This Food is ROCKET FUEL for Cancer

As you probably know by now, I’m not a big fan of sugar.
I hate sugar the way Yankees fans hate the Red Sox (and vice-versa).
I think of sugar like cigarettes: sugar is addicting, and it does lots of harm to our bodies.
But it turns out that sugar is a lot worse for us than we ever knew.
And if you or someone you love is fighting cancer, this is one warning you don’t want to miss.
It all comes down to what is called the Warburg effect.
In 1920, famous scientist Dr. Otto Warburg noticed that cancer cells did something normal cells did not.
They created energy by rapidly breaking down glucose to create energy.
In other words, cancer cells CRAVE sugar.
Dr. Warburg thought that depriving cancer cells of sugar would be a great way to fight them.
And he was right.
We think of cancer cells as sturdy and tough, but they are really weak because sugar is their only fuel.
Normal cells can use many different energy sources besides sugar. So keeping sugar out of your body does nothing to harm healthy cells: it only hurts cancer cells.
Keeping sugar in your body low is a great way to fight cancers, but there is much more you can do.
There are plenty of proven alternative medicines to help support cancer treatment:
- Vitamin C: High dose of vitamin C has been shown in many studies to help support cancer treatment.
- Ginseng: An herb that also has numerous studies that supports its use fighting cancer.
- Turmeric: An herb that has been shown to help with breast cancer, bowel cancer, stomach cancer, and skin cancer cells.
- Immune-Boosting Mushrooms: These medical mushrooms have thousands of studies that show they are helpful in boosting the immune systems, reducing spreading of cancer cells, and increase killing of cancer cells.
Health and Happiness,
