RE: A danger to public health? Uproar as scientist urges us to eat more salt

in #health7 years ago

On a slightly different note- I read a book called Sugar Blues by William Dufty. In it he makes a connection between processed (white) sugar and cancer. The more I began to look at it, I can see a relationship between the level of processing in foodstuffs and a similar rise in cancer rates. I'm now convinced that processed foods are the largest contributing factor in cancer.

Sort:  

I think its pretty easy to cure cancer. The hard part is avoiding all the chemicals in the food, water and air that cause cancer.

Too much $$$ in treating cancer to look for a cure (and I agree with you). It's almost impossible to avoid all the chemicals. In Dufty's book he says that even if you don't use sugar, drink pop, or eat sweets, the average person eats 50 lbs of sugar a year. Almost all food contains sugar, as do cigarettes, for that matter. Sugar is 10x more addictive than heroin.

Everything in moderation is fine. Too much salt or too much sugar is bad.

White sugar is poison! I use raw sugar, not only is it better for you, but it has a wonderful flavor.

well yes, I am talking about raw sugar. I don't use white sugar either. Happy weekend! :)
