I just watched a video at www.youtube.com by Dr. David Getoff about the link between sugar and cancer. Sugar feeds the cancer cells, and obviously chemicals in our foods and products contribute to cancer.
Getoff also mentions that our bodies need "good fats" to be healthy, which I have discussed, along with sugar, in a prior blog (Controversy About Carbs, December 2011).
Type in "Cancer: Doctor's lack of knowledge can shorten your life" if you want to watch this video by Dr. Getoff on YouTube.
Mercola recommends under 25 grams of sugar (fructose--preferably sucrose in fruit) a day to avoid "chronically raising blood glucose." For those who like the seasonal Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte, there are 48 grams of sugar in one 16oz grande sized cup.
