[[Basically that article says that cancer cells run on various carbohydrates.]]

Do they run on it (as in they can not run if they aren’t exposed to it) or do they simply have an increased ability to multiply? and if so, what %?

I’m a % guy- 1-2-3 % not a worry to me- 10-15% Starting to become a little worrying, but not enough for me to change- 20-40% Yeah- I take it seriously

I don’t need a zero % in order to feel safe- (or safer I should say) I’ve aslready lived 12 years past the average lifespan of folks decades ago- when the average age was quite young- so anything from here on out is a bonus in my book, and I’ve determined I am not going to be hard-lined reckless, but I’m also not going to give up the last pleasures I have (Sugar- Pepsi) just to gain a 1-15% or so increased change of surviving cancer- Some might disagree with me, but that’s fine- I’ve made my mind up I’m going to enjoy life a bit while I have it, and when it ends, my fault or not, I’ll have lived enjoying it a little more than I would have by giving up sugar and feeling just as crappy as I do now and having to actually live a few more years of feeling crappy with No enjoyment of sugar thrown in to boot-

bottom lien for me I guess is 1-15% or so Meh- I’ll roll the dice- 20-40% or more- I’ll give it an effort- Begrudgingly

If you’ve made it this far with no cancer, I wouldn’t worry. One sugary soda a day probaly isn’t enough to make any difference.

I don’t think there are percentages for getting cancer (never seen any). The studies are looking at the operations of cancer cells and comparing them to the operations of normal cells. All cancer cells have abnormally high levels of sugar in them. What I’ve read is that cancer cells are fueled by glucose and normal cells are fueled by glucose, ketones, or fat.

Does keeping a low carb diet keep people from getting cancer? I think the answer is it’s possible. Some of these researchers are convinced of it since they’re changed their diet to low carb.
