7. Refined Sugar
By refined sugar, we mean regular white sugar, brown sugar, most agave nectars, and high fructose corn syrup — not the type of sugar that comes in natural foods such as fruit. Refined sugars spike blood sugar levels and cause our cells to become insulin-resistant. Also, cancer cells feed on sugar. It creates an acidic environment, another thing that cancer needs in order to thrive.
High fructose corn syrup is the worst offender, as studies have shown that cancer cells are able to very quickly metabolize this type of sugar. Since most baked goods, such as cookies, cakes, pies, and cereals contain this type of sugar, you would be wise to make most of from scratch. Many processed foods also contain high amounts of refined sugars, including high fructose corn syrup, which would explain why cancer rates continue to increase at a staggering rate. Avoid refined sugars as much as possible if you wish to avoid cancer as much as humanly possible.

Until this country starts to seriously ban GMOs and many of the chemicals used to produce our foods unnaturally, the cost of safe and GMO free foods will continue to rise and move further away from what is considered affordable to many of this country’s folks. $1.50 per lemon, $1.75 per avocado? Rediculous

My lemons are up to $2.00 & avacados $3.00. Anyway, our soil we grow all our food in, is not only contaminated but so nutritionally deficient, those lemons and all our foods, aren’t as healthy as we think. Sad!
