    Superb 'New York Times' article...'Is Sugar Toxic?'

    Especially interesting is sugar's link to not only diabetes, metabolic syndrome/insulin resistance, but also heart disease and cancer.

    http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/17/ma...ewanted=1&_r=1

    Excerpt below...

    Cancer researchers now consider that the problem with insulin resistance is that it leads us to secrete more insulin, and insulin (as well as a related hormone known as insulin-like growth factor) actually promotes tumor growth.

    As it was explained to me by Craig Thompson, who has done much of this research and is now president of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, the cells of many human cancers come to depend on insulin to provide the fuel (blood sugar) and materials they need to grow and multiply. Insulin and insulin-like growth factor (and related growth factors) also provide the signal, in effect, to do it. The more insulin, the better they do. Some cancers develop mutations that serve the purpose of increasing the influence of insulin on the cell; others take advantage of the elevated insulin levels that are common to metabolic syndrome, obesity and type 2 diabetes. Some do both. Thompson believes that many pre-cancerous cells would never acquire the mutations that turn them into malignant tumors if they weren’t being driven by insulin to take up more and more blood sugar and metabolize it.


    Hopefully, one day the mainstream medical community will recognize the benefits of the ketogenic diet not only for weight loss, but for overall health as well.

    Sugar tastes too good for people to giveup.
    Think of it like this my friend, those people will die faster and leave more food for us.

    I posted this last week as well. As for the mainstream accepting this, I don't see it in my lifetime unfortunately.
