Does anyone know if sugar is best avoided and whether organic food and weights are best for helping to slow down cancer

Hello,

(If you're looking into some more natural ways to help prevent the increase of cancer, I can advise on what i've heard. But please remember that none of this, is really proven and it's just what people say works for them).

The theory is:

* They believe cancer likes sugar
* They believe cancer grows in more acidic environments.
* Some people believe that bi-carb naturalized the acid environment and stops cancer growth.

Results = I've heard that people do an bi-carb/water. So two parts bi-carb/water mixture to one part honey or something liquid sweet. The whole idea is that, the cancer cell draws the honey into them and the bi-carb prevents their growth or something to the effect.

Some people use it to ease the effects of chemotherapy as well.

As for organic food, i suppose its merely to lessen the sugar intake. E.g. some fruits are known to be particular high in natural sugars.

A heathy diet lower in carbohydrates is best Organic food is free of pesticides so it sounds beneficial.  Sugar is a funny word, Its not just sugar one should avoid but all the foods that convert to sugars once you eat them, for example Bread , Pasta ect.. Depending on your stage of cancer you may have to get a PET Scan . They tell you to limit your carbohydrate intake for 24-48 hours before the test. And you need to fast 6 hours before the test. Then they inject a radioactive sugar water into you. The cancer does metabalize the sugar faster than the rest of your body, Hence showing up on the scan, Making it easier to track . Sugar is all around not good for you. It has no nutritional value and no benefits. one can of a sugar beverage can lower your immune system for an hour after you drink it.  You would be better getting the nutitional benefits and sweetness from fruit instead. There is quite a bit of info for you to reference and it can see overwhelming.Best Wishes
