The affinity of cancerous tissue for sugar is well known. Studies have shown that: > Those who consume fizzy drinks and syrup-based (squash) drinks twice or more times a day run a 90% higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer than those who never consume them. > Women with high blood sugar (hyperglycaemia) are more likely to develop cancers, even if they don't have diabetes.

Lack of sleep weakens your immune system, leading to colds, flu or other infection. Studies have shown that even moderate amounts of sleep deprivation reduce the levels of white blood cells and immune system effectiveness. One study showed that if you deprive rats of sleep for only 8 hours and then challenge the body with a foreign substance, the antibody response is weak. Mice deprived of sleep...

If antibiotic resistance persists -- for cancer patients, this may mean higher mortality, more difficult and more expensive treatment, and many side effects. Many treatment options will disappear entirely. Antibiotic resistant bacteria will thus set cancer treatment back for decades, while the incidence of cancer cases will continue to rise in the years to come. Cancer treatments such as...

SUGAR depresses the immune system and lowers our immunity to diseases. Over-consumption of sugar paralyses our white blood cell’s phagocytic ability (ie its ability to engulf and absorb waste material, harmful microorganisms, or other foreign bodies in the bloodstream and tissues), increasing the risk of viral infections.   There are 60-400 trillion phagocytic white blood cells active in the...

They also have no food additives which are added not for eating, but for longer shelf-life; replace lost colours and flavours; and other needs of the food industry. You can get more vitamins, minerals, and proteins at low...

Researchers from University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein in Germany say it might cause problems for groups that are already at risk from blood pressure issues, like smokers or the elderly. Cerebral blood flow, the blood supply to the brain, was found to drop by an average of 7.5 percent in the men wearing a necktie, with no drop reported in the control group. The difference is likely to...
