Cancer does greatly feed off sugar. However, starches are also converted to

sugar, so natural sugar's not intrinsically any worse than starchy foods. For

instance, due to their extremeley high-glycemic index, I think white potatoes on

an empty stomach are worse than almost any fruit.

Secondly, many fruit have cancer-healing properties. Next to vegetables, I think

they're the best food group for most cancer patients to eat. Just avoid a huge

amount of sweet fruit at a given meal, and avoid eating large amounts of

high-glycemic fruit (e.g., dates, watermelon, honeydew) on an empty stomach.

I believe the issue is the acid/alkaline balance, which sugar especially

(and other refined starchy foods) tilts toward acid. The foods that push

this balance toward alkaline include carrot juice, chlorophyll (like

wheatgrass juice), lemon juice, and a host of other supplements. Food

combining is a great tool to deal with acidity, too.

Thanks and Leonard for your replies. We are aware that cancer

feeds off sugar and Mel has banned all natural sugar, and most of the

high glycemic foods you mention. We were intriqued by hydrazine

sulphate as a way to eliminate those minute amounts of sugar that he

is still ingesting, but will pass on it. Thanks for your input,

greatly appreciated....

I had no idea that cancer feed off sugar... where can I find more

info about sugar and cancer?
