Sugar feeds cancer

Exactly. Honey, apples, and more have been mentioned here. Sorghum is another that should satisfy the human sweet tooth and did for a long time. I'll guess the young ones never heard of sorghum. Nothing compares to cane sugar. The sugar. It's much sweeter /satisfying. I'll compare the difference to pain meds. How many have been addicted to aspirin? How many have been addicted to hydrocodone? Once a dog gets a taste of table scraps they leave their healthy cereal lay until they are very hungry. We'll have whatever we want whenever we want. That is all the time and usually something containing cane sugar. I really like Crown Royal. Found I couldn't keep the bottle in the fridge. The bottle cap would stick due to the sugar. I have to mention a candy bar from Reeses called Outrageous. It certainly is. Great with a bowl of ice cream too. A country that provides free health care to all would probably ban the thing. In this country a store called Five and below can't keep them stocked.
No you don't. The body can convert protein to carbs. If that was not true those that live in the arctic would have died off generations ago. They never saw anything but whale and seal meat and fat for generations. The myth about needing carbs just won't die.
My wife's health and blood results have turned from one step away from liver failure/transplant to a perfectly normal liver and her ankylosing spondylitis from inflammation is virtually gone after dropping daily carb intake to less than 10g per day and increasing protein and fats. My vitiman D and testosterone levels are from almost unmeasurable to normal in less than 8 months. The positive changes in you body from eliminating carbs is absolutely insane. Your mileage may vary. We have used a continuous glucose monitor over the last year to understand what we ate that cranked up insulin. You can so feel what a sugar load does to you after you have eliminated it from your diet for months, and it is not a good feeling.
Read up on the "Glycemic Index" to understand how carbs are converted to Glucose (what the brain needs). All carbs are not created equal. The ease at which they are converted to glucose is the problem. Fat, protein, acids and especially fibre all impact the rate at which foods are converted to glucose as well.....Understanding these principles will help avoid the insulin spikes that promote type two diabetes as we get older.
Good Luck

The brain runs great on keytones as well which get generated with intermittent fasting as well. The dirty secret as well is as you age the brain _needs_ cholesterol to transport nutrients to the brain which gets inhibited by statins that are prescribed without any testing to understand if you _need_ to lower you cholesterol because of plaque in the arteries. If there is little plaque statins are useless now increasing the risk for dementia and Alzheimers.
And get a continuous glucose monitor now they can be had without a prescription and bought off Amazon as some of the things that "don't increase you glucose" drove my wife's glucose through the roof. Everyone is different and you need to test and use real data for you decisions.
Thanks for the information. I'm a type 2 diabetic but since I'm not on insulin the my insurance wouldn't pay for it, I'll get one off Amazon. Like you said, everyone is different. Certain medications can raise your glucose levels too.

The Inuits had a lower life expectancy mostly because of their diet before joining modern civilization. The traditional diet was almost exclusively protein, but it should be pointed out that most everything was eaten raw, especially the organs which contain small amounts of vitamin C. Cooking meat destroys what little trace mounts of vitamin C there is to avoid scurvy.

Sure, this is the result after years of damage from a high carbohydrate (mostly simple carbohydrates rather than complex) type diet. The cells have become insulin resistant.

isn't fat a complex carb.
Complex carbohydrates are whole grains, leafy vegetables, legumes, fruits...............they contain the much talked about dietary fiber. They typically digest slowly and don't overwhelm the system like simple carbs do.
