Rather than debate it all over again to protect the innocent, I'll just
say this this time: hundreds of medical studies and websites say that
statement is absolutely false, on several levels. So if anyone is
tempted to try it, please do your own research ... and definitely NOT on
low-carb websites or in low-carb books.
Now for a reality check on the relevant part of the first part of that
paragraph. Yes, I work out ... HARD ... twice a week and not as hard
another 3-4 days a week, and I eat an exceptional diet (although too
much of it because it's SO damned delicious). But unlike a low-carb
diet, those habits actually INCREASE our life spans and our physical and
mental function.

Research supports the well known fact that your body requires glucose
to function, if you have excess glucose available eat high sugar
foods, processed type foods the cancer could grow - even rapidly -
since there is a abundance of food supply. It is recommended to eat
just enough to maintain your daily functioning.
I dont care much for the fad diets - Protien, Low and High
Carbohydrate, etc. . Calorie Restriction Diets have shown success in
fighting cancer, heart disease and diabetes. I have talked to and read
about people that have PCa and are following the CR diet and they
believe that there is a major connection between sugar-glucose/
cancer. Their theory is your organs and systems need energy to
function and they have first dibs on the sugar/glucose - the cancer
gets what is left over - if there is not much left over the cancer
cant grow or survive. It has no food. The CR Diet also reportedly can
extend life span. You go on a CR Diet and the odds are high you will
no be visiting a doctor for any of the above but may for bone and
malnourishment related problems. These CR Diets should really be
called starvation diets and are very difficult to near impossible to
follow in US with the availability of all of our food choices. You
will find the glucose/cancer connection on the CR internet sites also.
This is a growing area of research.
Best advice is to eat healthy, exercise, reduce stress and take care
of yourself. Do your own research.
I once weighed 215 got down to 175 and now I am 184. I went for a
blood test in December and my cholosterol came back at 210. Right away
my Doc wanted to put me on simvistatin at age 51. I emailed a CR
professional and he told me to get down to 170 and I wouldnt have to
worry about cholesterol. My family members were calling me an AIDS
Victim when I weighed 175 and always trying to feed me extra food. I
felt great at this weight but cant imagine going down to 170.
