| 0:00.0 | So as you probably already know, cancer and sugar are best friends, and sugar can trigger |
| 0:27.7 | the formation of cancer. So cancer is an avid sugar eater. Now, what do I mean by avid? I mean |
| 0:34.8 | greedy. It hogs all this sugar. And the reason it does that is because of its metabolism. It's very |
| 0:41.8 | different than our normal cells. It ferments sugar. It's anaerobic, meaning without oxygen. So |
| 0:49.6 | doctors will use PET scans, which is the process where you inject someone with radio labeled glucose. |
| 0:56.1 | So then it emits radiation and you can identify it on a machine. And you can find out what part of |
| 1:02.7 | the body is hogging all this glucose. That's where the cancer is. That's where the tumor is. |
| 1:07.5 | And cancer cells break down sugar much faster than normal cells. In a study about six years ago, |
| 1:13.4 | the Journal of Clinical Investigation may basically prove that the overconsumption of sugar |
| 1:19.0 | promotes cancer. And there's so many other studies that link obesity to cancer, diabetes, |
| 1:26.2 | increasing the risk of kidney cancer. Now, what causes obesity? Sugar. So everything seems to be |
| 1:32.6 | coming back to this sugar thing. So one way, this is my opinion of preventing cancer is to not consume |
| 1:40.4 | sugar. I mean, it's pretty obvious. Sugar creates a lot of oxidation. And the real cause of cancer |
| 1:48.1 | is damage in the mitochondria. And so then the cell as a survival mechanism converts over to a |
| 1:54.4 | different type of cell, which involves fermentation of sugars. And there's many other things that can |
| 1:59.4 | actually damage a mitochondria to contribute to this, but sugar is one of them. If you want to know |
| 2:04.2 | the other ones, just look up anything that is carcinogenic. So one big strategy to prevent cancer is |
| 2:09.7 | to go on healthy keto and intermittent fasting. Why? Because that's going to avoid sugar. But there's |
| 2:16.4 | one more thing I want to tell you about, which I think is very important. What happens when you actually |
| 2:21.4 | have cancer? Will a ketogenic diet be enough? And the answer is, I don't think so. You have to do |
| 2:28.1 | things a little bit differently because you have two situations. You have the fuel that feeds the |
| 2:34.5 | cancer cell. And you also have the raw material that helps build the structure of a cancer cell. |
