[Guest guest]

Two years ago my ex was diagnosed with 3rd stage Melanoma that was in his lymph

nodes. As well as doing most of what the doctor's said, he went to a naturopath

(who I am sure saved his life). The naturopath told him that cancer loved

sugar. He immediately stopped eating anything with sugar in it, other than

fruits and vegetables. He hasn't eaten any sugar since.

The ironic thing is that when he went to the cancer clinic for his appts. and

radiation, the first thing he saw was a plate of cookies in the waiting room.

Didn't give him much faith in modern medicine.

By the way, (with fingers crossed) it is 2 years later and he is fine and doing

heavy landscaping again.

The program " The View " had a segment on " Sugar "

Fri.10-22-04

Hi Everybody, I was home at 11 AM today and was watching " The

View " . I was happy to hear that they were having a segment on

sugar. I did jot down notes. The part I did remember was that you

should have only 40 total grams of sugar for the day or no more than

10 added teaspoons a day. I also remember Joy saying that there are

the good sugars and natural sugars like milk, fruits and

vegetables. The glycemic index shows beets, carrots and baked

potatoes as a high sugar food. Joy said don't worry about the

fruits and vegetables like beets and carrots and baked potatoes on

that high glycemic list. Was happy to hear that because I have my

vegetable juice daily with beets and carrots in it.

Here's those notes from the website. Have a good evening everybody!

The nutritionist Joy Bauer showed us the surprising effect sugar has

on our bodies. Sugar can do more than just put on pounds and give us

cavities; it can actually cause mood swings, irritability and

incredible fatigue. According to Joy, if you consume food with a

concentrated amount of sugar, you're going to get a rise in your

blood sugar level. This will trigger your body's insulin to take the

sugar out of your blood and into your cells, bringing you right back

down and causing you to feel out of it.

Below you will find a simple guideline to consider when preparing

your meals or grocery shopping. If the effects of sugar are still

not clear, please visit joybauernutrition.com. You may also refer to

one of Joy's books for other nutritional questions. These books are

90/10 Weight-Loss Plan, Cooking with Joy or The Complete Idiot's

Guide to Total Nutrition.

Be sure to look for these hidden sugars when reviewing ingredients

on packaging labels:

Added or Processed Sugars:

Sugar (raw, brown or white)

Corn syrup

High fructose corn syrup

Honey

Molasses

Fruit juice concentrate

40 total grams of sugar is the recommended allowance per day. This

amount is equal to 10 teaspoons.

Good sugars are natural sugars that can also provide nutrition.

Good Sugars:

Low-fat milk

Skim milk

Apples

Pineapple

Strawberries

Cantaloupe

Tomato

Cucumber

Sweet potato

A High Glycemic Index is a rating that lists foods that can increase

the body's sugar levels. If the list includes fruits and vegetables,

do not worry about them.

Good Sugars with High Glycemic Index:

Beets

Carrots

Bananas

Grapes

Oranges

Whole wheat bread

Baked potatoes

Try to stay away from starches. White flour quickly converts into

sugar when digested. Stick with browns.

Bad Sugars:

2 tbs. of Jelly or Jam = 4 tsp. sugar

Sugar Cereals = 4 tsp. sugar

¼ cup of Light Pancake Syrup = 6 tsp. sugar

Dried Fruit = 18 tsp. sugar

Ketchup = 4 tsp. sugar

Orange Juice & Apple Juice = 6 tsp. sugar

Iced Tea = 11 tsp. sugar

20 oz. Cola = 17.5 tsp. sugar

Frozen Yogurt = 8 tsp. sugar

Slice of Chocolate Cake = 8 tsp. sugar

It has not been scientifically proven that sugar causes

hyperactivity in children. Be your own investigator. If you notice

that a particular sweet makes your child hyper, keep it away from

them around bedtime.

Keep sugar out of your meals and beverages. Consume smaller amounts

and eat more real food. If you'd like to substitute sugar, you can

use Splenda or Equal in moderation.

Typical Day of Food (10 teaspoons of sugar)

Breakfast:

Egg white omelet w/ tomatoes and whole wheat toast

½ grapefruit

Coffee w/ 1 tsp. sugar

Lunch:

Cup of veggie or lentil soup

A scoop of tuna with mayo on a bed of greens

Snack:

Handful of almonds

An apple and some carrots

Dinner:

Turkey burger on wheat bun w/ 2 tablespoons of ketchup (= 2 tsp.

sugar)

Sautéed broccoli in olive oil and garlic

Dessert:

2 chocolate chip cookies and a glass of skim milk (= 3 tsp. sugar)

I don't understand it. I have told lots of people about the naturopath and

about the sugar and other things, and they just hump their shoulders and act as

if I am talking crazy.

I also told a woman I see all the time at the local supermarket about how taking

Vit B6 and turmeric and bromaine had really helped my carpal tunnel. She is a

cashier and wears a brace on both wrists. She also told me that she had had

both of them operated on before and it had returned. She didn't pay a bit of

attention to what I was saying.

What a great story. Good for you Sharon. Why can't we reach people?

[Guest guest]

Isn't that so frustrating, Sharron. The only person I've said anything to

that listened to me was my dentist. On my history she asked about food

allergies or sensitivities. I mentioned the avoids and where I checked

arthritis mentioned that avoiding the foods had stopped it, and she really

seemed to find that interesting. The ones with newly developed arthritis,

just look at me and say " but it so easy to just take a pill " .

For sure. My good O friend is waiting for gastric bypass surgery. she's

a vegetarian eating dairy and soy (and I suspect a nonsecretor by her

diseases list) and she is in constant pain from severe fibromyalgia and

whatever else - bloated beyond all recognition as her prior self.

But try an O diet? no chance.

Her diet could not be worse fro her and by-pass surgery is not going to

change that. (Currently she is too ill for the surgery and she's trying

to persuade the doctor to do it before she gets worse....)

You can't help someone who doesn't want it :-(

My father died rather than try what I knew would help.

His choice - but gee...

Namaste,

Irene
