Welcome to Dishing of Nutrition this morning.

Brought to you by Nutritional Weight and Wellness.

I'm Melanie Beasley and I'm a registered and licensed dietitian.

And today's show is very, very important to me because I am also a cancer survivor.

Let me tell you, having cancer was a wake-up call for me.

So I made the changes to my nutritional habits and lifestyle habits that are necessary for me

to optimize my odds of living a cancer-free life. This morning, Carolyn Hudson, a very experienced

dietitian and I will share our insights about the sugar connection to cancer.

Morning, Carolyn.

Good morning.

I just mentioned that after experiencing the diagnosis of cancer, I'm now living my life

with nutritional habits and lifestyle habits that support my long-term health.

So the cancer does not return. That's what we're always looking for.

stop doing any dishes, maybe turn up the volume and sit down and listen. Those chores can wait.
