18. Do Cancer Cells Feed Off of Sugar?
YES
Cancer cells have insulin receptor sites just like our healthy cells, only they have more…so the first
cells that get fed are the cancer cells!
Cancer cells uptake sugar at 10-12 times the rate of healthy cells.
Sugar simultaneously suppresses the immune system, needed to destroy cancer cells
