I’ll never understand why someone would endure chemo rather than simply stop eating sugar. I’ve been inside a “Cancer Center” that had an Icee machine in it. It contained your regular variety of Cherry and Coke Icee. I mean really people? You encourage cancer patients to eat sugar?

I actually did ask a doctor that very question. He said (in that “I’m better than you” doctor way) the chemo patients like something cold and sweet because everything else tastes bad. My disgust at the irony was evident on my face. Doctors are now salespeople for the drug companies - plain and simple. Doctors now treat - not heal.

Tasmanians Devils get cancer - they don't eat sugar. If not eating sugar was a cure for cancer - why do so many Tasmanian Devils die of cancer?

wow! I can appreciate they want some thing cold and sweet, but I’m with you, flavored syrup over ice is not even close to best option for folks battling cancer. Makes me sad doctors or nutritonists don’t suggest blended fruits - even though it’s still a form of sugar it’s at least got nutrients and not so harsh to the body.
