Sugar feeds cancer and if you have it, eliminating it is even advised by doctors. Sugar is also in the top 5 foods causing inflammation in the body.

Thank. I usually do not eat until tank is needing energy to function, often after many hours when active, and I seem to have low blood sugar, and while I eat protein and greens daily, sweet food supplies energy. Arthritis is an issue though, esp. with after must exercise.

Also,
Sugar seems to be a major source of anxiety and fear for people with cancer. There is a myth circulating that sugar feeds cancer and that avoiding sugar will prevent the growth of cancer. To set things straight…sugar does not cause cancer on its own. Giving sugar to cancer cells does not make them grow faster and depriving cancer cells of sugar does not make them grow more slowly. However, sugar may be indirectly involved in the development of cancer.
How it happens
Much research shows that it is sugar’s relationship to overweight and obesity that may influence cancer cell growth the most. Sugar is a major source of extra calories, which can contribute to weight gain and obesity, but it’s not just sugar. Too many calories from any source - carbohydrate, fat and even protein – can lead to weight gain. - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/cancer-education-center/newsfeed-post/sugars-role-in-cancer-1/
One of the ways excess weight can lead to cancer is through insulin resistance and insulin-like growth factors in the blood. Both excess weight and lack of physical activity can lead to an increased risk of insulin resistance. Although insulin resistance can also be hereditary, it usually happens when the overweight body can no longer make enough insulin to remove sugar from the blood. Exercise also helps remove sugar from the blood. - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/cancer-education-center/newsfeed-post/sugars-role-in-cancer-1/
