Some people, as a precaution, stop eating all sugar and starchy foods, because sugars are thought to feed tumors. Can’t hurt, might help.

I've heard the pros and cons of avoiding sugar and starch. The jury is out with me, although I'm convinced you can be harmed more BY sugar consumption than a lack of it.

Sugar is in everything we eat. Our bodies need sugar to function. Plus, a lot of very healthy foods contain high levels of sugar, like many fruits and some veggies.
