Over the years you've probably chosen to ignore the fact that sugar is bad for your overall health. Alternative medicine prostate cancer takes a holistic view that your overall health problems due to sugar, which you may have ignored, has exploded into a prostate cancer tumor. The sugar prostate cancer link chain of events. Sugar depletes the zinc that our organs and glands (including prostate) requires. It increases insulin levels promoting prostate cancer and then creates an acidic environment for the prostate cancer cells to thrive. The lack of zinc also compromises our immunity system. The sugar then contributes to the creation of a protective film around the prostate cancer cells that our weakened immune system cannot detect or attack. The sugar prostate cancer link also affects our calcium levels. Our body natural state is alkaline. Because sugar is acidic, calcium is leeched from our bones to neutralize it. It is alarming the amount of sugar that we are consuming. Refined sugar, like refined flour, is a by-product of Western civilization. It's an unnatural diet, so it's completely unnecessary to our diet. Most breakfast cereals contain sugar - a bowl of muesli may contain the equivalent of two tablespoons of sugar. Soft drinks have a high sugar content - Coca Cola and Lucozade contain the equivalent of seven teaspoons of sugar per 200 ml glass! Refined sugar, is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream. A rapid rise in blood sugar levels occurs. Your pancreas, to counter the rapid rise in blood sugar levels, starts to boost the production of insulin. Too much insulin is believed to promote prostate cancer. This is why diabetics are prone to cancer. Prostate cancer is linked to obesity. Reducing refined sugar intake reduces obesity. Dr. Otto Warburg, the Nobel Prize winner specifically stated that sugar is prime cause of cancer. I quote him as it is quite useful: " Almost anything can cause cancer but, even for cancer, there is only one primal cause. Summarized in a few words, the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal cells by a fermentation of sugar " Not only have sugars have been shown to feed cancer cells, but may possibly contribute to the formation of the protective coating that envelopes cancer cells, preventing your white blood cells from detecting and destroying them. Additionally refined sugar has no nutritional value - it has been striped of its mineral nutrients and vitamins. Most alternative treatments cancer, state that too much refined sugar causes an over acidic condition. In the sugar prostate cancer link, to compensate for the acidity, the body depletes its stored minerals and vitamins leading to malnutrition. For example, drinking a soft drink will cause your immune system to be vulnerable for a period of 4 hours. The availability of infection and cancer fighting white blood cells drops about 90 per cent for that period. While not directly addressing the sugar prostate cancer link, Eastern medicine recommend no sweets for anyone with cancer, e.g. Traditional , state that " sweet flavor " foods may contribute to cancer because they are " moistening and promote dampness and 'thaam' or mucous " . Tibetan medicine also warns against sweet white foods during cancer. Sugar Prostate Cancer link: zinc depletion. Most prostate problems are due to a lack of zinc. The old Casanova tale of eating oysters for its aphrodisiac properties somehow rings true as oysters are loaded with zinc. Traditionally, our normal food sources such as meat, poultry, legumes, beans and leafy green vegetables contained ample supply of zinc. However commercial farming methods have resulted in lower zinc content in our food. This problem, in the sugar prostate cancer link, is further compounded by our huge intake of refined sugar which depletes zinc from our body. Zinc is the vital protector of our immune system. Low zinc levels result in a definite decrease in the number of circulating T-lymphocytes, which fight infection and cancer cells. People over 70's generally have lower levels of zinc, resulting in more infections because the immune system is weaker. THE mineral zinc plays a pivotal role in DNA synthesis, which decides our genetic make-up. It is extensively distributed in the body and is part of the structure of more than 200 enzymes. Hence, any deficiency in zinc may result in the impairment of many metabolic functions and, thus, lead to disease and ill-health. A 1961 study, by Prasad et al, on Iranian adolescent boys identified zinc deficiency as the main cause of dwarfism, diminished function of the sex glands and poor immune function. In 1998, at a conference titled " Zinc: What Role Might Supplements Play? " , the National Institutes of Health presented evidence that zinc deficiency is one of the more common nutritional deficiencies suffered by humans. So breaking the sugar prostate cancer link increases zinc levels for overall prostate health. Doesn't the body need sugar? Yes it does. But not in the form of refined unnatural sugars such as glucose, dextrose and sucrose. We get sufficient sugar in our daily food products such as fresh fruits and vegetables. These sugars are not refined sugars, but usually complex carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates requires your body to work at extracting the sugars that it needs. You therefore do not get the spike in blood sugar levels that will leave you with increased insulin levels. The sugar prostate cancer link is therefore broken. You know your body has too much sugar when there are crusts in your eyes in the morning. Your body is doing its best to excrete the excess sugar. Breaking the sugar prostate cancer link. Cut out all processed food e.g. candy, biscuits, white bread, soft drinks. Only natural foods do not have refined sugar. Read the labels carefully. Other names for refined sugar are glucose, sucrose, maltose, lactose, corn syrup and white grape. When in doubt write to the manufacturer and compare the reply to the nutrition guide here. Chew a raw carrot slowly for occasional low sugar levels. Raw carrots are difficult to digest. Your body will therefore get a controlled extraction of natural sugars. Raw carrots helps your digestive system to expel the excess xenoestrogens in your digestive system. Following the above nutrition guide to a sugar buster diet diligently requires some discipline. Your taste buds will adjust quickly and your prostate will love you for it. Do not under any circumstances use artificial sweeteners such as aspartame (NutraSweet). Its even worse than refined sugars. When the temperature of aspartame exceeds 86 degrees Fahrenheit, it converts to formaldehyde! This may actually be worth than the sugar prostate cancer link as not only is your nervous system affected, but it may also brain cancer and brain lymphomas! If you really need a sweetener use Stevia, a herbal sweetener which actually helps regulate blood sugar levels. Its full name is Stevia Rebaudiana, a small plant native to Paraguay and Brazil. Discovered in 1887 by a South American scientist named Antonio Bertoni, Stevia was known locally as Caa'-ehe or Kaa'-he-e which means " sweet herb " or " honey leaf " . Stevia has been found to be 100 - 300 times sweeter than refined sugar, so you only need a small amount in your cooking. The sugar prostate cancer link - break it now. _________________ JoAnn Guest mrsjo- www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest/Diets AIM Barleygreen " Wisdom of the Past, Food of the Future " http://www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest/Diets.html Music Unlimited - Access over 1 million songs.
