Should sugar be eliminated from diet in a cancer patient?

If I can be of any help to you please let me know. Any questions I may be able to help with & the like. It’s grueling for sure but you will get through it. Prayers your way. 🙏🙏

The problem with this reasoning, according to all of my mother's and husband's oncologists (including those at Mayo Clinic) is that all food turns to glucose in the blood for the body to use it. This is true, whether the food is sugar, a different carb, a protein food or a fat. All of the oncologists said that avoiding sugar does not slow the growth of cancer any more than avoiding other food. The reason it shows up on the PET scan, according the oncologists, is that the tumor has the fastest metabolic rate in the body, and as such it uses the blood glucose fastest.

I see some really excellent and well-informed comments here. I also see other perspectives. I think the best idea is to ask your oncologist.

True- the thing is even oncologists disagree. I guess we will all have to agree to disagree on this subject.

Thank you.

Not sure if you are interested in this or not, but look what the University of Michigan published in 2022. "Researchers found in cells and in mice that a low-protein diet blocked the nutrient signaling pathway that fires up a master regulator of cancer growth." I don't agree to disagree because I am not knowledgeable enough to disagree. That is why I would recommend asking the oncologist if there are a variety of thoughts on the subject.

I have spoken to my oncologists who have been very helpful in helping me fight my rare type of aggressive cancer. A cancer that affects less than 5% of the population. I’ve also spoken to a variety of other specialists who have also been very helpful. One thing I know is that cancer is a very personal and serious battle that the individual chooses to fight in their own way and that is their right considering they are the ones going through it vs someone who has spoken to doctors and is not personally battling it.

I am very sorry that my comments seem to have offended you. I think I must not have expressed myself very well because I was truly trying to be helpful. I am also very sorry that you are battling cancer and I wish you well.

I would also like to explain why I am in here trying to help when I am not the patient. I hope you don't mind. I have come to every single appointment with the two people closest to me. I have learned a lot by doing that and just hope to help others. I try to do it to honor those two people because they are unable to come on here and try to help.

I am sorry to hear about your loved ones.

Absolutely and u should also try to stick with alkaline water!!!
