" Cancer cells use the less efficient process of fermentation, which
generates less energy but does not require oxygen. As a result, the cancer
cells must take in large amounts of glucose. The appetite of cancer cells
for glucose is so great that it can be used to identify small groups of
tumor cells that have spread throughout the body. "

Johns Hopkins is a medical research institution. The Mayo Clinic is a hospital. The following
is from a CNN interview with a Mayo Clinic specialist (May 16, 2005). The
article is titled: Debunking cancer myths: An interview with a Mayo Clinic specialist.
The "myth":
People with cancer shouldn't eat sugar, since it can cause cancer to grow
faster.
The Mayo Clinic's "debunking" answer:
Sugar doesn't make cancer grow faster. All cells, including cancer cells, depend on blood sugar (glucose) for energy. But giving more sugar to cancer cells doesn't speed their growth. Likewise, depriving cancer cells of sugar doesn't slow their growth.

The message is, Johns Hopkins is wrong; Otto Warburg, Nobel Laureate, has
been wrong; the whole international research community is wrong, the Mayo
Clinic oncologist is right: Cancer patients can eat as much sugar as they
want; it will have no effect on the growth of their cancer.

... for cancer, there is only one prime cause. Summarized in a few words, the
prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal
body cells by a fermentation of sugar. All normal body cells meet their energy
needs by respiration of oxygen, whereas cancer cells meet their energy needs in
great part by fermentation.
In every case, during the
cancer development, the oxygen respiration always falls, fermentation appears,
and the highly differentiated cells are transformed into fermenting anaerobes,
which have lost all their body functions and retain only the now useless
property of growth and replication. Thus, when respiration disappears, life does
not disappear, but the meaning of life disappears, and what remains are growing
machines that destroy the body in which they grow.
Whom should we believe, the research scientists, or the oncologist?
