We know sugar is bad, but how bad?

The only area in which there is a consensus among all dietary approaches and researches is the immense damage from sugars, especially regular sugar (sucrose).
Eating sugar quickly raises blood glucose, insulin, and IGF whose function is to accelerate the growth of cells and tissues, therefore, accelerate cancer cell growth.
In an experiment, mice were injected with breast cancer cells and some were given a high glycemic diet and some a low glycemic diet. Within two and a half months, 67% of the mice fed a high glycemic index diet, died while only 5% of the mice fed the low glycemic index diet died.
It is very important to look not only at a single food component but at the glycemic index for the entire meal. That's why it is important to avoid eating sugars and sweets, especially on an empty stomach or between meals. Consumption of sugar (sucrose) at the average level (average 140 grams per day) in young people was associated with a 59% greater chance of getting intestinal cancer than those who consumed a fifth of the average.

Between Guacamole and Avocado Salad
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 medium purple/white onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into small squares
- 2 hard-boiled egg (optional)
spices
- 2 tablespoons chopped organic parsley
- Juice of one lemon
- 2 tablespoons cold pressed olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Atlantic sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Directions:
1. Peel and crush the avocado and hard-boiled egg.
2. Add the remaining vegetables.
3. Add the spices, oil and lemon juice and mix.
4. Serve immediately.
Important – Avocado tends to oxidize and turn black. If you do not eat the salad right away, cover it with olive oil and put a bag over it (meaning “stick” the bag to the olive oil) to prevent any contact between the spread and oxygen. Keep in the fridge until you are ready to eat.

Is Soy good or bad for you?
Soy is one of the most controversial foods regarding health. In research, there are many pros and cons of soy. In addition to the debate about the soy phytoestrogens, and their effect, soy contains a phytic acid that can only be removed in soy by fermentation and also a great part of soy crops worldwide is genetically modified. So, if you want to use soy, prefer to consume mainly organic and fermented soy such as soy sauce, tamari, miso, tempeh (Tampa) and Natto. Tofu and soy milk are less recommended because it passes only a partial fermentation. In any case, moderation in quantities of soy consumption is recommended.

What to look for when buying oils?
After decades of viewing oils as the enemy of health, we already know that oils can be good or bad depending on the kind of oil. There are different types of healthy oils, but the best, especially for cancer patients and survivors is Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Also recommended are Avocado and coconut oils. The most important factor when buying oils besides the kind of oil and it's origins, is the process oil goes through before it arrives to the store.
The oils can be refined or cold pressed. Buy only cold pressed oils.

How to get pure water?
The importance of drinking water is obvious, but even when the water is clean and good, the water containers can be a problem. Beware of plastic chemical residue from plastic bottles like Bisphenol A (BPA), so look for products specifically labeled as “BPA-free”. Another problem with plastic bottles are: Phthalates -the more flexible the bottle is, the more phthalates (and dangers) it has. In general, try to avoid plastic containers. The best bottles to use are glass when possible. You can also carry your own metal bottle (preferably stainless steel) with you instead of buying plastic bottles.

What are prebiotics? Yes, Prebiotics – not Probiotics
We've all heard about the importance of probiotics, but what about Prebiotics? Prebiotics are non - digestible food ingredients that feed the growth of healthful bacteria in the colon. So, the probiotics bring the good bacteria to your body but the prebiotic gives it conditions to live and thrive there.
Fiber is the source of prebiotics, food that are high in fiber are also high in prebiotics. Prebiotics are found especially in: raw onions, raw garlic, raw leek, cooked onions, banana, apples, cocoa, flaxseed, cabbage, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots and beets.
So make sure you get more of them!

Probiotics, how to get them without dairy products?
Probiotics are live "good" bacteria that are essential both to suppress pathogenic bacteria and to help with the digestion of carbohydrates and proteins. A bacteria imbalance in our intestine stimulates inflammation and many diseases. Probiotic bacteria protect the intestine by attaching to its wall and by doing so, they create resistance to pathogenic bacteria and inflammation. Probiotics are essential in anti-cancer diet and for a healthy gut. The easy way to get them is from yogurt, but if you avoid dairy products due to the many problems they cause, there are many other
sources of Probiotics like: fermented foods such as homemade sauerkraut and pickles, tempeh, miso, natto, kimchi, kombucha, coconut yogurt or kefir and raw green peas.

Homemade Mayonnaise sauce
It's preferable to avoid commercial mayonnaise. It has many preservatives added; also, light mayonnaise has a lot of added sugar to improve its flavor. But it’s simple and easy to prepare homemade mayonnaise.
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup cold pressed olive oil
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt
Directions:
Put all ingredients but the oil in the food processor, blend at slow speed. Add the oil slowly. There are two drawbacks of homemade mayonnaise - the first is a very short shelf life (up to 3 days in the refrigerator) and the other is that raw eggs might contain salmonella. You can buy organic mayonnaise, but you should make sure that it is made entirely with olive oil.
Important – Homemade mayonnaise will hold refrigerated up to 3 days.

Cruciferous vegetable intake and mortality in middle-aged adults.
A recent research released on Clin Nutr. 2018 Apr 24, found an inverse association between cruciferous vegetable intake and total mortality in both gender. Cruciferous vegetable intake was associated with lower cancer mortality, as well as with heart disease and cerebrovascular disease.
PMID: 29739681 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2018.04.012
So Green cabbage, Red cabbage, Cauliflower, Broccoli, and Kohlrabi
are helpful not only against cancer but also good to your heart.

Another scientific proof to the great importance of vegetables and fruits🍊🍉🍋🍇
Vegetables, fruit, and cancer prevention: a review.
Steinmetz KA1, Potter JD.
Abstract
In this review of the scientific literature on the relationship between vegetable and fruit consumption and risk of cancer, results from 206 human epidemiologic studies and 22 animal studies are summarized. The evidence for a protective effect of greater vegetable and fruit consumption is consistent for cancers of the stomach, esophagus, lung, oral cavity and pharynx, endometrium, pancreas, and colon. The types of vegetables or fruit that most often appear to be protective against cancer are raw vegetables, followed by allium vegetables, carrots, green vegetables, cruciferous vegetables, and tomatoes. Substances present in vegetables and fruit that may help protect against cancer, and their mechanisms, are also briefly reviewed; these include dithiolthiones, isothiocyanates, indole-3-carbinol, allium compounds, isoflavones, protease inhibitors, saponins, phytosterols, inositol hexaphosphate, vitamin C, D-limonene, lutein, folic acid, beta carotene, lycopene, selenium, vitamin E, flavonoids, and dietary fiber. Current US vegetable and fruit intake, which averages about 3.4 servings per day, is discussed, as are possible noncancer-related effects of increased vegetable and fruit consumption, including benefits against cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, obesity, diverticulosis, and cataracts. Suggestions for dietitians to use in counseling persons toward increasing vegetable and fruit intake are presented.

What about Legumes?
Legumes, including Lentils, Beans and Hummus have a good influence on our body. A study showed a reduction of 50% in chances of getting any type of cancer when consuming legumes more than twice a week in comparison to consuming it less than once a week. The legumes should be soaked a few hours, better overnight, and then be rinsed in water before cooking. Legumes need to be cooked at least 100° C (212° F) until soft but at least for 15 minutes. It’s preferable to sprout them. It's also very good to eat them together with vegetables.
