Most people are malnourished. I’m not talking about people living in impoverished, third-world nations either. I’m talking about middle-class Americans. Because their diet consists mainly of starch, sugar, and GMO’s (genetically modified organisms), the body is disallowed from its needed intake of trace minerals, essential fatty acids, and anti-oxidants that it requires to rebuild and repair tissue, and to maintain a slightly alkaline state.

The average American is consuming about one-third of a pound of sugar every day. Most of this sugar comes from high fructose corn syrup which is the primary ingredient in processed foods such as chips, crackers, cereals, breads, pastries, cakes, cookies, and candy. Besides sucrose and fructose intake, lactose, the sugar found in dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt, is the third most common form of sugar consumed.

The so-called “health drinks,” such as fruit juice, contains a concentrated amount of pure sugar. And just because it’s “all natural”, it doesn’t mean it’s good for you. Your body can’t tell the difference between sugar from cane, sugar from fruit, sugar from milk, sugar from maple syrup, or sugar from honey. To the body, it’s all sugar! In addition to all of this, complex carbohydrate foods such as bread, pasta, soy, legumes, whole grains, and potatoes, all get converted to sugar in the bloodstream. As a result of this ever-increasing sugar addiction in the U.S., we have seen the rates of diabetes, cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and A.D.H.D. skyrocket to epidemic proportions in the last fifty years.

So, what’s wrong with sugar? Well, cancer loves it. Sugar is acidic-forming in the body because is lowers the pH. This creates the ideal environment for cancer to thrive. Cancer forms in your body all the time, and has been forming and dying since you were born. If the body is healthy and maintains a pH level that is slightly alkaline (7.35 – 7.45), then it will be able to defend itself against the proliferation of cancer cells. If, however, the environment is perfect for cancer to thrive, as in an acidic, toxic, low-oxygen state, then cancer cells can multiply rapidly and form tumors.

The best way to give the body the nutrients it needs for optimal health and maintaining an alkaline state is through diet. This means consuming as many sugar-free, nutrient-dense, anti-oxidant rich foods as you can eat. Throw out the grape nuts and begin consuming mushrooms, squash, broccoli, kale, artichokes, and peppers. And stop drowning yourself in sugary coffee drinks and begin drinking tea instead. A cup of tea (both black and green) contains about ten times the anti-oxidants found in a single serving of cauliflower.

Approximately 4 billion years ago, before the earth contained an oxygen-based atmosphere, the very first forms of life on earth fed on just two nutrients: sugar and protein. Stored within the DNA of every living organism today lies the memory of this biological fact. The very fist living cells lacked a nucleus (prokaryotic cells) and fed anaerobically on sugars and proteins.

Later, after the development of an oxygen-based atmosphere, higher organisms developed from cells containing a nucleus (eukaryotic cells) and the use of fat became a nutrient source for the first time. These aerobic-feeding cells use fatty acids and ketones for fuel, just as most mammalian and human cells do today. Because fat is an aerobic nutrient, it forms the basis of aerobic metabolism in our human bodies. This is the distinction between aerobic and anaerobic energy sources.

A Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to Dr. Otto H. Warburg in 1931 for his research on the relationship of oxygen to the pH of cancer cells. His research showed that cancer cells were anaerobic and therefore maintained more acidic pH levels. Because of the high CO2 and lactic acid production, the pH could be as low as 6.0 in a cancerous environment. He proved that there was a direct relationship between oxygen, blood Ph levels, and growing cancer cells.

There is a current theory that is becoming popularized by alternative nutritionists and holistic health providers. It involves how cancer cells proliferate in the body. The theory posits that cancer forms in a fermentative, acidic, sugar-dense, anaerobic environment which emulates our earliest primordial environment, reversing some cells to their prokaryotic, nucleus-lacking, state. This theory further postulates that cancerous tumors are masses of these identical cells that contain a weak protein matrix that feeds only on sugars.

Cancer cells form periodically in the body from birth. A healthy immune system will prevent the proliferation of them. But when the body becomes so overloaded with toxins — such as from the air we breathe, the EMF radiation we’re exposed to, the fluoride and chlorine we drink and bathe in from our water, the toxic vaccines we inject into our children, and the carcinogens, GMOs, and the dumpster-full of sugar that we consume in a lifetime — these life-giving, healthy aerobic, oxygen-feeding, eukaryotic cells are not able to properly perform their immune system duties. And this leads to the thriving of deadly cancer tumors.

The only cure for cancer is prevention. By adhering to a strict diet that is sugar-, starch-, and gluten-free, we prevent sugar from entering our bodies that were designed to feed exclusively on oxygen. This will help to create a slightly alkaline pH level of 7.35 to 7.45, ensuring that cancer cells won’t be able to form in the first place — and if by some slim chance they do form — they would be overtaken by a healthy, aerobic-feeding, anti-oxidant-based immune system.

In 1850, the average American consumed about 20 pounds of sugar annually. Today, the average American currently consumes 141 lbs of sugar (an overflowing wheelbarrow full) annually. The 2011 USDA estimates the average American consumes about two tons of sugar (enough to fill up a dumpster) in a lifetime. Yes, that’s per person.

The average person is consuming 1/3 of a pound of sugar each and every day, half of which is fructose that comes from corn syrup. And the rate of consumption continues to climb. As a result of this sugar addiction epidemic, diabetes is up from 1.6 million in 1958 to 15.1 million in 2004. Heart disease occurs in 75% of the U.S. population. And cancer has just surpassed heart disease as the number one leading cause of death in the United States.

In 1931, Dr. Otto H. Warburg was awarded a Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovering oxygen’s relationship to the pH of cancer cells. He found that cancer cells always maintained a lower (more acidic) pH level, as low as 6.0 due to the high CO2 and lactic acid production. Dr. Warburg believed that there was a direct relationship between oxygen in the blood, pH, and thriving cancer cells.

Cancer cells form in your body everyday and have been, every day, since you were born. A healthy body’s immune defense system seeks out and destroys the cancer cells whenever they appear on the scene. As long as the body is able to maintain a pH level of slightly alkaline (7.35 to 7.45), then it will be able to protect itself from cancer. However, when the blood pH drops, the risk of cancer increases. Sugar and nutrient-deficient processed foods do a great job of lowering the pH in the blood.

Currently, 90 cents out of every U.S. food dollar is spent on highly processed foods that contain high fructose corn syrup. Cancer loves sugar. It feeds on it and actually depends on it to survive. Sugar turns the blood more acidic and this is how cancer thrives. If we continue to saturate our bodies with sugar-dense, nutrient-deficient processed foods accompanied by a high carbohydrate diet consisting of mainly starchy foods such as potatoes, pasta, bread, and cereal, we will, do doubt, continue to see our cancer rates rise.

Even the so-called “healthy” carbohydrates such as rice, beans, peas, and whole grains are all about 60% starch. And starch turns to sugar in the bloodstream. When we begin eliminating all the sugary, starch foods from our diet, we will naturally be replacing them with high fibrous vegetables such as peppers, broccoli, squash, artichokes, mushrooms, spinach, kale, cabbage, and other nutrient-dense foods that are teaming with beneficial antioxidants. And unlike the starchy foods, the fiber-rich vegetables are highly alkaline forming in the blood, raising your pH level, and creating a healthy balance of oxygen and anti-oxidants in your cells. This, above all, is the most powerful defense against cancer.
