The Truth About Cancer<br />
Ty: How does sugar relate to <strong>cancer</strong><br />
Dr. David Jockers: Well, sugar is a fuel for <strong>cancer</strong> cells so basically<br />
<strong>cancer</strong> cells <strong>the</strong>y have an altered metabolism, an altered physiology and<br />
<strong>the</strong>y’re not able to produce energy from aerobic metabolism. And so <strong>the</strong><br />
mitochondria itself is damaged. And so <strong>the</strong>y depend on anaerobic<br />
metabolism so without oxygen which is basically breaking down sugar.<br />
So <strong>the</strong>y utilize sugar and <strong>the</strong>y produce a lot of waste products<br />
particularly one that we’re probably all familiar with, lactic acid. And so<br />
<strong>the</strong>y produce a high amount of acids and <strong>the</strong>y consume a tremendous<br />
amount of energy in our system through sugar.<br />
And so basically when we take <strong>the</strong> sugar out we’re taking out <strong>the</strong><br />
preferred fuel source for <strong>the</strong> <strong>cancer</strong> cells. So <strong>the</strong>y become weakened in<br />
that state. As opposed to when we’re fueling our body with a lot of sugar<br />
not only has it caused <strong>the</strong> free radical damage, which is what actually<br />
damages <strong>the</strong> mitochondria to begin with, and creates this whole<br />
process, but at <strong>the</strong> same time we’re also providing <strong>the</strong> preferred fuel<br />
source for more <strong>cancer</strong> cell development in our body.<br />
See, what most people don’t realize is all of us have <strong>cancer</strong> cells. We’re<br />
all developing <strong>the</strong>m every single day. Typically our immune system<br />
would hunt <strong>the</strong>m down and regulate <strong>the</strong>m. However, when we’ve got<br />
immune deficiencies, which is ano<strong>the</strong>r problem with sugar it weakens<br />
our body’s innate immune system and so when that happens now <strong>the</strong>se<br />
<strong>cancer</strong> cells will start to grow without being checked, being kept in check<br />
by our body’s natural immune response. So we just continue to dump in<br />
<strong>the</strong> sugar.<br />
