One part in particular caught my eye. This information comes from Lise Alschuler, ND, director of naturopathic medicine at the Cancer Treatment center in Zion, IL.
Does sugar cause cancer?? Sugar doesn't directly feed the cancer cells but causes high levels of blood sugar. High levels of blood sugar or glucose eventually result in insulin resistance. This condition not only promotes inflammation but also aids in the development of cancer. Here is what I found shocking:
It is time to get the sugar and refined carbs out of our diets. This will make you think twice about eating sugar laden treats. And what about our children? I want to see better eating habits in my children and grandchildren. How about you?"Cancer cells are studded with insulin receptors. As a result, cancerous cells accept insulin more readily than healthy ones and the insulin stimulates division of cancer cells."

Just read your blog for the first time. Congratulations to both of you! I am just starting another weight loss journey. Low carb this time, and I am certain this is the one that will work for me.
Thanks, Amy! Glad you found us! We still have a lot of developemnt to do to get this blog going. Your encouragement is so appreciated!
Hi, found your blog via Jimmy Moore's Livin La Vida Lo Carb Blog. Your experience (lost lots of weight on Atkins, but was bullied into stopping by well-meaning, but misinformed medical professionals), now back on low carb and finding it much harder after passing 40-something.
I really enjoy reading your posts, so I'll certainly be checking back with your blog.
I meant to say your experience is almost the same as mine. :-)
I tagged you today in a game of Blog-Tag!
