Anticancer Tip #2

Avoid high glycemic index foods. Mostly this means no sugar, white bread, white rice, and white potatoes. These can be replaced with agave nectar, white grain bread, basmati or brown rice, and sweet potatoes/yams respectively. Recent studies suggest that cancerous tumors feed on high blood sugar levels, such as those seen in people with diabetes. More on this topic can be found in, Anticancer: A New Way Of Life by Dr. David Servan-Schreider MD, PHD.

Studies such as these are few and far between. Research for cancer is predominantly driven by sales of pharmaceuticals and medical technology. Youcan’t patent sweet potatoes, so there is little financial incentive to

research them.

Please consider donating by pledging money to Dr. Schafer’s first marathon run, held on October 16th. All money will be forwarded to the Anticancer Fund, to ensure more studies like this will be done.
