How Sugar promotes the growth and spread of cancer

Cancer cells are obligate glucose metabolizers, and as they metabolize that glucose, they excrete a lactic acid by-product which further increases the acidity of the body and this creates an ideal environment for cancer to grow and spread. With that in mind, one way to seriously weaken a cancerous cell is by cutting off its supply of simple sugars and the other foods that the body can easily convert into glucose such as white flour, refined grains, white potatoes, and white rice. One example of how modern medicine knowingly exploits a cancerous cells weakness to glucose is with the use of the radioactive glucose dye that is injected into the body to perform a PET (Positron Emission Tomography). The dye is called fluroxydiglucose or FDG, and it has radioisotopes that are attached to sugar molecules. Cancer cells have 10 to 20 times more insulin receptors than healthy cells and this allows the cancerous cells to gobble up the radioactive dye mixture to reveal any cancerous growths or changes in tumor size. In his book ‘Anticancer: A New Way of Life,’ David Servan-Schreiber MD, PhD, writes in regards to sugar, “when we eat sugar, or white flour, or foods with a high ‘glycemic index’, the blood levels of glucose rise rapidly. The body immediately releases a dose of insulin to enable the glucose to enter the cells. The secretion of insulin is accompanied by the release of another molecule, called IGF (insulin-like growth factor), whose role it is to stimulate cell growth. He writes that “insulin and IGF not only stimulate the growth of cancer cells, but also their capacity to invade neighboring tissues.” Furthermore, insulin and IGF have another effect: “They promote the factors of inflammation, which also stimulates cell growth, and acts in turn as fertilizer for tumors.” https://cancercompassalternateroute.com/
