Many cancer cells rely heavily on glucose (the Warburg effect) and cannot efficiently use ketones. A strict ketogenic diet may starve these tumors while nourishing healthy cells. In one case, it led to a 70% reduction in cancer markers in six weeks, far exceeding chemotherapy's expected 30%.

Your body doesn't differentiate between the source of sugar molecules. Sugar from honey, agave, or freshly squeezed juice is processed the same way as sugar from a soda, leading to similar glucose spikes and health impacts. The 'natural' label is irrelevant to the biochemistry.

Instead of medicating or ignoring symptoms like fatigue or mood swings, view them as your body's way of signaling an underlying issue. By treating symptoms as messages, you can focus on the root cause (like glucose spikes), which makes the 'messages' disappear.

Alzheimer's can be understood as a vascular disease rooted in nitric oxide deficiency. This decline impairs blood flow, glucose uptake, and inflammation regulation in the brain. Therefore, strategies to restore nitric oxide address the physiological root causes of the disease, not just the symptoms like plaque buildup.

Eating sugar on an empty stomach causes a rapid glucose spike. Consuming the same sweet treat after a meal containing fiber, protein, and fat slows the glucose absorption, significantly reducing the spike and preventing the subsequent craving roller coaster.

Many chronic illnesses, including high blood pressure, cancer, and cognitive decline, are not separate issues but symptoms of a single underlying problem: chronically elevated insulin levels. This metabolic “trash” accumulates over years, making the body a breeding ground for disease.

Starting a meal with vegetables allows their fiber to coat the upper intestine, creating a protective mesh. This slows down the absorption of glucose from starches and sugars consumed later in the meal, dramatically reducing the subsequent blood sugar spike.

A typical sweet breakfast (cereal, juice, smoothie) creates a massive morning glucose spike, triggering a day-long cycle of cravings and fatigue. Switching to a savory breakfast built around protein stabilizes glucose levels from the start, providing steady energy and eliminating cravings.

Counterintuitively, if your blood sugar doesn't spike after consuming sugar, it may not mean you're healthy. It could indicate your body is overproducing insulin to compensate, a sign of advanced insulin resistance which often precedes prediabetes.
