Dr. S-S seems to make a logical argument that the refined sugar/fructose boom has contributed to the cancer epidemic because, among other things, it causes a toxic explosion of insulin and IGF (insulin-like growth factor)in our bodies.
Of course he quotes numerous studies in support of his position and points out that nearly 60% of the calories in the 'Western Diet' come from refined food sources that were nonexistent when our genes developed.
Similar to your situation, I was Ensure dependent for almost two year during my first bout with a cancerous condition (twenty-five year ago).
Perhaps after that bout, if I had become more 'vegan' instead of returning to a traditional western diet???
