Update: Cancer & Sugar

We had previously shared how sugar feeds cancer; a fact that most in the conventional medical community have disputed for years.  However, some scientists are finally starting to sound the alarm, and none too soon if you ask me:  Is Sugar Toxic?

Like my own, most medical doctors will tell you not to change how you eat, but simply try to eat a "good, balanced diet" when you are diagnosed with cancer.  However, I have found that beating cancer requires us to have wisdom about what we are eating and how such is affecting our health.  As long as there are lobbiests with deep pockets (pharma, agriculture, etc.) it will be essential that we take responsibility for maintaining our own health and not simply take answers that are given to us.
The article says in part:
"And other scientific work shows that sugar could also be helping some cancer tumors to grow because sugar stimulates the production of the hormone insulin. Nearly a third of common cancers such as some breast and colon cancers, contain insulin receptors that eventually signal the tumor to consume glucose. Lewis Cantley, a Harvard professor and head of the Beth Israel Deaconess Cancer Center, says some of those cancers have learned to adapt to an insulin-rich environment. "They have evolved the ability to hijack that flow of glucose that's going by in the bloodstream into the tumor itself."
God tells us that He will give us wisdom is we ask for it.   Matters of our health are no different.

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." James 1:5
