Forget To Eat Podcast - Why Does Cancer Love Diabetes

EPISODE #42

Why Does Cancer LOVE Diabetes?

Did you know, 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.

Forget To Eat Podcast - Low Insulin Diet - EP-#39

EPISODE #38

Is a Low Insulin Diet For  You?

There is a way of eating that keeps a body from releasing large quantities of insulin.
