    Why Does Cancer LOVE Diabetes?

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 27, 2020 12:24


    There’s a connection between diabetes and cancer. And the medical community is not sharing it. The fact is, cancer cells consume large amounts of blood sugar. And like all living organisms, when there’s ample amounts of fuel, in the case of cancer it is blood sugar or glucose, the organism can thrive.In this episode Barbara McDermott, founder of SHIFT Formula connects the dots between diabetes and cancer.Cancer cells are designed to maximize their absorption of glucose from our blood. Cancer cells need about thirty times more glucose than healthy cells. And insulin which is released to reduce blood sugar, allows sugar into the cells. In effect, insulin opens the door for cancer cell growth.But there is an obvious and simple solution. A low insulin diet puts a LID on cancer fuel and also returns the body to its natural, healthy non-diabetic state.Read the article version of this podcast here:
