Perfect timing. I am an oncology RN and just last week I had 2 diff patients with metastatic cancer resist certain foods on their tray because “sugar feeds cancer”. I tried to encourage them both to eat whatever they felt they could keep down and maybe worry less about the ingredients for the moment, pointing out that the research had not linked sugar and cancer in this kind of direct and menacing way. No luck.
If “ Cancer cells preferentially use glucose for biosynthesis instead of ATP synthesis” and consume sugar at a faster rate than healthy cells, could refraining from sugar slow the growth of cancer cells (not cure),
In that context, then could a low sugar diet SUPPORT conventional treatment (not replace it)?

That has to be so stressful and frustrating for you! Feel free to share this article, if you find it will be useful!
