Heart Cancer?
In the past I’ve noted that there is some evidence for treating cancer with a low carb diet. Cancer cells need glucose to survive and if you starve them of it they die. Richard pulled a lot of the references together here too.
Here is an interesting post noting that you never hear about heart cancer.
While the heart muscle can use sugar as fuel, many experts claim that the hearts preferred source of fuel is saturated fat and ketone bodies.
In fact, Richard Veech MD has shown that the heart works 28 percent more efficiently using ketones as a fuel than it does using glucose. Therefore, more than likely the experts are right that fat is the ‘gas’ of the heart.
Cancer needs sugar to survive. No sugar, no cancer. Your liver is the creator of glucose (sugar) and liver cancer is one of the worst forms of cancer you can get. You pretty much don’t get better once you have liver cancer.
I tried to help my mother who died of lung cancer a few months ago to adopt a no sugar diet. She didn’t or wouldn’t. Same for my father who died of liver cancer.
I’ve noticed that people with cancer eat a lot of sugar -or drink it.
And when you are in the hospital taking chemo to treat your cancer, you tend to lose your appetite. And what does the hospital give you to eat since you do need to eat? They give you a drink called Nutrament. The primary ingredients in Nutrament are carbohydrate and sugar to the tune of 52 grams and 49 grams respectively.
Seems to me the thing to do to help combat cancer is to remove sugar (carbs) from the diet. Eskimo’s never got cancer. And they never ate sugar. A coincidence? Maybe, maybe…
