Hi All
Apologies if this has already been discussed.
Many people swear that sugar is a cancer accelerant but my Oncologist says that the link is totally unproven.
Does anyone have any updated evidence or personal experience with this subject?
It seems too important a subject to ignore!
Thank you as always

Hi Russell. I agree with your oncologist. There are plenty of theories on the internet but just how many of these are down to informed peer reviewed research is likely what drives your oncologist’s opinion.
