Do Cancer Cells Feed Off of Sugar?

YES

Cancer cells have insulin receptor sites just like our healthy cells, only they have more…so the first

cells that get fed are the cancer cells!

Cancer cells uptake sugar at 10-12 times the rate of healthy cells.

Sugar simultaneously suppresses the immune system, needed to destroy cancer cells



Eating sugar has the potential to REDUCE YOUR BODY'S DEFENSES BY 75% OR MORE FOR 4-6 HOURS

• At blood sugar level of 120, white blood cell’s ability to destroy viruses and bacteria is reduced by 75%

• High sugar foods typically low in nutrients

Sugar Suppresses the Immune System



• 80% of packaged grocery store items have added sugar

• On the nutrition facts label, the # of sugar grams includes both added & natural sugars

• Look at ingredient list

• Calculate teaspoons of sugar! Grams / 4 = tsp.

Maximum 6 tsp. per day for women, 9 tsp. men
