Anyway, to sum up, I give people temporary passes only because they BELIEVE they can't be vegan. It's our responsibility to SHOW them that they CAN. The whole world says, "It's impossible." We have to be there going, "No, look at us. We are doing it every day." I think almost everyone can be vegan. I think it's not possible to do it thinking in terms of perfection and purity; if eating a hamburger bun with milk products used as dough conditioners is the same thing as eating a bacon cheeseburger, why not eat the bacon cheeseburger? I think it is only possible in terms of working with people where they are, educating them and showing them the possibilities. |
...My mother is also a cancer patient, and she has been instructed to restrict her carbohydrates (sugars) because cancer loves to eat sugar...

Since that one is so unorthodox in cancer treatment I've got to ask, did that advice actually come from a doctor and did she get a second opinion?
Fat and meat reduce insulin sensitivity, actually increasing between meal blood glucose regardless of reduced carbohydrate intake. Vegans just zip that blood glucose right into glycogen stores because of proper insulin function, thats why low fat vegan diets have been used to cure diabetes for a hundred years... Always be suspicious of dietary advice from doctors, even the WHO has gone on record calling them shockingly incompetent in regards to diet and nutrition. Heck, my fathers doctor encouraged patients to cook with lard- lol |
Interesting.
In the past I'd heard general practitioners speculate that restricting refined sugar might be good for cancer patients, but I didnt know cancer specialists were beginning to advocate lowering dietary carbohydrate over all. Looks like I need to read more medical journals, lol. [I have seen papers where no-carb chow was better than american diet style chow, but equal to low fat vegan style diet in rats, but nothing on human cancer patients that I can recall] |
