Cancer, Part 2: the barnyard is happy

June 13, 2017 by Denise Leave a Comment

Sugar    We’ve talked about sugar and cancer, and while it seems nearly impossible to eliminate all glucose from our blood stream to “starve” the cancer, we don’t want to give it any extra fuel either.

Cancer and Sugar: A Cautionary Tale

April 12, 2017 by Denise Leave a Comment

There is a new diet in town, the MIND diet, and it promises to keep our brains sharp and healthy throughout our old age. Surprisingly it may actually deliver on that promise. Despite what commercials and headlines scream at us every day, there are only three diets that have been proven time and again, in […]
