Cancer Glucose Connection
Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have discovered the cancer glucose connection. Restricting consumption of glucose, the most common dietary sugar, can extend the life of healthy human-lung cells and speed the death of precancerous human-lung cells, reducing cancer’s spread and growth rate.
The UAB team conducted its tests by growing both healthy human-lung cells and precancerous human-lung cells in laboratory flasks. The flasks were provided either normal levels of glucose or significantly reduced amounts of the sugar compound, and the cells then were allowed to grow for a period of weeks.
“In that time, we were able to track the cells’ ability to divide while also monitoring the number of surviving cells. The pattern that was revealed to us showed that restricted glucose levels led the healthy cells to grow longer than is typical and caused the precancerous cells to die off in large numbers,” Tollefsbol said. Dr. Tollefsbol’s research is primarily with cancer and aging epigenetics, the underlying mechanisms of cancer, aging and therapeutic approaches to cancer.
Hello Anyone There
Sugar depresses the immune system.
We have known this for decades. Glucose and vitamin C have similar chemical structures, when the sugar level goes up vitamin C has to compete. The more glucose the less vitamin C allowed to enter the cell. This slows down the immune systems. Sugar depletes vitamin, minerals, and enzymes.
The reason not to wait for research, they are light years behind holistic practitioners. For years these holistic researches have been saying that sugar is the food of malignant tumors. While the medical community said it doesn’t matter what you eat.
A Theory
A German biochemist, Dr. Otto Warburg discovered the cause of cancer back in 1923 and he received the 1931 Nobel Prize for doing so. In his book, The Metabolism of Tumors, Dr. Warburg demonstrated that the primary cause of cancer was (is) the replacement of oxygen in the respiratory chemistry of normal cells by the fermentation of sugar. The growth of cancer cells is a fermentation process which can be initiated only in the relative absence of oxygen.
Up to now the medical profession disregarded this theory. It is the basis of many alternative treatments. This is a theory that completely disregarded by the medical profession. IV’s consists of glucose and is used quite often as a source of calories for those that suffer from this condition.
Medical Practice
Simply said doctors are not the best at understanding what health is. Our perverse system of medicine rewards this. Americans swallow more pills, undergo more scans, and summit to more procedures without any understanding of the risks when they submit to treatments.
The high costs of doctor visits, and tests is in what they miss; the cause of diseases. They look at family history to try to guess what you will likely come down with. What they really need is a list of the foods, drinks, and habits that were passed down through the generations. Finally, what is it that caused the problems. The cancer glucose connection is now being validated by scientific studies.
Carnage
Tollefsbol’s research team included Yuanyuan Li, Ph.D., M.D., a UAB biology research associate, and Liang Liu, Ph.D., a UAB assistant professor of medicine.
The group’s study titled “Glucose Restriction Can Extend Normal Cell Lifespan and Impair Precancerous Cell Growth Through Epigenetic Control of hTERT and p16 Expression” has been published in the online edition of The Journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, or FASEB Journal.
The research was funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health and the Glenn Foundation for Medical Research
There is a very good reason that the war on cancer hasn’t produced the results that everyone expected. There is no quick fix, or magic bullet. It is fiction that you let someone bombard you with every known chemical, and expect super health.
Between the food industry and pharmaceutical companies we have become anesthetized to the carnage that these industries are causing. The main attraction to this approach, responsibility is in someone else’s hands, and a promise of instant help.
