High carb diets again linked to increased risk of breast cancer

Posted on 13 July 2009

Previously on this site (for example seehere) I have written about the role that certain carbohydrate foods appear to have in the development of breast cancer. Foods that are disruptive to blood sugar (high glycaemic index) foods have been implicated here. Also when high GI foods are eaten in quantity, they tend to have what is known as high

    You certainly won’t find any of this information on the breast cancer info infact they almost frown at a low carb diet and i have heard one cancer expert say that no food can give you cancer! and no vitamin, mineral or food can cure it only chemo therapy will cure cancer. I absolutely dispair for women unfortunate enough to have to put up with this unenlightened bull from so called experts. For all those poor women given no choice but chemo or radiation after surgery there are other alternatives only your doctor isn’t allowed to tell you but most don’t even give you enough time to look at or discuss anything else before they chop and burn – they do have a lot to answer for and no real out comes worth a damn as support for their outrageous claims! I can’t stand that patronising attitude they get when anyone even suggests there may be alternatives and there are many in fact that actually work by building the strength of the body at a cellular level maybe health not wealth should be their priority.

    I understand cancer cells are principally fuelled by glucose so this is not really surprising. Probably by keeping the glucose levels down you are at worst preventing the cancer from proliferating so rapidly and at best giving your immune system a better chance of blatting runaway cells before they get to form a tumour

    Thank you very much for your words of advice. I shall suggest the same to my aunt who recently got diagnosed with breast cancer.
