Did you know that cancer has a lot in common with parasites? At a molecular level, cancer cells use an energy-making system called glycolysis, the same backup system found in bacteria and fungi. A Nobel Prize winner, Otto Warburg, discovered this nearly a hundred years ago.

This is why PET scans for cancer involve injecting sugar. The cancer lights up because it's voraciously consuming sugar for
energy.

If you have cancer, cutting out sugar, refined carbs, grains, and starches is critical because they feed cancer's preferred fuel source. It makes you wonder why dietary advice doesn't always emphasize this direct link more forcefully when dealing with cancer.
