Sugar kills
The white devil
I’m about to go off on this one! I found the real white devil and his name is Sugar. Let me start with this one exerpt from an article on what to expect when you go get tested for cancer:
“You have the injection of the radioactive tracer about an hour before the scan. You have the injection through a small plastic tube in your arm (cannula). It’s only a small amount of radiation.
You need to rest and avoid moving too much during this hour. This allows the radioactive tracer to spread through your body and into your tissues.
The radioactive tracer is a radioactive sugar. The one commonly used is called FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose). Cancer cells are very active when they are growing and reproducing in a specific area. They need energy to grow. So, active cancer cells take up the FDG which then shows up brighter on the scan.”
So, let me get this straight. In order for cancer cells to come out, you have to inject sugar??
I don’t know about you, but that was all that I needed to hear, and from that day on there was a connection between sugar and cancer in my eyes and nobody will convince me otherwise. Sometimes the things that seem impossible to figure out are like right in your face. And of course I should say that I am not a nutritionist or doctor, but I have common sense and eyes. Common sense tells me that cancer cells like sugar, and my eyes show me what people look like who drink a lot of sodas, candy and processed foods. And let’s not forget all the other diseases and illnesses that are associated with the consumption of sugar smh. If my paranoia doesn’t convince you to lay off of sugar, then maybe the following 2 lists will.
50 Reasons to say NO to sugar
The following list is a compilation of diseases I had ChatGPT put together, and it’s only the top 50, the list would go on lol…..enjoy your sugar!
Obesity: Diets high in sugar can contribute to weight gain and obesity, which in turn increases the risk of numerous health problems.
Type 2 Diabetes: Excessive sugar consumption can lead to insulin resistance, a condition where cells become less responsive to insulin, which is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. This can eventually lead to type 2 diabetes.

Increased Risk of Stroke: High sugar intake has been associated with an increased risk of stroke, possibly due to its effects on blood pressure, inflammation, and blood vessel function.
Muscle Loss: Consuming too much sugar, particularly refined sugars, may contribute to muscle loss over time, especially if not accompanied by sufficient protein intake and exercise.
Impaired Cognitive Function: Excessive sugar consumption has been linked to cognitive impairment and a higher risk of developing conditions like Alzheimer’s disease later in life.
Altered Gut Microbiota: High sugar intake can disrupt the balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut microbiota, potentially leading to digestive problems and inflammation.
Increased Risk of Asthma: Some studies suggest that diets high in sugar may increase the risk of developing asthma or exacerbate symptoms in individuals with existing asthma.
Poor Dental Health in Children: High sugar intake, particularly in the form of sugary beverages and snacks, is a major contributor to tooth decay and cavities in children.
Impaired Liver Function: Excessive sugar consumption, especially fructose, can overload the liver and contribute to liver dysfunction, fatty liver disease, and even liver cirrhosis in severe cases.
Elevated LDL Cholesterol: Diets high in added sugars may raise levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol in the blood, increasing the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.

Weakened Bones: Excessive sugar consumption may interfere with bone mineral density and bone metabolism, increasing the risk of fractures and osteoporosis.
Compromised Fertility: High sugar intake has been associated with reduced fertility in both men and women, possibly due to its effects on hormone levels and reproductive function.
Risk of Metabolic Acidosis: Diets high in sugar can contribute to metabolic acidosis, a condition characterized by an imbalance in the body’s acid-base levels, which can lead to various health problems if left untreated.
Impaired Memory and Learning: Excessive sugar consumption has been linked to cognitive impairments, including memory problems and difficulties with learning and information processing.
Increased Risk of Erectile Dysfunction: High sugar intake can damage blood vessels and impair circulation, contributing to erectile dysfunction in men.
Exacerbation of Autoimmune Disorders: Some research suggests that high sugar intake may exacerbate symptoms of autoimmune disorders by promoting inflammation and immune system dysfunction.
