Sugar turns on cancer promoting genes Ras and Src.

Rat study suggests that sugar is just as addictive as cocaine.  So, is the food industry knowingly pushing addiction on the public?

diet and exercise increases BDNF.  Diets rich in omega 3, curcumin, and polyphenols increase BDNF and thus increase neuroplasticity and associated cognition.   In contrast, sugar and saturated fats in crease oxidative stress and worsened spatial learning.  This study is a review.  

simple sugars, not saturated fats linke to increased CVD.

High dietary sugar intake alters gut bacteria (increased Clostridia sp. and decrease Bacteroidetes sp).  This resulted in decreased memory learning and memory in rat study.  

Sugar feeds Cancer

low dopamine Rc associated appears to increase addiction to sugar and its positive effect on these same receptors (and another that positively interacts with dopamine Rc's) and results in overeating and weight problems.

Will there ever be a cure for cancer?  Would it surprise you if I said it already exists? It is called diet.  New study finds that high sugar intake increased breast cancer development and spread through increased 12-lipoxygenase--inflammation.

Diabetes complications are avoidable: find out how good control of blood sugar helps in reducing your chances of getting these debilitating complications

Intermittant fasting reduces inflammation, improved sugar control and reduces cardiovascular disease.

fiber, particularly soluble fiber, improves sugar control in diabetes.

Oral vitamin C shown to reduce fast blood glucose, post meal blood glucose, and HgbA1C.  This study was down with metformin.  Vitamin C was used with metformin in those with type II DM.  This supports the use of vitamin C in blood sugar control.  Vitamin C does not increase blood glucose levels.

Studies like this surprise me. This study lauds the benefit of metformin as a breast cancer protective in postmenopuasal womb.  Their focus is on the bandaid--the prescription drug.  They completely ignore the cause--glucose.  The Warburg effect in cancer is well known.  Limit simple sugar intake and support oxidative phosphorylation will do the same.  That is treating the cause.

Fructose intake associate with increased fasting blood sugar, elevated triglycerides, and elevated systolic blood pressure--all parameters of metabolic syndrome.

Rat study finds intermittent fasting aids weight loss, improves insulin resistance, leptin signaling and blunts the effects of a high-fat (trans), high fructose, and high sugar diet.

pre-diabetes increases risk of neurodegenerative diseases ie. dementia, Alzheimers...

Nigella sativa, spice, shown to improve blood sugar control in Type II Diabetes

fructose intake equals fat storage

New prospective study of 1023 patients finds that high-insulogenic diet, also know as a traditional American diet, high glycemic, high sugar diet... is associated with an increased risk of cancer recurrence and mortality compared to low insulogenic diet.  The authors concluded that this would be beneficial for after surgical resection in people with stage III colon cancer. My question, is why wait on the development of cancer: use a low-insulogenic diet to prevent the cancer all together or when diagnosed implement immediately.  Why wait? Treat early! Prevent!

Branched-chain amino acids play role in cancer. Sugar is not the only player and glutamine is not the only amino acid involved.
