Sugar Intakes and Cancer

Filed Under Cancer 

“Beside treatment of your immune system, try to avoid sugar and you have higher chances of cure your cancer.”

My husband was telling me this after his meeting with Dr Sani. Dr Sani is his father’s cousin who provides home visit services for cancer’s patients and had helps hundreds of people with cancer. Now, my husband was helping him and has gained lots of valuable information and medical knowledge. Dr Sani will be the doctor who will provides treatment to my sister when she staying with us next month.

Lets get back to sugar. I tried to find the relation between eating sugar and found a great articles on this issue. When we eat sugar, its will rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. The blood sugar levels rise suddenly by increasing its insulin production. The function of insulin is to regulates the amount of sugar in the blood by metabolizing it for use as energy or by storing it as fat.

When too much sugar was consumed, the body will be overrun with sugar. It has trouble getting the glucose or blood sugar into the cells where it can be transformed into energy. This situation will cause the body is constantly dumping insulin into the bloodstream. The sugar is not being removed from the blood stream, this process is called insulin resistance.

However, insulin also promotes the storage of fat and obesity itself can also induce insulin resistance. That is why, the researches have been trying for decades to determine if eating sugar causes cancer or feeds a cancer that is already there.

But its already proven that when insulin levels are harmfully high at the time of a cancer diagnosis, the cancer is associated with a worse prognosis. To summed this, let me refer to a researcher named Dr. Michael Pollak from McGill University in Montreal. He said:-

“Sugar does not directly cause cancer, but people should be careful about the amount of sugar they consume, because each person’s individual body reacts differently to sugar.”

Take the safe side by avoiding eating processed sugar especially if you have been diagnosed with cancer. You might want to replaced it with sweet fruits to satisfy a craving for sweets.
