The big issue is that cancer isn't one disease. Some cancers can be helped along by excess consumption of sugar but most don't care. Some colon cancers have certain preservatives as a risk factor but most don't care. Some cancers have a lessened risk either diet and exercise but not all of them.

The real issue is this guy pretending to be a doctor and pretending that taking sugar out of your diet is a sure way to cure cancer and yadda yadda.

Over Simplification to the degree he is doing is harmful. Cancer is complicated and that shouldn't be hidden from the public.

I dooded it and it worked.

so u didnt have cancer, stopped eating sugar, and still didnt have cancer?

or you had cancer, stopped eating sugar, and your cancer was cured?

How about a derogatory retort for both.
Then we can pick the one that sounds best.

to be fair i didnt actually expect you to back up your claim, so thanks.

will taking sugar out of the diet ever be detrimental to a cancer patient?

Quote (thesnipa @ Sep 30 2022 08:10pm)

I tend to think not, but with a lot of context. sugar isn't just refined sugar, its in all kinds of food. many of those foods contain a lot more beneficial vitamins and things than the detrimental sugar.

take them off all fruit, take them off many kinds of other foods, and make sure they're getting the vitamins elsewhere. just dont expect it to cure their cancer.

I literally work in Oncology research. There is nothing a YouTube video can teach me. Oh and he's not a doctor. He's a chiropractor, which is not an evidence based branch of medicine.


Okay so watched it and all I can say is yikes.

Not all cancers are warberg like.

Cancers are not caused by mitochondrial damage. That's actually the easiest way to trigger apoptosis and stop a cell from proliferating.

Human cells do not do fermentation, we do anaerobic respiration to make lactic acid.

Your body keeps blood sugar circulating or you die. It is literally impossible to starve a cancer of sugar.

Ketone are primarily emergency energy and not used to build membranes. Cancer cells also use fatty acids to build membranes.


This guy is very very misinformed and that's not surprising since, again, he's not from a profession that values evidence.

You exactly know what kind of sugar is meant. Refined sugar added to stuff extra. Eating an apple as a whole and lots of fruits has never been a problem. Making juices out of them then enhancing by refined sugar is a big problem. An average apple has got 50kcal. TO eat 5000kcal, you'd need to eat 100 of them. Show me a fatso who could do that. Do you know how much kcal a single coca cola bottle has? 420kcal per liter! Drinking 2-4 liter instead of water is easy peasy compared to the amount of apples.
