       Cancer’s Favorite Ingredient

       The average American eats 70 grams of fructose per day — a
       number triple the recommended daily limit.
       A study published last summer in Cancer Research shows that
       fructose is even more of a nutritional villain than previously
       suspected. More than any other kind of sugar, it appears to
       trigger cancer cells to divide and proliferate.
       Researchers at the University of California–Los Angeles
       extracted pancreatic tumor cells from patients and grew the
       cells in petri dishes. They added glucose (another simple sugar
       long known to fuel the growth of cancer cells) to one dish and
       fructose to the other. The cancer cells used both glucose and
       fructose as fuel, but the fructose also activated the cellular
       pathway that drives cell division while triggering cellular
       activities that helped cancer cells  rapidly metabolize both
       fructose and glucose.
       The main source of fructose in the North American diet is
       high-fructose corn syrup and other refined sweeteners, such as
       sucrose, dextrose and maltose. U.S. consumption of high-fructose
       corn syrup alone shot up 1,000 percent between 1970 and 1990.
       >:(
       Today, the average American eats 70 grams of fructose per day —
       a number triple the recommended daily limit.
       7 Tricks to Tame Your Sweet Tooth
       The best way to limit fructose intake is to greatly reduce or
       eliminate processed foods and sweetened beverages from your
       diet. But you can further limit your total fructose intake by
       choosing fruits — like berries and stone fruits — that have
       lower fructose concentrations, and going easy on fruit juices
       and dried fruits, which deliver a lot of fructose per serving.
       Osteopathic physician and New York Times best-selling author
       Joseph Mercola, MD, suggests no more than 20 grams of fructose
       per day, with no more than 15 grams coming from fruit.
       Next: Which fruit has the most fructose?
       The Fructose in Fruit
       Fruits are good sources of nutrients and fiber, but some contain
       a significant payload of fructose, too. Here’s a low-to-high
       listing of some commonly eaten fruits (grams of fructose in
       bold):
       Low
       Peaches — 1 cup, 154 g — 2.36 g
       Clementines — 2 fruits, 148 g — 2.42 g
       Raspberries — 1 cup, 123 g — 2.89 g
       Medium
       Pineapples — 1 cup, 165 g — 3.50 g
       Grapefruit — 1 cup, 230 g — 4.07 g
       High
       Bananas — 1 cup, 150 g — 7.28 g
       Apples — 1 cup, 125 g — 7.37 g
       Mangoes — 1 cup, 165 g — 7.72 g
       Pears — 1 fruit, 148 g — 9.22 g

       Flavonoids In Celery And Artichokes Kill Cancer Cells

       Vegetables like celery and artichokes have long been thought to
       convey numerous health benefits, and a new study from scientists
       at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign revealed that
       these foods have two chemical components, apigenin and luteolin,
       known as flavonoids that are capable of killing off cancer
       cells.
       “Apigenin alone induced cell death in two aggressive human
       pancreatic cancer cell lines. But we received the best results
       when we pre-treated cancer cells with apigenin for 24 hours,
       then applied the chemotherapeutic drug gemcitabine for 36
       hours,” said study author Elvira de Mejia, a U of I food
       chemistry and toxicology professor.
       The researchers found that using the two flavonoids as a
       pretreatment was more effective than applying them together with
       the chemotherapeutic drug simultaneously. In fact, applying both
       the drug and the flavonoids at the same time resulted in a
       highly undesirable effect.
       “Even though the topic is still controversial, our study
       indicated that taking antioxidant supplements on the same day as
       chemotherapeutic drugs may negate the effect of those drugs,”
       said Jodee Johnson, a U of I researcher who worked on the study
       as a doctoral student in de Mejia’s lab.
       “That happens because flavonoids can act as antioxidants,” she
       added. “One of the ways that chemotherapeutic drugs kill cells
       is based on their pro-oxidant activity, meaning that flavonoids
       and chemotherapeutic drugs may compete with each other when
       they’re introduced at the same time.”
       In the study, which was published in the journal Molecular
       Nutrition and Food Research, the Illinois researchers found that
       apigenin blocked an enzyme called glycogen synthase
       kinase-3β (GSK-3β), which led to a drop in the
       production of anti-apoptotic genes in the pancreatic cancer
       cells. These genes cause a cancer cell to self-destruct because
       its DNA has been damaged.
       In one cell line, the percentage of self-destructing cancer
       cells went from 8.4 percent in cells that had not been dosed
       with apigenin to almost 44 percent in cells that had been
       administered a 50-micromolar dose of the flavonoid. Chemotherapy
       drugs had not been used on either group of cells.
       The researchers also found that apigenin modified gene
       expression.
       “Certain genes associated with pro-inflammatory cytokines were
       highly upregulated,” de Mejia said.
       While pancreatic cancer patients would probably not be able to
       eat enough celery or artichokes to boost flavonoids in the blood
       to an effective level, drugs or supplements could be used to
       achieve the desired concentrations, according to de Mejia.
       The Illinois food scientist added that everyone should consider
       adding foods high in flavonoids to their regular diet.
       “If you eat a lot of fruits and vegetables throughout your life,
       you’ll have chronic exposure to these bioactive flavonoids,
       which would certainly help to reduce the risk of cancer,” she
       noted.

       Researchers have been looking into the anti-cancer properties of
       flavonoids for years. A study published in 2008 by UCLA
       researchers found that smokers who ate foods rich in certain
       flavonoids, including strawberries, brussel sprouts and apples,
       may reduce their lung cancer risk.

       One of Cancer's BEST FRIENDS: HIGH BLOOD SUGAR
       By: AGelbert Date: November 2, 2013, 3:56 pm

       One of Cancer's BEST FRIENDS: HIGH BLOOD SUGAR

       My fasting serum glucose is at 94. What's yours? Avoid SWEET
       MISERY; avoid refined sugar and eating large portions of white,
       refined simple carbs because they do a number on your blood
       sugar and do little to satisfy your appetite.
       More and more, modern medicine is realizing that cholesterol,
       fats and other lipids as well as salt are NOT the killers they
       were once thought to be. It now appears that those begin to
       deteriorate your health as a consequence of high blood sugar.
       [img width=640
       height=380]
  HTML http://www.olgakaczmar.com/SugarFeedsCancerSmall.jpg[/img]
       WHY? Because your body metabolizes all the above quite well
       UNTIL you have problems with inflammation. Then the cleansing
       activity loses efficiency.
       What's the killer sugar connection?
       1.   When there is more sugar in your blood stream than your
       cells need, the receptors "get used to FEAST" and make it harder
       to bind to them to make energy. Really badly blocked receptors
       is what diabetes is all about. When low blood sugar occurs
       (FAMINE), your body, used to FEAST, cannot get all the energy it
       needs from blocked receptors and you get lethargic in addition
       to inefficent handling of cholesterol, fats and immune function.
       2.    The extra sugar in your system, because sugar molecules
       have a jagged shape, cut capillary walls and start the
       inflammation vicious cycle (mast cells on the vessel walls
       release histones from sugar molecules bound to hemoglobin - red
       blood cells - banging against them). People who are chronically
       dehydrated because they hit the jar too much excacerbate the
       sugar molecule damage to capillary vessel walls giving all the
       above difficulties a boost.

       [quote]Blood sugar actually coats red blood cells
       (hemoglobin),[I] causing them to become stiff.[/I] These "sticky
       cells" interfere with blood circulation, causing cholesterol to
       build up on the inside of your blood vessels. It can take months
       to years for the damage to your body to appear. The fragile
       blood vessels in your eyes, kidneys and feet are most
       susceptible, so problems are usually noticed first in those
       areas.[/quote]

       3. Cancer cells ARE NOT concerned with keeping things

       So give up the donut love and daily boozing as well as large
       portions of blood sugar boosting simple carbohydrate foods like
       pretzels and beer. That is truly an unhealthy combination
       because (among several others pushed by our ignorant, hyper
       consumerist, instant gratification society as cultural icons -
       apple pie anyone?  :P ) you are dehydrating yourself while
       simultaneously jacking up your blood sugar. Too much refined
       white rice, potatoes, etc. are bad for you. Boozing every day is
       bad for you because it leads to a chronic dehydrated circulatory
       system.
       So why do we like all that stuff so much if it is "bad" for us?
       ??? Because we are energy seekers and our taste buds are
       designed to zero in on anything that has high sugar (or high in
       simple carbs that can be quickly converted to sugar). We were
       designed to operate in an environment where we could go long
       stretches ( a few days) without food as long as we could get
       water.
       Having FEAST conditions ALL THE TIME creates a feedback
       mechanism from our body to radically reduce our ability to
       process sugars because the body ASSUMES a "new normal" of no
       longer having to be as efficient at sucking up all the available
       energy around.
       Our biochemistry, being homeostatic, tries its best to balance
       this excess of energy [color=maroon]but ultimately fails from
       too much inflammation. The immune system gets more and more
       compromised and along comes one of those MUTATIONS the
       evolutionist true believers love so much to 'EVOLVE' us into a
       new and improved bunch of cancer tumors.  ???
       Yeah, I know people don't call that evolution because the
       mutations that cause cancer are NEGATIVE mutations, not
       "evolutionary advantages" (Unless you are a cancer!  ;D LOL!).
       But unfortunately for the evolutionist true believers, 98% of
       all mutations in nature, as observed by modern scientific
       inquiry over the last 50 years (at least) with detailed
       analysis, are DNA destructive mutations, not new super powers
       from natural selection.  ;)
       So, if you want to believe in evolution, have a ball. But don't
       plan on "evolving" out of destroying your immune system with
       high blood sugar any time soon.  [img width=80

       Curcumin and Cancer Prevention and Treatmrent
       By: AGelbert Date: March 2, 2014, 4:40 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
  HTML http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTGXuzlfdp4&feature=player_embedded
       [quote]By Dr. Mercola
       Cancer is one of the leading causes of death. What if there was
       a safe, natural herb that could work for nearly every type of
       cancer?
       According to Dr. William LaValley, who focuses most of his
       clinical work on the treatment of cancer, curcumin—a derivative
       of turmeric, and the pigment that gives the curry spice turmeric
       its yellow-orange color—may fit the bill. It's a natural
       compound that has been extensively researched, and has been
       found to have numerous health applications.
       Like me, Dr. LaValley was trained in general medicine, but he's
       devoted a considerable amount of time to understanding the
       biochemical pathways that can support health nutritionally.
       In 1982, he participated in an exchange program to the People's
       Republic of China, where he got first-hand experience with the
       ancient practices of traditional Chinese medicine and
       acupuncture.
       "One of the important messages that I learned there was that
       natural products, natural molecules, from plants and animals
       that are already available in nature, have been used by the
       Chinese for at least hundreds, probably thousands of years. That
       deeply changed my perspective in the world of medicine," he
       says.
       "I came back to medical school, and thereafter, looked at how I
       could integrate the perspective of conventional pharmaceutical
       administration as well as natural extract, natural product
       administration."
       Curcumin Has Potent Anti-Cancer Activity
       In 2005, he took a 75 percent sabbatical from clinical practice
       to immerse himself in the science of molecular biology,
       specifically the molecular biology of cancer. He also devoted
       approximately 9,000-9,500 hours building a relational database
       from the PubMed literature about the molecular biology of
       cancer.
       One important lesson he learned through that venture is that the
       understanding of molecular biology can be applied across a range
       of diseases and symptoms described in the scientific literature.
       That knowledge can be applied by searching PubMed and other
       related databases, looking at the relevant molecular pathways
       involved.
       "In learning the molecular biology of cancer pathways, and in
       learning that what the evidence actually shows for the effect of
       natural product extracts on various relevant molecular targets
       in various cancers,
       We see that there's actually quite a large amount of evidence
       that supports using various molecules, natural products, and
       pharmaceuticals that are already approved and that have been
       around for a long time to affect anti-cancer activity along that
       pathway at that target. That's called molecularly targeted
       anti-cancer treatment, and it's widely practiced in oncology
       today.
       What's not widely practiced is the use of the natural products
       for the molecularly targeted anti-cancer activity. I provide
       that for my patients because the evidence base suggests and
       supports the use of these treatment recommendations."
       Curcumin—A 'Universal' Cancer Treatment?
       Interestingly, curcumin appears to be universally useful for
       just about every type of cancer, which is really odd since
       cancer consists of a wide variety of different molecular
       pathologies. You wouldn't necessarily suspect that there would
       be one herb that would work for most of them. Dr. LaValley
       explains how he came to this conclusion:
       "I went back to the literature and looked at how I can support
       the decision-making process and the recommendations that I'm
       making for treatment from the scientific literature, including
       literature that goes from the treatment of humans with oral
       products like pharmaceuticals or natural products.
       This is where I learned about this molecule called curcumin, all
       the way down to its use in animals and then its use in test
       tubes or petri dish... One of the amazing things about curcumin
       is that this molecule has some profound anti-inflammatory
       activity and has activity in many molecular targets.
       There are molecules that are in the cells, and those molecules
       interact with each other along certain pathways or tracks. The
       traffic of that interaction, the signals that are transferred in
       that trafficking of information in the molecules, presents many
       different targets or molecular-specific complexes."
       As explained by Dr. LaValley, whether the curcumin molecule
       causes an increase in traffic or activity of a particular
       molecular target, or a decrease/inhibition of activity, studies
       repeatedly show that the end result is a potent anti-cancer
       activity. Furthermore, curcumin does not adversely affect
       healthy cells, suggesting it selectively targets cancer cells.
       Research has also shown that it works synergistically with
       certain chemotherapy drugs, enhancing the elimination of cancer
       cells.
       Curcumin Destroys Cancer in Multiple Ways
       Curcumin has the most evidence-based literature1 supporting its
       use against cancer of any nutrient, including vitamin D, which
       also has a robust base. Interestingly, this also includes the
       metabolite of curcumin and its derivatives, which are also
       anti-cancerous.
       Curcumin has the ability to modulate genetic activity and
       expression—both by destroying cancer cells and by promoting
       healthy cell function. It also promotes anti-angiogenesis,
       meaning it helps prevent the development of additional blood
       supply necessary for cancer cell growth. As for its effect on
       molecular pathways, curcumin can affect more than 100 of them,
       once it gets into the cell. More specifically, curcumin has been
       found to:
       Inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells  Decrease inflammation
       Inhibit the transformation of cells from normal to tumor
       Inhibit the synthesis of a protein thought to be instrumental in

       Why Whole Turmeric Is Ineffective
       Unfortunately, while there's some curcumin in whole turmeric,
       there's not enough in the regular spice to achieve clinically
       relevant results. The turmeric root itself contains only about
       three percent curcumin concentration. Another major limitation
       of curcumin as a therapeutic agent is that it is poorly
       absorbed. When taken in its raw form, you're only absorbing
       about one percent of the available curcumin.
       "The natural product industry has developed a standard of a
       95-percent concentration of curcumin," Dr. LaValleyexplains.
       "Initially, years ago, that was what we had available for
       patients. Even at that, taking a 95-percent concentration orally
       in a capsule, only one percent of that could be absorbed. In
       order to get amounts of curcumin in the bloodstream that are
       reasonable to have therapeutic effect, people had to take large
       amounts of curcumin...
       In searching the literature, I found that a way to change that,
       to dramatically increase the bioavailability, is actually a very
       simple process of bringing water to a boil, putting those
       capsules or some dry powder (I use it by the teaspoon), and
       boiling it for 10 to 12 minutes. That increases the amount of
       curcumin dissolved in water from that one-percent amount up to
       12 percent or so. That amount is a vast number of curcumin
       molecules that are now in a bioavailable or absorbable form."
       However, while this is certainly doable, it's really
       inconvenient, and great care must be taken to prevent staining
       your clothes and kitchen surfaces. It's a significant enough
       problem to have been dubbed "yellow kitchen syndrome," as it's
       virtually impossible to get the stains out. Turmeric is in fact
       an excellent dyeing agent for fabrics, rendering them a
       yellow-orange color.
       Convenience and efficiency has driven many of the changes in the
       forms of curcumin in later years. Because it's a fat-loving or
       lipophilic molecule, many newer preparations now include some
       sort of oil or fat, which improves its absorbability and
       bioavailability. Such preparations typically have seven to eight
       times higher absorption than the raw, unprocessed
       95-percent-concentration of dry powder. There are also newer
       sustained release preparations, which Dr. LaValley prefers and
       recommends.
       The Connection Between Cancer and Insulin Resistance
       If you are overweight, or have high blood pressure, high
       cholesterol, and/or diabetes, then in all likelihood insulin and
       leptin resistance is a factor. Insulin and leptin resistance is
       also a very common factor among cancer patients. From my
       perspective, a ketogenic diet (with or without intermittent
       fasting) would be a prudent treatment strategy to resolve that
       underlying problem. Once you've normalized your insulin and
       leptin, you don't necessarily need to maintain a ketogenic diet,
       if you find it too restrictive.
       "I agree with you that a ketogenic diet is really appropriate in
       many cases, probably the significant majority of cases," Dr.
       LaValley says. "It's been known for probably 80 years or longer
       that solid tumors, and some of the blood cancers, are
       sugar-loving. Another term is that they are addicted to sugar.
       I use [a] PET scan to demonstrate to patients that here is
       objective proof that the tumors you have in your body are
       sugar-avid. They're taking up sugar at a rate much higher than
       the other regular healthy cells. I want to drive home that
       message, so that they are motivated to alter their diet to have
       a low, low carb intake, causing their body to generate
       additional nutrient supply molecules called ketones...
       What that means is that we're trying to provide an anti-cancer
       antagonistic pressure on the cancer cells by reducing the amount
       of sugar that's readily available for uptake by reducing the
       easily available sugar in the diet and compensating for the
       nutrient reduction and sugar [reduction] by increasing healthy
       fats."
       Cutting Down on Protein May Be Particularly Useful for Cancer
       Patients
       It would also be prudent to assess your protein intake. Many
       Americans eat far more protein than required for optimal health.
       The reason for this is because your body can actually use excess
       protein (you do need some) to stimulate carbohydrate production.
       Excess protein also stimulates the mammalian target of rapamycin
       (mTOR) pathways, which are useful for building muscles but can
       be detrimental when treating cancer, as mTOR is a pathway that
       increases cellular proliferation. (Interestingly, the
       pharmaceutical drug Metformin, which has anti-cancer activity,
       also inhibits mTOR, and it turns out that curcumin has a very
       similar effect.)
       The formula I recommend for assessing how much protein you might
       need in your diet is from Dr. Rosedale, which calls for one gram
       of high-quality protein per kilogram of lean body mass, or about
       half a gram per pound of lean body mass.
       As an example, if your body fat mass is 20 percent, your lean
       mass is 80 percent of your total body weight. So, if your total
       weight is 200 pounds; you would then divide 160 by 2.2 to
       convert pounds to kilograms and come up with 72.7 grams of
       protein. If you are doing vigorous exercises or are pregnant,
       you can add up to another 25 percent or another 18 grams in this
       illustration to increase your total to 90 grams per day.
       More Information
       Dr. LaValley is available for consultation on a wide variety of
       health challenges, including cancer, and he's licensed to
       practice medicine in the US and Canada. His medical clinic is
       located in Chester, Nova Scotia, where he sees patients.
       Americans can fly there either through Chicago or Newark. His
       office number is 902-275-4555. He also spends time in Austin,
       Texas, where he conducts research. When there, he's available to
       consult for other physicians and their patients.
       "For instance, if a patient has pancreatic cancer and the
       physician wants to implement one of the protocols that I
       provide, I will do a consultation with that physician's patient
       and then make recommendations to that physician for
       implementation,"  he explains. "In that way, patients are able
       to get it locally without having to travel to Nova Scotia...
       It's a challenge right now because there's so much information
       that's not readily known by so many physicians that they become
       afraid. I think one of the biggest issues, certainly in US and
       Canada, is that when a physician wants to administer one of
       these natural products, or several of them, as well as some of
       the off-label pharmaceuticals for their anti-cancer usage, they
       are afraid of recriminations or disciplinary actions.
       That is, I think, very unfortunate, because the evidence base
       does exist for it, and it's consistent with the way that other
       types of conventional medicine or practice using off-label
       pharmaceuticals as well. I think that the most important
       movement that needs to occur is for the patients to recognize
       their own value in the decision-making process and demand that
       they have access to these therapeutic choices because they're
       available, they're supported in the evidence base, and they have
       the right to ask for them rather than to just accept whatever
       the physician is otherwise offering in the conventional realm."

       Agelbert NOTE: When my brother in law was dying of colon cancer
       with mets to the liver last year, he began to take Curcumin
       massively but it was too late. Curcumin is a strong blood
       thinner and he began to bleed profusely. This hastened his
       death.
       So Curcumin, like may other natural products out there, is
       useful in preventing cancer and any condition that a blood clot
       could cause like an embolism or heart attack. The KEY is
       prevention. Once the cancer is there, something like
       concentrated Hemp Oil is in order. Blood thinners are bad news
       when you are bleeding from cancer produced tumors or sores.
       I am not a doctor; I just read a lot and like to share my
       experience. Use discretion.

       I'm sorry to hear about your niece. So young!  :( And yes, it
       seems cancer cells absolutely love sugar. I stopped putting
       sugar in my coffee seven years ago. My health has improved
       because of it.  8)
       I'm convinced sugar is far more dangerous to human health and a
       bigger culprit in high blood pressure than salt even though salt
       in excess can be damaging.
       By the way, my SPEP/UPEP came out normal. So far, so good.
