Anti Cancer
'There is a good reason to believe the sugar boom contributes to the cancer epidemic, as it is linked to an explosion of insulin and IGF (insulin-like growth factor) in our bodies. Mice inoculated with breast cancer cells have been used to compare the effect on tumour growth of different foods with varying blood sugar levels. After two and a half months, two-thirds (sixteen) of the twenty-four mice whose blood sugar peaked frequently were dead, compared to only one of the twenty that had been on a low glycemic-index diet.
Obviously this experiment could never be carried out in humans. But a study comparing Asian with Western population suggests the same thing. Those who eat low-sugar Asian diets tend to have five to ten times fewer hormonally-driven cancers than those with diets high in sugar and refined foods which are typical in most industrial nations.'
