain foods or

ingredients DO *feed* cancer cells. If not, they feed healthy cells and thereby

turn them cancerous. Is this a correct way of looking at the matter?

Robyn, Jane,

from what I've read, all cells in your body survive with at least 2 types of

metabolism. Healthy cells use oxygen to burn calories primarily and use

glycolysis (fermentation) only about 20% of the time. Fermentation burns sugar

anaerobically (no oxygen involved). When a cell becomes cancerous due to

deprived oxygen over an extended period of time, it changes to near 100%

fermentation, burning sugar with no oxygen. Most alternative cancer therapies

reduce the amount of sugars one eats, regardless of the type, because sugars, no

matter where they are on the " glycemic index " , still get totally into the blood

sooner or later. It seems that if you have higher levels of sugar in your blood,

you are without a doubt feeding the cancer.

The alternative is to have minimal sugars circulating in the blood. Your cells

will then burn fat to a large degree. Its a less efficient metabolism, but the

preferred metabolism of the heart and kidneys, and the metabolism that all cells

revert to short-term, when not enough oxygen is available, as in extreme

physical exertion. And you don't even need to be eating fat and having it

circulating in the blood. Your body will take fat from where it is stored and

deliver it to the cells. As you might guess, fat metabolism is less efficient

than sugar metabolism. the healthy cells can use it though. Cancer cells

heavily prefer sugar as a food.

So I agree that one can feed their healthy cells while starving their cancer

cells.

Robyn I have advance prostrate cancer so I have a salad every day for

lunch, but I found if I dont have them, I feel not well and I get fatigued .

The same thing happens if I have white bread or any sugary food or fruit. It

causes my prostrate to swell up and I feel feel pain in

my penis. Soon after I'm unable to pee well. I've stopped having carrots or

tomato and they say it's not good with prostrate cancer. Ray

That's a slight exaggeration. Among other things, you can slow down their growth

by keeping blood-sugar levels low.

<<Is there really no difference between consuming sugars found in fruits and

There are a few differences. Table sugar's worse overall.

To avoid blood sugar and insulin spikes (which feed cancer), (1) avoid eating a

huge amount of carbs at any 1 meal and (2) avoid eating a large amount of high

glycemic food BY ITSELF ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. A small amount of high-glycemic

food is fine, and if you eat protein or fat 1st, subsequently eating

high-glycemic food isn't an issue per se. (though it's best to eat fruit by

itself rather than mixing it w/other foods, though acid fruit can be eaten

w/nuts)

Besides junk food, the high-glycemic foods to avoid consuming in large amounts

on empty stomach are (in order of glycemic index beginning w/the highest

glycemic index): beer, dates, white/red potato, nonsprouted wheat, millet,

couscous, corn products, white rice, muesli, mango. However, dates, millet,

brown rice, apricots, and dried fruit are cancer-healing, and I would make it a

point to eat them, just not in large amounts on empty stomach (dates are

exceptionally high-glycemic, so never eat more than the tiniest amount on empty

stomach).

Melon has a low glycemic LOAD, making it safe to eat in small-to-medium amounts

on an empty stomach.
