Glycemic Restriction in Cancer Patients: A 7-Year, Controlled Interventional Study

Previous research has shown a correlation between blood sugar or glycemic load and cancer growth for a number of types of cancer. Those studies were retrospective and/or studies of fewer than 20 human subjects and/or studies on mice. This study is a 7-year interventional study of 317 human patients at one clinic, who were treated naturopathically, with anti-neoplastic nutrients and herbs, plus the recommended dietary intervention of abstention from sweetened foods. Consuming sweetened foods (other than stevia sweetened foods) made a significant difference in patient outcome across all stages and all types of cancer. We therefore recommend that the diet of cancer patients not contain sweetened foods other than stevia.
